About all that's new for me today is Ultimate Spidey #61.
I read BoP #67, and I think I jumped in at a bad point, because all it really did was confuse the hell out of me, so I'm not very inclined to continue. Advice?
And I need to pick up IC #1.
Now hold on, I'm gonna press the right pedal harder. I expect us to accelerate.

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.

Same here.
Next week is Astonishing X-Men #2, I believe.

Because, D00d -- Carnage!
Did you see the order form in the back of #60, where you can get a bunch of Marvel titles -- including Ultimate Spidey AND Astounishing X-Men -- for 50% off? The only thing that irritates me is you have to call or mail it in; the discount doesn't work on their website.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Ooh, Carnage has arrived? Fun. Hey, has he done Venom yet?

Venom is pretty early in the run of Ultimate Spidey, so if you're reading through them in order, you should get to Venom soon.
I remember the first appearance of Carnage, way way WAY back in the day, when my brother and I were freaked way the hell out, and couldn't WAIT for the next issue. Same with Kraven's Last Hunt.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Today: GC, GK, BoP, Outsiders.

amych, talk to me about BoP. Was #67 just a bad place for me to jump in? Should I give #68 a shot?

Thrive to spite them
I didn't get the last issue of GCPD and I can't find it because it's sold out. It's been really frustrating but because it's my birthday maybe I will luck out.

Cool. I finished the first trade. I liked it. One thing I found interesting was the Afterword, in which he said they made up Uncle Ben specifically to give Spidey his motivation for being a super hero. I thought I remembered Uncle Ben from the animated series. Was he not part of the original origin story?

Heh. My "back in the day" is the animated series. And the game Maximum Carnage. Oh, and he's also in the PlayStation Spidey game, which was pretty great.

Were they specifically referring to Ultimate? Or did they just mean in general?
My "back in the day" is the animated series.
