Hi everyone,

 

I have thought about putting this together for a while, but kept thinking, I need to wait till my sub comes back from CGC. I keep sending more carnage junk off, so I decided to just start the thread.

 

A short backstory... I was a military brat, and moved to the stateside in 1994 when I was 9 years old. When I came stateside the Maximum books were really hot, and I played the out of the Maximum Carnage video game. It was my first real exposure to comic books. I tried to snag all of the Maximum Carnage series but never could.

 

The past couple years I made it a goal to collect the series in 9.8, and it turned into collecting everything carnage.

 

Anyways my next two posts will be my timeline of carnage in comics, since he had a few cameos before ASM 361, and the second will be my collection.

Here is my collection so far.

 

I have 4 361's graded 9.8 and 4 9.6. I also have 2 sets of 362/363, and a 2nd print of 361 and 362.

I didn't put these raws in the group shot, but I have 6 different foreign variants of 361 -

Maximum Carnage 1-13 in 9.8 14 is in 9.6, but I have a raw at CGC that could go all the way.

Everyone knows about ASM 430 and 431, but there was also a Carnage Surfer What If? -

It doesn't have Carnage, but I'm also a big Venom fan and I didn't want a straight recreation. Pencils by Mark Bagley, inks by Randy Emberlin.

Model sheets by Tom Lyle and Ron Lim (both artists on Maximum Carnage) -

Here is my OA from Maximum Carnage.

 

I have a heroes page and a villains page. Some dork removed the word balloon on the villains page.

I always like seeing focused collections.

 

Do you have a sealed Maximum Carnage game in the collection and if so what system SNES or Genesis? It's a must have for the collection IMO(at least a complete boxed one).

 

Thanks everyone!

 

I agree, it is on my list of buys.

Issue #345 was the toughest for me to find in CGC 9.8...and also one of my favorite. Couldn't find anybody with it slabbed so I had to buy it raw. Submitted 3 issues before one came back 9.8.

 

Great collection.

doh! Forgot to put my #345 in the pic.

 

Next time.

 

I haven't grabbed a #344 yet for whatever reason.
