    Civil War: Fallen Son (Discussion/SPOILERS!!)

    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...

    Ultimate X-Men #77 Discussion (Spoilers!)

    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.

    UFF Millar and Beyond: Should I Come Back?

    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...

    UFF Millar and Beyond: Should I Come Back?

    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...

    Ultimate Solicitations for February, 2007

    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...

    PopCultureShock previews Ultimate X-Men #76, more

    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...

    Wolverine - series discussion (spoilers)

    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...

    The new TPB/HC thread

    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...

    Kirkman shows off sketches from Ultimate X-Men #73

    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...

    Kirkman shows off sketches from Ultimate X-Men #73

    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...

    Kirkman shows off sketches from Ultimate X-Men #73

    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...

    Kirkman shows off sketches from Ultimate X-Men #73

    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...

    New Canadian comic prices.

    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.

    New Canadian comic prices.

    It was 3.25 when your price was 2.50. When the 2.50 price went up to 2.99, we jumped to 4.25 which is off-base with the exchange rate. So now we have been brought back in line with the current exchange rate conversion.

    New Canadian comic prices.

    It's close to 90 cents on the dollar. Expect Canada to be on par with the US within 5 years. This is all to the good. We are still paying more than our US counterparts but it's definitely much more of a fair price. Why is it that i'm sensing some unfriendly eyes pointing at Canada? Or is...

    New Canadian comic prices.

    Canadians have been getting the short stick on the USD-->CAD exchange rate for a long time now. This really does make me very happy to see as I can now afford a few more titles now... Essentially, the original prices are figured at 60 cents to your 1USD. It's more like 85 cents to your 1USD...

    Ultimate Spider-Man #96 (Spoilers)

    I believe that Rice's vampires do not have this particular skill/ability. Personally, Anne Rice's interpretation of vampires is the best I've ever encountered. In so many ways, it's realistic when considering what a Vampire is... an immortal human with a thirst for blood, some additional...
