I will buy "1985", but I need more to buy into Marvel. BMB has now left DD, that may stop smelling like last years fish taco. Millar is better and will be back in May/June. I don't want deep social commentary from X-Men or Iron Man. I read books like Ex Machina, Arsenic Lullaby and Seven Days to Fame for that. I want POW, BAM and SKNITT from the spandex folks. I will give it a try in TPB, maybe. Until Shooter is writing Avengers, make mine DC! God bless Stan Lee.

I'll cetainly buy 1985 and political commentary aside I enjoy the hell out of the Ultimates. New Avengers still has my interest but it is waning quickly. I don't trust Civil War after that House of M shit. Though Son of M is pretty good.

I've lost faith with pretty much every comic of later, except for a couple.
I've had my issues with DC since they retconned the John Byrne revamp almost entirely out of Superman with Birthright, and with House of M and Marvel, then...just ick.

Though I'm not a huge follower of Spiderman I think Joe Q is about to ruin the character.

What you say Xanth? This as bad as Ben Riley and the clone saga?

This is not as bad as the clone saga. The costume is not meant to be a permanent change. His original costume will come back 2007. I would love if they incorporated some of the features of the new costume into his old design like the eye pieces, and the body armor. The three extra appendages is stupid. For Peter Parker being a brillant mind his web formula has been the onely thing to have changed since the 70's.
I'm not thrilled with the new story line as a whole. There is the occasional bright spot. This Peter Parker is not the one Spider-man fans love. He is too serious most of the time, and not as care free as we were used to seeing him. The Ultimate Spider-man title is more what the character should be like. I know Bendis has gone wild killing people and making large jumps, but he captures the essence of Spider-man; A good person, who has alot of bad luck. For every long running title you have some down times. I think STRACZYNSKI is a good writer, but not for Amazing Spider-man. Though there have been others who have been much worse. I think Straczynski should write an original character that he would have free rein to develop and not have to worry about established origins. The new bullet concept seems intriguing though.

Agreed JMS hould write sweeping SciFi sagas. I feel his FF run will be good.
