I spend a lot of time and money buying and reading comics. Most of the time I'm happy with my choices, sometimes not. I'm hoping,that with my reviews on what I've read, I might spare someone else dissapointment. I'll read anything, but I can't afford everything. If there's something you'd like for me to read, let me know. If you take the time to read this, please, take the time to let me know what you think. I may not agree with you, or you may not agree with me. But, so what. That's life.

Ultimate X-Men #90 - Marvel
I know you're not supposed to 'dis the X-Men, but . . . this title is really boring me. And it has for the previous 6 or 7 issues. It just seems like so much . . minutia. It's all just rehashed stuff. I haven't seen one original idea in this book . . in those 6 or 7 months. Yeah we saw Sinister this issue, and he's different from our Sinister. But really . . who cares. And honestly, who didn't know that it was going to be Apocalypse at the end of the book? I mean, we all saw it coming from a mile away. Yeah it was nice to see Salvador Larroca doing the pencils. But hey . . you can't have him try to save every book that's in trouble out there. I mean . . he's only 1 guy. And I think Marvel is spreading him thin enough as it is. Really . . all I want from this book . . . is to live up to the standard of expectation that we've come to expect from the rest of the Ultimate Universe. Bobby Drake showed up over in Ultimate Spider-man, and that was more interesting than this issue. Let's see some originality here. Some fresh ideas. Or even new perspectives on old ones. I'm sorry. I know I went through all this last month on this book. And, I promised myself I wouldn't do the same thing this issue. But I love the Ultimate Universe. I love it's freshness. I love what it stands for. And to me . . . this book doesn't stand up with the rest of them. Sorry!
