SUPERMAN #0
September 25, 2012 3:14 pm Rocafort art is the only reason I'm picking this up. Though I don't hate Lobdell's writing, him and Rocafort are a decent team.

August 20, 2012 10:12 pm Wait when did Volume 2 of this come out? My LCS checked a few months ago and he saw only volume 1 in Diamond systems. I call Shenanigans!

iFlashback! July 30th, 2003
July 30, 2012 5:34 pm It's a MAX title that has nothing to do with normal "616" Thor. Personally I think THOR: VIKINGS is the best story out there. It has art of what would actually happen if Thor hit someone with Mjolner.

What Event Fatigue?
April 16, 2012 2:48 pm Event fatigue is a like a myth, you'll have a core group of people always proclaiming the it exists, then another group claiming it doesn't exist. (Wow the comics as religions goes much further then just the characters as gods metaphor)
I think there are people more burned on the companies, or even having the feeling you need to buy separate comics to get a full story. I know I'm down to one Marvel comic, and only a few DC. I won't be buying the connecting titles for their little mini-events happening, Omega happening in Pushisher/DareDevil/Random Spidey comic as an example, but will still be buying Punisher.

Miles Morales Meets the Other Peter Parker in Marvel’s SPIDER-MEN
April 11, 2012 1:13 pm Except Marvel has had a multiverse of infinite amounts for a very long time (1976, shown in Captain Britain).
Ultimate universe is just one more verse in the Marvel U. Hell the Ultimate Line has been mixed up with the Hyperion reboot line before "Ultimate Supreme" crossover which took Nick Fury out of the universe for a bit. I'm also pretty sure the Ultimate U was seen in Exiles, the multiverse hopping team book.

Love Comics? Give Manga a Chance!
March 22, 2012 5:28 pm VIZ's version of Tenjou Tengje has been great. Non-censored versions, which I believe with volume 5 have gone past the anime version of the series.
