January 11, 2013 12:58 pm Excellent article. Thanks for the heads up that mail-order subs arrive a month late. I'm moving this summer. One of my choices is out in the sticks and therefore does not have any nearby LCS that I can find. There were certainly none the last time I lived there. I was thinking about digging out my credit card and ordering my favorite mutant titles via the mail. But now I'm going to rethink that idea. Now, for the most part, after I get comics from my LCS, I head home, flip to the back and peel off the Digital Code sticker. Off to the Marvel web site I go to redeem and then download on my Android 10" tablet (Original Transformer, if you are wondering). That way I can read a book or two before I fall asleep in bed. But can I go all digital? I'm a Marvel zombie, so everything is available day and date as the hard copy. I even went so far as to buy ASM 700 (thru the app on my iPhone which already has my CC number tied to my iTunes account) while on vacation away from home. However, when I got home, I still picked up the paper copy sitting in my pull pile. I still like having the paper copy. I consider it a back up just in case digital comics disappear some day (No Please!) I would love the idea of getting an e-mail with the codes for the books I've subscribed to that come out that week. But I can't see this happening unless they know exactly what codes I will receive from the comics in the mail. Don't think Marvel would like me have 2 copies of everything, especially since I could sell the unused codes or something like that. But then again, the whole point may be moot, as I'm hoping to get posted to my second location option (a major city, btw, with tons of shops).

September 13, 2011 4:46 pm The question of a DC / Marvel crossover came up several times at the Marvel panels during FanExpo. Marvel said that DC has certain conditions (editorial / financial?) for a crossover to happen that Marvel cannot / will not comply with. They do not see a crossover happening anything in the near future.

August 4, 2011 9:23 am Just like Ultimate Spider-Man 160, this book rated another "Meh" from me. I'm sorry, but the over-hyped reveal did nothing for me. We don't know this person, we don't know their story, etc. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know. We will find out more in (another) Ultimate Spider-Man #1.

Seriously though, if the issue is polly-bagged and Marvel announces all the new details to the press the day before, I will not buy any more Ultimate titles (and I have purchased every Ultimate title post-Ultimatum relaunch).

I like the costume design. As soon as I saw this pic, I set it as my iPhone lockscreen wallpaper.

January 26, 2011 10:09 am @D  Yup. same thing happened to me on Facebook... My local radio station posted the spoiler right in the title of their post. There was no avoiding it!

October 25, 2010 7:08 pm No!! Keep Portacio for as long as possible!!

February 5, 2010 4:56 pm Can I watch this even though I've only watched up to the end of Season 2?

November 9, 2009 6:09 pm This series is now on the fence for me. If the stories stay strange and weird... I'm jumping ship.

November 9, 2009 5:37 pm And I thought Wolverine made too many appearances in Marvel Comics in a month! I knew this issue was going to be a filler... but Deadpool. This issue is going to the bottom of my stack.
