So, I haven't read through all 68 pages of this thread, but I just wanted to ask, has anyone else read and enjoyed "Lady Mechanika" ?
I recently went up to a comic shop, saw #3, and have ordered the previous ones earlier today.

I Like Comics is the store I get my comics at. I was sad to miss out on the whole Hullabaloo for Karl Kesel since Kurt Busiek was there and he's possibly one of my favorite writers. It's a good store, the first I ever went to that didn't give me a blank look when I asked if he could get one of the lesser known comics I seem to want (this time being Xombi and he didn't mention zombies once when we talked about it).

I've recently been able to catch up on the new Ultimate Spider-Man and must say it is a lot of fun, a good read, and highly recommended.
Unfortunately, it looks as if it is also about to begin tying in closer to the absolutely F'd up Ultimate storyline of a completely screwed up USA, so not sure how much longer the good times will continue.
Still, I recommend the new series up until now for certain and conditionally going forward!

I feel like pre-Ultimatum Spider-Man was the best followed by X-Men then Ultimates. Now I feel like it's in revese order. I still like Spider-Man but it is really slow paced. I like comics that take their time unlike the new Justice League but this is a little too slow actually. So I'm glad he'll be getting involved in the Ultimate America of horribleness. Things are looking up, the Union has brought that rebellious Texas to heel....again. Third time's the charm Texas...

Ok, it's not like I said "USM sucks" or something like that.
Anyways, reading Anihilation: Conquest right now. It's about Marvel's version of The Borg, The Phalanx (not sure which came first actually). ....I'll wait until Alpharius posts his opinion on it before chiming in.

Technically the Borg, though they are themselves a thinly-veiled knock-off of Doctor Who's Cybermen.

Didn't realize Fantastic Four and FF had split into two different titles. Anyone reading these? What's up with "FF"? Think the new #1s will be a good jumping on point?

I recently got an Ipad for a wedding gift and the first thing I did was start reading comics again. I have prolly read about 100 comics or more in the first two weeks of owning it. I really missed them in my life. Its funny how I went straight for all the old comics I used to own instead of looking for new ones. I used to be a huge sucker for Dark Horse back in the day, glad to see that they are still around. I did read the first 4 issues of the Doctor Who/ Star Trek crossover, Its pretty good so far.

X-Men characters dying really doesn't count as news; by the time it's out in TPB he'll have been resurrected. (I almost typed "back on his feet" which would have been unintentionally tasteless.)
News would be "Shocker! Deceased X-Man fails to return from grave!".

Welcome to February/March 2011!
Future Foundation is a fictional organization appearing in comics published by Marvel Comics. Created by writer Jonathan Hickman, the team first appeared in Fantastic Four #579 (July 2010) and stars in the series FF, written by Hickman and illustrated by Steve Epting. The Future Foundation is a philanthropic organization created by Mister Fantastic to better serve humanity's future. It was revealed in September 2011 that the focus of the series would shift to the children as of #12 (November 2011), while the founding members would return to Fantastic Four - which will begin again with #600 (November 2011).
I think the switch the " FF" occurred after the 'death' of Johnny Storm.
It is actually a decent little book, sort of a weird and wacky science team of youngsters from all over, doing impressive things.
But, sadly, with the relaunch (don't you dare say reboot!) of the Marvel Universe, it will become a team consisting of:
She-Hulk
Ant-Man
Miss Thing
Medusa
So, probably not as good...

Aside from that monstrosity Miss Thing, it isn't a bad line-up. Their costumes are hideous, however. So much for these titles being on the cutting edge of design. Does Marvel NOW look kind of cheap to anyone else?

It does to me too - very cheap indeed.
Not often that a cheap marketing ploy ends up looking like one, especially not one from Marvel!
And Miss Thing is a woman in a... Thing suit?
Huh?

Each member of the original Fantastic Four was tasked with selecting a hero to join titular Future Foundation, with the Human Torch recruiting Miss Thing.
"Johnny spaces it because he's Johnny. He chooses the Lohan-esque celebutante blonde he just happens to be with the night before he and his teammates leave," writer Matt Fraction told USA Today.
"She's the regular person, she's the human, she's the overwhelmed 'Whaaa?' of it all."
From here.
This could be a meme: "Blame Johnny Storm"

Just got done rereading "Batman: R.I.P."
I love the way Morrison/Daniel tied together Bruce/Batman's life together with the whole "Zur En Arrh" subconscious angle.
I actually had never noticed it until this reread, but...the theater where he interrogates (with prejudice) Caligula is the one where his parents were murdered. The marquee even still says "NOW SHOWING: The Mask of Zorro", albeit with a lot of missing letters.

Well, at least I'm only 10 months behind on news...
Ya, I was talking the new #1s being a jumping on point not the old ones. Can't say that line-up is very interesting. Is that the Future Foundation now? What happened to the kids?
