Honestly... I never bought the ultimate line but was always intrigued. I jumped in for this finally and finally understood what the negativity about Loeb was all about.

But listen... everybody...  If you bought this like me out of curiosity: "Just wanted to know how it was going to end"... then make a promise to EVERYBODY going forward if Loeb frustrates you as a reader.

STOP BUYING HIS BOOKS! I've heard him in interviews. He might be a nice guy--don't know never met him--but what he THINKS he is is a guy who "knows what he's doing"... yes HE said this and he's confident that he's right. You know why he's right? Because his goddamn comics are always making TOP SALES for Marvel.

Please, make a promise to yourself and the community: Do not buy more Loeb stuff if you want this type of writing to stop. Borrow issues from a friend, read them in the store when you get a 5 minute breather (cause that's all it seems to take to read these books), hell, there are was to read these darn things without buying them, find out what those ways are and appease your curiosity THAT way. Just don't give Marvel the disillusion that high numbers of 90k sales = good stuff when Captain Britain gets cancelled at 17k numbers and is highly praised and acclaimed.

Just keep in mind, what the Big Two put out is based on what we, the fans, buy and support with our money. Please, just stop supporting this kinda stuff going forward. Sorry about the long rant... been a lurker for too long and just finished reading this issue and needed to explode my thoughts out here while crossing my fingers that it helps sway ANYONE to follow suit with similar thoughts.

March 6, 2009 7:17 pm This was definitely my pick of the week... even considering how much I am pumped about War of Kings... it still wins. You can not beat the price for the thickness. I picked this up on a whim and do not regret it one bit! Funny and entertaining--PULL!
