Yes -- plus they say that Firestorm 6 is IC-related. I don't know if that means that those of us who don't normally read Firestorm will get it or not.

  • Batman Gotham Knights #58
  • Firestorm #6
  • Identity Crisis #5 (Of 7)
  • Robin #131
  • Teen Titans #17
  • New X-Men #6
  • Official Handbook Marvel Universe Wolverine 2004 (maybe)
  • Uncanny X-Men #451

    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.

    Just Identity Crisis #5 and Ultimate Spiderman #67 for me.

    There is lots next week too.

    But my list was what Teppy said plus Manhunter and possibly Firestorm.

    Hey. New board.

    I picked up the first three issues of Rogue the other day, and actually enjoyed them quite a lot. Anybody else reading it? The first issue of Nightcrawler kinda stunk, though.

    Hmm. I just realized that the comics I'm reading regularly are Ultimate X-Men, Astounishing, and now Rogue. When did I turn into an X-Men fan and leave the Batverse behind?

    this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

    Possibly the same time I became a Batverse fan and left the Spideyverse behind.

    Teppy -- have you really left the Spideyverse behind? That's kind of sad.

    (Obviously, there is something the creates balance amongst fans of various comic-verses)

    Not in a "Spidey SUCKS!" kind of way; more of an Ultimate-Spidey-was-getting-too-navel-gazey-for-me way. And that was the only Spidey title I was reading. It's not that I'm not a Spidey fan, because he's my main man, yo. I'm just giving Ultimate a rest for now.

    "When I look at people that I would like to feel have been a mentor or an inspiring kind of archetype of what I'd love to see my career eventually be mentioned as a footnote for in the same paragraph, it would be, like, Bowie." ~Trent Reznor

    Ultimate titles lately have been enjoying the meta-references a bit much, making excuses to throw in imagery and such from the 616 Universe a bit liberally (prime example in UXM 52, with Jean's "third-grade Halloween costume" being identical to one of the classic Marvel Girl outfits from the 60s/70s).

    To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

    I picked up "Identity Crisis" #5 on the way to work.

    Gack. There is carnage. And how many things connect now confuse me more than ever.
