Coming up in a couple of weeks or so, the Annual Free Comic Book Day. Sadly, I will be out of town this year, so I'll likely miss out on most of it (unless I can find a comic book store near where I'm staying in Portland, Oregon), but everyone else should take advantage of it and stop in to...

Just a friendly reminder that this is coming up in two weeks. List of comics planned for Free Comic Book Day.

So.... After much internal debate and reading of opinions around the Internet, I picked up Marvel Divas Issue #1 yesterday. Without giving too much away, the mini-series revolves around four of Marvel's super heroines: Patsy Walker (Hellcat), Felicia Hardy (Black Cat), Monica Rambeau...

Does anyone here read this series, or has anyone picked up and read any of the trades? One of the later TPBs was reviewed in a recent issue of Library Journal, and I was wondering how the series was as a whole. Also, is it necessary to read the trades in set order, or are they pretty much...

To E and any other guys here at Ultimate Central who are current or expectant dads: Happy Father's Day!

Ultimate Houde has mentioned an idea for a writing challenge that would be open to anyone. It's a kind of story called a Round Robin, where one person starts a story, then passes it to the next author, who adds to it and then passes it on to the next author, etc. The story can go as long as...

I'm probably going to be sorry I asked this, but.... Has anyone read issues of Top Cow's Magdalena? I stumbled across a couple references to it while researching another title. The premise sounds interesting, but based on the artwork I've seen, I'm guessing I'll have the same complaints...

My library system is offering a 16-week online course on Web Technology, and even though participation is voluntary, I thought I'd at least do the assignments dealing with topics I don't know much about yet. (RSS, downloading MP3 files, YouTube, etc.). This week we're starting a blog. The...

Similar to the "What Made You Smile?" thread over at the Captain Comics website, this is the place to note the positive things in our lives. You can post good things you saw, that someone did for you, or in which you were personally involved. It doesn't have to be something that happened the...

As a Youth Services Librarian, I receive occasional sample copies of these two publications. Basically, each features half a dozen installments of on-going manga series. Shojo Beat is apparently aimed at girls, and Shonen Jump at boys. (For example, I have a copy of Shojo Beat that features...

Confused, UC By Seldes Katne Seldes Katne printed the last of her agenda items on the list and scanned the room full of Ultimate Central authors. Beside her, Ice jotted notes to himself for his next chapter of Essential X-Men; on the other side, Project X2 turned a page in the latest...

As an experiment, I'm going to start this thread as a place for writers to toss out ideas or ask for help with their fanfics. Now, if you have a substantial amount of work already done that needs to be posted, feel free to start your own "My Story: I Need Feedback Before I Start Posting"...

I'm in the process of weeding and ordering for my Young Adult area, including the graphic novels. We have a lot of Marvel, but only a few DC titles. I'd like to balance it out a little more. I don't read DC, so I'm looking for suggestions for good trades featuring DC characters. What we have...

Ultimates: Tomorrow Men, by Jan Michael Friedman was mentioned on a thread over at the Comic Book Resources site. Tomorrow Men is a novel, not a comic title, and I've found several solicitations for it, but nothing more than the synposis. Here are a few samples: Tomorrow Men at Amazon.com...

For authors and movie directors who have projects they plan to post on the boards. Give us the title, summary and expected date of publication (even if it's only something like "early Feburary"). Also, please only post one solicitation per story chapter/movie. I'd appreciate it if...

Index for the Ultimate Central Fanfiction Section (updated 3/6/08 ) As the Fanfiction section here at UC continues to grow, I thought it would be a good idea to start indexing the stories to make it easier to find things. I don’t know how long it will be before even this gets too...

I don't remember seeing this discussed anywhere on the boards, but if it has, someone please point me to it. Has anyone seen any kind of background information on Hawkeye's children? I'm aware of Natasha's comment that he calls them before each mission, and I think we see them pictured in a...

Since this is a fairly short story, I decided to just post the whole thing at once. It's about 11 typed pages. A couple of things to get out of the way first: Summary: As the Sentinel robots attack New York City, Daily Bugle reporter Ben Urich assembles eyewitness accounts of a mutant...
