January 31, 2012 3:18 pm I jumped on w/ 678. My son and I are loving Ultimate Spiderman, and I can say we both are loving this as well. He's really excited to see what happens in this, and I can't disagree. Loved issue 678, thinking of downloading some of the digital collections Marvel just released of this series.
January 25, 2012 2:34 pm what RoiVampire said ... I had to log into the Marvel app ... purchase there, then it's available in your comixology apps ... stupid, yes, but it is available digitally, just a round about way. Same thing happened w/ Scarlet Spider last week, had to purchase it in the Marvel app ... still not showing in the comixology app for sale. Very stupid and odd.
December 20, 2011 12:57 pm Indeed it was a great year. 2011 is the year I returned to comics after being away since the mid-90s. I haven't even thought about picking up a comic book until I found myself in the Local Comic Shop back in June looking for a gift for my son. The new Ultimate Comics series' from Marvel and the new52 from DC were a perfect storm of 'right place, right time.' I hopped in and haven't looked back. I've fully enjoyed Animal Man, and Swamp Thing. Two Stories I only picked up because my local shop had the no.1s of those two for only $1. They have both been excellent! I did not expect to enjoy these two as much as I thoroughly have! I picked up Ultimate X-Men, intrigued by the story, which led to me picking up Ultimates. This all started because I was looking for a trade to give my son as a gift. It took me all year to find the perfect book to share w/ my son ... all these Ultimate Comics stories led me to finally give the new Spiderman a try. My son and I have really enjoyed this story so far, and can't wait to see where this story goes. On a whim, I picked up Last of the Greats. I have never enjoyed a book as much as this monthly. Excellent story telling, and humor wrapped up in a nice dark package w/ some beautiful art. It's been a great year. Only problem has been there are far too many excellent books, and my budget is far too little. :)
