Well, I've heard raving things about Marvel Zombies, which I guess I'll be buying at some point. Kirkman doesn't suck, mind you, but his Ultimate X-Men has been mediocre thus far. As for Joss Whedon, I too collect Astonishing X-Men. There are definitely some great moments, but I agree with you, it's a tad overhyped. You got me thinking that I may need to drop that too. I really didn't dig that "Danger Room" arc, and "Year 2" is not looking all that super. --Previous Message-- : Does Kirkman do any good books? I know the : writer has some sort of following but I only : started collecting again this past February. : I was figuring people were putting up with : the drek I was reading for the same reason : they do Astonishing X-Men (namely that with : Wedon they know he's capable of so much : better and they're afraid that if they miss : an issue they'll miss the one installment : that actually lived up to expectations) : : --Previous Message-- : I've kept on buying this title through the : good and the bad. But I've finally decided : to drop it. : : Millar --> 10/10 : Bendis --> 7/10 : Vaughn --> 4/10 : Kirkman --> 6/10 : : So basically, starting from issue 34, none : of the Ultimate X-Men stories have been that : great really. The only reason why I rated : Bendis so high was because of Finch's art. : : Kirkman has some great ideas, but so far is : doing the Bendis thing, with nothing : materializing. I like some of the ideas he : introduced. But so far, he's just introduced : them and... nothing. : : This will be the first Ultimate title I will : be dropping. I was debating Ultimate : Spider-Man too, but kept going for : completeness. Recently though, the Blade and : Clone story arcs have not been that bad. So : I'll hang on for another year or so. : : : : : : :
