With all of the (deserved) hate the Ultimate line got during and after Ultimatum, and the DC New 52, it’s…

This was the pick of the week for me so far. I am very surprised since I really only picked…

February 7, 2012 9:18 am If this were a Top 6 list, you'd need Bendis in there (Undeservedly so), but pretty much, yeah. Spot on.
January 24, 2012 11:14 am No Mantis? Really??? People love Mantis? And I'm sorry, but Hank Pym is one of the best Avengers because he's one of the most human and flawed. They threw Hawkeye's flaws in your face, but that was just to make him more endearing. Hank has baggage that he's always trying to redeem. And I agree. He's eventually gotta go Ultimate Reed/Onslaught on everyone.
January 24, 2012 11:10 am Ugh. Gilgamesh.
January 24, 2012 11:08 am Agreed x10! Jack of Hearts was one of the most interesting Avengers, especially during the Avengers Disassembled era!
January 24, 2012 11:05 am D-Man is actually "Demolition Man" shortened later to D-Man. And yeah, probably the lamest.
January 19, 2012 11:00 am I dunno. I think you're burnt out on the things you mentioned. You just gotta clear your head of negative preconceived notions and try out some of the highly regarded comics Marvel makes. They're out there making really good titles. You just gotta find them. The one criticism I disagree most with is the Architect comment. While I don't care about the "Architect" branding, I buy most of my comics based on the writer. I almost never go wrong with Hickman, Brubaker, Waid, Rucka, Johns, Snyder, Azzarello, Simone, and on titles where he's revitalizing individual characters or building them from scratch, Bendis. And Fraction, Remender, and Aaron are making building some serious credibility outside on individual titles.
January 19, 2012 10:54 am @TheGoddamnDeadpool Somehow, you nailed your list nearly perfectly in my opinion. I'd also add Cap and Bucky, and Battle Scars. Nice to find a kindred spirit :-)
January 18, 2012 11:30 am No mention of the Charlton Comics version of Captain Atom or that he was the basis for Captain Manhattan in The Watchmen, and is now essentially becoming Captain Manhattan in JT Krul's version? http://splashpage.mtv.com/2009/03/04/before-they-were-watchmen-the-charlton-comics-characters-who-became-dr-manhattan-ozymandias/
January 6, 2012 4:03 pm Marvel! Don't you dare even pretend Capcom isn't sitting in the corner with folded hands chuckling quietly!
