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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

There's a worldwide threat that both Nick Fury and Professor X mobilise their teams for. I think it's supposed to affect other Ultimate bookschange the universe forever!

I'm picking up Ultimate Nightmare to get my Ultimates fix in, since Millar and Hitch can't seem to get their acts together on a monthly basis. (I think Hitch may be the main culprit there).

Look at this! Not a single tarantula in sight.
(It's next week's NW cover -- in case you don't want to be spoiled.)

It looks weirdly video-gamey.

I may have to pick that up, then.

They put Ultimate Wolvie in anything, and my comic book store guy knows I'll buy it, however much I shriek the week before.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I flipped through Ultimate Nightmare. I couldn't figure out what the fuck was going on. It's pretty much a set-up issue.
I also checked out UXM #50, since I didn't realize Vaughan was writing, and it was the first in a series. It was pretty good, and dude, Gambit! Except he's evil.
The 12-Cent Adventure was expositionalicious, which was actually pretty good for me, who hadn't been reading the main titles but had picked up general events from this thread. When did Spoiler get fired? Why? I think I read the issue where she donned the costume for the first time, and that was only like last month or so. And why did Tim quit? And what's happening in the title if there is no Robin?
Also, am I supposed to be familiar with all the warring gangs? Like this Galante fellow? And the chick who comes back to take out the Escabos? And who's Orpheus?
Well, "War Games" looks good so far. Let's see how much more shit they can blow up.

PC, I recognized some of the gang leaders -- but not all of them and I have no idea who Orpheus is and why he is working for Batman.
Steph got fired because she disobeyed Batman's direct order. Tim quit because his father found out he was Robin. Ummm, I don't know how he found out but based on 12-Cent -- it looks as though Steph may have told him. Plus it looks like Tim was okay with Robin/Spoiler but not Tim/Steph -- I don't know what's up with that -- or did he not know that she was the Spoiler? And that she knew that he was Robin?
Did you get Detective Comics?
