hangingfire, I now have read all of the new X-Force 1. This combines the worst artist in the history of mainstream comics (Rob Liefeld) with the worst writer in the history of mainstream comics (Fabien Nicieza, who makes early Ron Marz look like Neil Gaiman). It's just as bad as it sounds.
Then, yesterday's USA Today announced that Marvel had signed a deal for a direct-to-video version of the Avengers. Nothing wrong with that, except for the line they used to announce it:
The first title in the eight- to 10-picture deal is The Avengers, based on the top-selling comic book series The Ultimates and due on DVD in 2006.
Um, say what?
