Exactly! Thanks wyokid. Daredevil Yellow is probably my favourite Daredevil run, right after Brubaker's the Devil in Cell Block D.

The only things in there that I liked were Fallen Son and Spider-Man Blue (which, as a concession, is one of my favourite comic stories of all time). Daredevil Yellow was Spider-Man Blue all over again and didn't feel very Daredevilish IMO. Long Halloween and Dark Victory are so overrated it's not funny. Long Halloween is a mess of a story. It doesn't even make sense. If it wasn't about Batman's early years and if Tim Sale hadn't been the artist, no one would care. All of his ultimate stuff is awful.
I honestly think that Loeb got famous doing Batman b/c it's Batman and Tim Sale is awesome. Stories like the colour series and Fallen Son are okay/good b/c he wasn't allowed to do whatever he wanted and was reigned in by the editorial staff and restrained by the continuity in which he was trying to work. And even there he messed up the chronology in Spider-Man Blue.
I'm not trying to be rude. And I'm sorry if I'm coming across as rude. You're allowed to like Loeb's stuff. And clearly you aren't alone b/c a lot of his stuff is famous. But I really don't care for him as a comic writer.

If you don't like Batman/The Spirit then you are wrong. That's my favorite Batman story.

I actually haven't read that one, so you may be absolutely correct. The important thing is that I'm not wrong.

I have a confession to make, Iceman is also my favorite X-Men. Always has been ever since I saw Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends before I started reading comics.
It's fantastic! Darwyn Cooke did the art
Also you are wrong, the Marvel color series are ooc so there are no continuity problems

Ah. Explains a lot.

That's true, but his more recent stuff (specifically Ultimates 3) show he may have had some moments of clarity when writing his good stuff, but those moments of talent seem to have escaped him in more recent years.
Some of those are good stories. Some are mediocre. And didn't Bendis write Ultimate Power? Either way that one was embarrassingly bad. Ultimate X and New Ultimates weren't terrible, but I really don't see how you can prefer New Ultimates to Millar's Ultimates 1 or 2, or even some of Bendis' early USM, or Vaughan's UXM... There are so many better Ultimate stories than New Ultimates.

Nova and Avengers: X-Sanction says otherwise. For the most part his Hulk run was excellent too (at least for me it was). The X-Force arc was really bad though.
The Ultimates and The Ultimates 2 are my The Amazing Spider-Man of comics. I LOATHE them. I never said that New Ultimates was the best Ultimate Marvel story, I said it was the best Ultimates story. Also Ultimate Power #1-3 was by Bendis, #4-6 by JMS, and #7-9 by Jeph Loeb. #7-9 has some of my favorite comic moments ever including my all time favorite Ultimate Thor moment.

Nova by Loeb was ok at best. It got A LOT better when he left. And Avengers: X-Sanction was completely terrible.

Sorry guys, my second account has taken a life of its own. I'll shut it down for good.

YES!
I was just telling E last night to check it out. It was so fun and beautiful. Especially the coloring.
I just started reading X-Statix for no real reason other than I was able to get a copy of the entire series, and it's pretty, pretty good. It's a little messy as far as the writing goes but after about 12 issues it seems to be getting better. Allred's art is, as always, really great.
