Carnage

My mum got me a compilation of the original carnage comics for xmas one year, think it was recommended to her by a forbidden planet employee. I love Carnage, he looks like he's made out of gore which is just fucking awesome. It has a lot of the other spiderman villains in it, who I love so much. I ship venorbius so much. This also got me into a brief Morbius phase which was interesting. I like his comics but that bloody film has ruined his reputation for anyone who hasn't read them. Speaking of shit films, I'm not really a fan of Carnage's film, but I did enjoy getting to see his awesome gore bits realistically animated.

I've got so many carnage comics and compilations because everyone knows I like carnage.

Gothic Lolita

A Marvel character if you can believe it. She's from this series called Livewires, which is about robots that look exactly like people and they're assasins. Each of them has their own personality and their own things they're good at. She's called Gothic Lolita litterally because that's her style. Discovered her in a Deadpool comic, and I had to research more about her because I loved her vibes.

Hit Monkey

Genuinely the coolest character to ever exist. He's one of those fluffy Japanese snow monkey things, but after his family got killed he became an assassin. He is the most talented and stealthy assassin ever and I love him. I am absolutely desperate to read his origin story, I've only read comics where he's working with/against deadpool, who I also really like but maybe not enough for his own details tag. I just love the gore in deadpool to be fair. I also saw the hit monkey animated tv programme on disney+, which I quite liked even though animated things aren't usually my cup of tea.

This is on the cover of a comic I own, I reckon it was one of the first I got where I paid less than it's worth, which I'm proud of.

Judge Death

He's from a world where being alive is a crime, so he goes around killing people in mega-city one. I've read his first appearance in the complete case files (volume 3), and I own a comic which I think includes the first appearance of the dark judges! I want to read more of his comics, especially with the other dark judges because I'm emo. Also his origin story because what the fuck I keep getting insane lore from reading the wiki to check that I'm right.

Swamp Thing

A DC character. They've had 2 swamp things, Alec Holland and Levi Kamei. I have a comic of Alec Holland's swamp thing (the curse) which is one of my favourite comics of all time (especially as it's a werewolf comic, I fucking love werewolves). I have 2 compilations of Levi Kamei's swamp thing. They're sort of deep and emotional, which I can appreciate in some comics. One of my compilations of Levi Kamei's swamp thing is signed by Mike Perkins! He even drew swamp thing in the cover. I got it at comiccon.

Walter

Walter is a robot who originally worked in the justice department, but, for his service helping Judge Dredd in the robot wars, in which he got so scared he got a speech impediment (so people call him walter the wobot), he became a free robot who didn't have to work (the first one!). However, he decided to work as Judge Dredd's house robot. He was a silly and funny character, I love him, he's so underrated. Sadly, he was put in prison for 30 years (had to google that one as I thought they factory reset him!) when he started protesting against the judges (after Judge Dredd fucking ABANDONED HIM), in a Judge Giant comic from the 90s. I own the 2000AD comic in which that happens, and I've read his first appearance as well.

This is from the series where Judge Dredd works on the moon for a bit, Walter comes with him and finds a girlfriend, sometimes I miss these more chill comics.
