Speaking of Ultimate -- did you read the Ultimates annual? I really like Ultimate!Fury. Not to like hang out with, or anything. But he's one cold son of a bitch. Also interested in seeing where they go with the arms race thing.
Angel: How're you feeling? Faith: Like I did mushrooms and got eaten by a bear.

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

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.
Afraid not. The original Ultimates series turned me off too much. I absolutely hated the Ultimate version of the Pyms, Bruce Banner and Betsy Ross and reading about them was just painful (Though I did like Fury and Cap) so I didn't bother picking up any of the second series.

From earlier:
What are your five desert island comics?
Hmmm.... Only five, huh? And everybody's already given so many great suggestions.
- Cerebus
- Grendel
- Sandman
- Powers
Man, filling that fifth slot on the list is hard, there are many competitors for it. I think I might have to go with one Hec suggested and say....
- Nexus

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Huh. Given that Sean has 4 of my top 5, I guess I'm'a have to read Grendel.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Speaking of Powers, has there been an issue recently? It seems like it's been awhile.

Oh yeah. Matt Wagner. Old Dark Horse Comic that started as backup stories in the original Mage: The Hero Discovered and developed into its own tale. The TPB Devil by the Deed collects those stories, and the TPBs Devil's Legacy, and Devil Inside collect the first few issues of its beginning run for Dark Horse. I don't know if they ever eventually released any TPBs of the rest of the run, or how hard any of them are to get ahold of.

Oh, also....
For Batfans, there are two different Batman/Grendel crossovers, written and drawn by Matt Wagner, and they're both very good.

With any luck, the boy may have them in, umm, box #37-plus-or-minus-twelve. I know I know the title; I've just never gotten to it.
