Re: Civil War: Fallen Son (SPOILERS!!) I understood that there wasn't an unknown shooter. The shooter was Crossbones at the request of Red Skull... which would fit into the flow of that particular title... Sharon Carter fired the finishing two gut shots. (Captain America is one of Marvel's...

Re: Ultimate X-men #77 Preview oh maybe but that's a stretch...

Re: Ultimate X-men #77 Preview WARNING: do NOT read the new solicitation for Ultimate X-men 80 unless you want to have the ending of this arc spoiled... Marvel blew it with the solicitation and make it clear who bites it.

The only reason that I thought to compare Ellis's run with Carey's run is that both are dealing with science fiction / fantasy based stories and the tone is similar. (Science Fiction and Fantasy are in the same shelf space for a reason as they tend to overlap alot -- it's hard to know which is...

I would say that if you liked Ellis on the N-Zone arc, then this is a good read. It's heavy science fiction and a little more complex of a story than Millar's run was. I think that Millar was going for a straight arrow story that was a lot of fun and "fantastic" where as Carey is going for the...

Re: Ultimate Solicitations for February, 2007. Where's Ultimate Power? It's been off the solicitation list since issue 3 from December... Rest looks like a lot of fun. I'm especially liking where Carey has been taking the UFF. USM has been a little dicey. UXM has been great. Looking...

Could you tell me again why some of you even bother to read the ultimate stories? Wow. The negativity here is oftentimes depressing... If you say it sucks, I want to hear about what might be an alternative that is an improvement. Just saying it sucks is lazy and lame... It looks like...

pm sent.

I'm afraid that this new team (Marc Guggnheim (Writer) and Humbert Ramos (Penciler)) lost me the moment they burned Wolverine down to his bones and he got back up from it... First of all, it's strategically dumb for a guy who has to be within arms length to attempt to take out a villian who's...

So, out of curiousity, a few questions. 1. how many of you buy the regular issues as they come out only to purchase the TPB when it finally comes out? 2. Do you sell off your singles on Ebay and put that amount towards the TPB? 2a. OR do you just keep both? 2b. OR do you...

Fair enough. I was a little sharp in my reply. Not really intended. I have been getting the feeling from the way Kirkman answers interview questions that he's spinning a more complex tale. I don't know how the magician fits into it all but I suspect that he's really just a side story...

Just thought i would respectfully point out that that isn't Storm. Looks like Rogue to me, red eyes and all. And Magician has nothing to do with the Phoenix storyline at all. These are not connected. What we have here are multiple stories going on at once, a la the good old days when the...

Re: Sketches from Ultimate X-Men #73 I speculate (because i've never done it myself) that the x's serve a few purposes. One has to do with perspective and placement because the writer has indicated where certain things are to go. Such as text bubbles. Two has to do with telling the inker...

Re: Sketches from Ultimate X-Men #73 THE best thing about the ultimate universe is Nick Fury and how he is tied into it all. It's such a great character and helps bring all of the books together under the same banner. This is currently missing from the 616 universe. I'm glad to see that the...

Figured. That's how I decided to take it. So hard to tell online sometimes... but getting all heated about such things online is also pointless and usually misguided.
