I may be in the minority, but I found "The Death of Spiderman" in the Ultimate line to be every bit as affecting as "All-Star Superman." Maybe not as masterful, but easily as pure in it's depiction of a particular hero being truly 'heroic.'

I hate (in big gaudy font with three underlines)  author filibusters. And Jubal Harshaw is basically an anthropomorphic author filibuster. Not to mention that basically everything he says irks me to my core (libertarian philosophy, yay! Murder all the police officers you want Michael, they were trespassing on my…

I would rather be torn asunder by a razor-blade-and-tabasco-sauce tornado than ever be subjected to another page of Stranger in a Strange Land. Fucking Jubal Harshaw.

Grumble grumble no Karofsky grumble grumble.

Love the shout-out to Courtney Crumrin. One of my very favorite comics and one that I'm super excited to see continued soon.

See, I loved how bleak the book was getting.

But recently I think Powell has just lost any interest in telling that kind of…

You guys suck.
