Re: New Avengers series discussion (spoilers) Maybe this should be in the Baseless Speculation department. What if Ronin was going to be DareDevil and then the response was so bad, Bendis backed off it? That's why Echo disappears so quickly at the end of the issue. She doesn't even come...

A few extra millions of years of evolution? I liked the issue. (It's good to be back to buying at the LCS and not on subscription. It makes it easier to participate when you get issue on time.) Each of these Millar arcs feels like they could be four issues a piece instead of three. But...

What if said person lived in the deep ocean where the water pressure is greater and would need stronger muscles to do ordinary tasks? Kind of an opposite of a human walking on the moon.

Re: Ultimate Iron Man? Just be ready to read "Speaker for the Dead" immediately after you read "Ender's Game." The ending of "EG" is fantastic.

Re: Ultimate Iron Man? I can see why that would bother you. I tend to think of comic book characters as mythical figures instead of representations of real people. Since this person never actually existed, there is no one "truth" about the way their life actually played out. They are...

Re: Ultimate Iron Man? I think it helps I read "Ender's Game" before I read this comic book series. It was much easier to adjust to OSC's style of characterization when I had more than 24 pages at a time. I like it, especially because the bad guys are sinister instead of evil. Evil is such...

It's okay. I was just having a disconnect.

I'd also like to say, I'm happy to see Millar on UF4. He has some F4 ideas which wouldn't work in 616 because they would disrupt too much. So, like his year on MK Spider-man, he gets this little tangent book to give them a go. It seems like a good set-up to me.

So the point is not that UF4 will sink the entire Ultimate chain (poor sales are likely the only thing which can do that) but that UF4 isn't a very good book because it's so unrealistic, right? I thought Fuzzy Birds was making a case about how UF4 would end up bringing down the Ultimate line...

What in all of that makes it "the nail in the coffin"?

It could be like a torpedo in that it only arms as it arrives in the proximity of the target. It's "phased" for the first whatever yards and then becomes solid.

Thanks. I finally had something to say.

Classic Quote! "There are only two of these guns in the world, homie, and I have the other one." It was cool to see the bullet go through the scope a la "Saving Private Ryan".
