I wish. Too many bills to worry about.

I recently read the last 8 or 9 issues of Ultimate Spider-man, and I have to say, it was good stuff imo. It's probably tied to the addition of Stuart Immonen to the book, who I am an absolute fan of and love his art (his style for this book is stellar btw), but Bendis is writing much better here.

I think it's hilarious that grown men came up with something called "Dark Wolverine."

Wait, Wolverine has a son?

Yep. He's a badass Japanese punk rock ninja with Wolverine claws. Who was chosen by Norman Osborne to become - DARK WOLVERINE!!!

Hahaha WTF, X-Men comics suck so much.

Yeah, plus naming books Ultimate Comics <character name> is beyond stupid.

Overall all, it might be a good thing in that most of the line had turned to shit, so this provides a chance for Marvel to get its act together somewhat, make the Ultimate line better quality again. For the most part, because Jeph Loeb will still be involved writing New Ultimates or whatever it's going to be called. They should call it Waste of Frank Cho instead.

Ultimate Spider-man is going to keep on chugging, although the new series artist is ... interesting. Lafuente I think his name is, he did the art for the recent Annual (which I also read). He makes the book more reader-friendly to girls and younger readers, I guess, so one wonders if it doesn't affect the book any.

Man, now I'm sorry I called out the Flash. This is much worse.

And I actually gave Wolverine Origins a chance back when it started. But not even Steve Dillon could save it.

Steve Dillon is pretty much the last person I would want drawing Wolverine.
