August 2, 2011 11:34 pm What bothrs me most about the death of Ultimate Spidey is not that came out of nowhere (though I agree with that sentiment), or that it was precipitated by a pointless sacrifice in the midst of a dumb event (New Ultimates vs. Ultimate Avengers? Is there a third choice?). But more than anything else it bothers me that this Death of Spider-Man event follows less than 2 years after the fake-out death from Ultimatum and the resulting reboot of Ultimate Spider-Man. And I was glad that he survived (exactly how? nevermind it's comics magic). And I would have been fine if he survived this too. Even though Marvel would surely have had a false-advertising class-action lawsuit on their hands. Wait, what's that? They do this all the time? Ah. Actually what I was really hoping for was that he would survive but hang up his cowl and take it easy and just be a kid for a while. A la Harry Potter. Let someone else be the hero for a bit, fine, but did we have to kill off the coolest guy in the Ultimate universe?

July 28, 2011 1:02 pm I remember contemplating sending this in. I was kind of freaked out when it said "Not available through newsstands" but then my comic shop guy assured me he would get it. I didn't know there was a difference between comic shops and newsstands then.

July 13, 2011 5:33 pm There's a mystical connection for Iron Fist and Dr. Strange. But I'm not sure how that fits with Shred Hulk. I just hope IT doesn't turn out to be midichlorians.

June 17, 2011 11:24 am Season 8 could have used some Morrisson-style story condensation. It was about 2/3 good. Coincidentally, 2/3 of 40 is just about 26, which is the normal number of episodes in a season. Granted, a 22-page comic is not the same as a 44-minute episode, but I still think a 2-year run is the maximum they should try to push a comic "season."

Very nice. I wonder what the ticket price is for a cruise to the Savage Land. 

May 22, 2011 9:39 am Geoffrey Rush's voiceover definitely helps. But there's still an ugliness to the cgi. I have low hopes, but I'm not against this movie.
