Ultimate

Lately I find myself more interested in Marvels Ultimate universe then their original universe. Ultimate Iron Man looks like fun.

Latest Heritage Win

Not high dollar, but based on the description I can't wait to see it.

"Witzend #2 (Wally Wood, 1967) Condition: FN. "Can a society that has absorbed the bomb, LSD, and wax apples take Witzend 2 too?" We can't answer that, but here's a copy of the second issue of Wally Wood's celebrated fanzine, Witzend, with incredible story and art from Gray Morrow, Bill Elder, Frank Frazetta, Reed Crandall, Harvey Kurtzman, Steve Ditko, and Wood himself. Wonderful stuff. Not listed in Overstreet Price Guide."

Love Him Or Hate Him

There seems to be only two types of people when it comes to Magnus, Robot Fighter. The people that love him, and the people that hate him. I'm in the later group, but whatever floats your boat.......

Completely Off Topic.....

....but I don't care. I strongly urge you to read about Paul Smith and the actions he took in Iraq to earn our countries highest military award, the Medal of Honor.

Evil Dead 4

"This is the project I really want to make. The remake can belong to someone else, but part 4 will be a continuation of the original". Ted and Sam Raimi have begun writing Part 4, and will be developing it for production later this year. Bruce Campbell and Tapert will both be involved.

Ditko and Kirby

I'd like to personally thank Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko for inventing the early heroes of the Marvel universe. I think there there was some other guy involved in the process, but I forgot his name......

Do The Math

7.3 days per page (21 months for 154 pages). Twenty one months from the release of issue #1 of NYX to it's final issue, #7. That's assuming Marvel sticks to it's latest time line.

I bailed out a couple of months ago and sold my copies of the first three issues for $45.

It seems that the bad guys are getting desperate.

So-called U.S. hostage appears to be toy
