The Bullpen

[BobBretall]

I stopped reading all Ultimate comics a while back, but was really curious about the "Death of Spider-Man" and what necessitated the story having to be spread out over what seems like 20 or so comics for the past several months.

Today, before the poly-bagged issue even hits the stands, Marvel provided the actual "death scene" to USA Today which they proceeded to publish.

 I had no problem reading it since I don't read the Ultimate books and Marvel saved me from having to wonder about how the story ended.  I might have actually broke down & got the comic tomorrow, now I don't have to.  Thanks for saving me $3.99, Marvel!

Who says they are heartless money grubbers?  Here they are saving me $$!!

That sucks for people who might have seen that by mistake, but I think we as a comic reading community focus to much on the outcome, and not enough on the journey. If all that matters is how a story ends, or bulleted plot points, I would just read Wikipedia.

i'm not reading the current USM stuff, but i do have to say that new Mark Bagley looks WAY better than old Mark Bagley.
