I won some Miracleman comics on eBay yesterday for what seems like a fair price. Did I do good?
They were priced at $10 an issue at the comics store I was at today.

Thrive to spite them
When I was waiting in line to get my ticket for Starsky & Hutch I saw a flyer "Two Lois Lanes together at last!!" Of course I had to check that out.
Turns out on June 26 there's going to be a comic/collectibles show and Margot Kidder and the woman who played Lois at some point earlier but now I can't remember what it said ( there was a black and white picture of her and Superman so I'm thinking the original movies or series) will be together for the first time!!!! (their exclamation points).
It's $6 to get in so I guess I have until then to decide if I want to go to that.

Yikes! Of course, once I read the first nine, I'm going to have to pay premium prices to get the rest. Crickey, it really is just like drugs (the first nine are free...).

The other one is probably Noel Neill, though I'm surprised they haven't appeared together before. Then again, who cares!

One question about Powers #5 --Why is Christian Walker a blond
I wondered that myself. Is he a natural blond? I find it hard to believe he dyes his hair. Plus as a blond, he looked just like Scott Peterson after he dyed his hair. It creeped me a bit.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
I read issues #0.5 to #57 of Ultimate Spiderman over the weekend. (I was browsing that explodey star site and saw they had it, Ultimate X-Men and The Ultimates available so I figured why the hell not. Didn't see any Nightwing, though. If they had I would have downloaded that too after the rave reviews on this board.) It's really, really good. Not super-deep or anything, but incredibly entertaining.
I've never been a big comics reader, but Spidey was my favorite superhero growing up. I love the writing and the artwork (though my initial reaction to skinny big-head Spiderman was "What the hell?" But once I realized that they had him as a scrawny 15 year-old again I went "Oh. Okay, that makes sense.") and while some of the changes took a bit of getting used to (Ben and May were hippies. Peter and MJ dating in highschool.) I like where they went with a lot of the choices. It's an interesting mix of the familiar and something new.
The brief X-Men crossover is a lot of fun, though I'm not a big fan of the black leather and bare midriff look that most of the female X-Men have adopted. But I realize that's just personal preference. My only real complaint is Spidey is obviously doing stuff in other books (there's references to him meeting Daredevil, Wolverine and the Hulk) but it doesn't say which books and when. I guess Marvel simply assumes the reader is reading all of the Ultimate books at once. Huh. Regardless, I'm going to pick up the USM TPBs when I have money for frivalties again.
I also read The Ultimates 1-12 last night (which was all that was available for download.) It was okay, I guess. A lot of the characters make me want to smack them around, which isn't really what I look for in my entertainment. I mean, Fury's great and I love that Cap is this great mix of Mr. Virtue and no-nonsense soldier. He has high ideals, but isn't afraid to get his hands dirty. Thor being an eco-crusader is an interesting change. Stark's amusing, but there doesn't seem to be much behind the billionaire playboy boozehound with neat toys thus far. The Pyms, Bettie Ross and Banner, on the other hand, need to be smacked silly in a serious way. Especially Banner.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Yes, this.
