Uh...I guess this is a public service announcement.

"Ultimate Spider-Man" is really good.

Core Concept

The Maker has remade a world with no heroes for his evil cabal to rule over.

Iron Lad sent a series of time machine gift bags to people who would have been heroes - including Peter Parker - giving them the option to bootstrap their life to their former heroic destiny.

This subverts my expectations, while offering new insights into established characters.

Detailed spoilers

J. Jonah Jameson is a better man with Ben Parker alive to mentor him
Harry Osborn is probably either batshit crazy or destined to be the greatest bromance in Peter's life...and maybe both.
Peter and MJs kids are adorable and perfect.
The comic completely fails to address how this version of Peter got his webbing, and the suit that Iron Lad provided is capable of an awfut lot of Venom's abilities...Might Iron Lad have cut a dangerous corner in his desperation?

A place to discuss comic books of all types, from old to new, Big 2 to indie, and everything in between.

Floppies, graphic novels, compilations, omnibusses (omnibusi?) are all fair game.

There is only one rule:*

Comic Books is a no judgement zone.

You can talk all you want about how Rob Liefeld is trash, Bob Kane is an asshole, or Frank Miller and Dave Sim’s politics have made them toxic, that’s all good.

If, however, another user is LEGITIMATELY a fan of something you don’t like, that does NOT make them a lesser person. Attack the art for being bad, not the person for being a fan of bad art.

* I lied. There are TWO rules... No piracy. Cover shots? That's good. Interior pages, in moderation? Sure. Full books? Links to pirate sites? That's how we get things shut down. :(

I'm not saying it's been a problem, because it hasn't been.
