Anyone reading Ultra? I picked up the first two issues yesterday and it's pretty compelling so far. It borrows quite a bit from Powers, particularly the Little Deaths arc.

Speaking of Powers: Miracle Man, I just got the original art of the 2-page scene of the autopsy of Retro Girl in the mail today. You have to come over and check it out!

Mmm. The fourth issue of Serenity Rose was sure good.

I'm very happy to be back in a place with a good comic store. I'll be able to read this thread again!

I finnaly got to read the new Astounishing, and I absolutely *loved* the panel where Logan, Hank and Emma first see Colossus. Oh man. The looks on their faces were priceless. The bit back at the school, with the kid who was "cured" was pretty moving, as was Peter and kitty's conversation. The whole thing felt very Jossy, moreso even than earlier issues. I think it was something about the timing on the jokes, combined with the angst.

What Holli said on Astounishing.

How long is Joss' run? Why am I seriously worried that he's been given orders to leave it hanging to keep people buying the title?

I think it's 12 issues.

I want more than 12 issues! Damn him, what else is he going to do?

I think it's 12 issues.

Cool, 'cause there was a thing on the letters page about "Concluding Issue 6" or some such.

Am I right that it's a new title that will go on after his run?

Maybe this arc is concluding in Issue #6 and a new one is starting in #7.

I don't know if this title is continuing after this.

There's definitely a trade coming out with the first six issues, right? Seems likely that they'll make it arcy then do something new for the last six. That's how the Ultimates work - arcs for 5-6 issues, and a trade for each arc.

Well, I'm sure if the sales are good and Joss wants to keep doing it, Marvel will sign him on for more issues.
