Are any of you comic book fans?

I haven't read any of the spidey comics in a while - now that I think about it, the last Spiderman comic I bought the collection of Spider Man: The Cosmic Adventures. I've been tempted to dip back into them, but I've now realised what a massive task I have when it comes to catching up... :icon32:

That doesn't make him an anti-hero.

The Punisher is an anti-hero.

Also, what about X-Men, the Uncanny X-Men and the Astonishing X-Men?
When Marvel started making movies the booted up a new universe that sort of reinvisions it's classic characters, this was the "Ultimate" universe. The Ultimate universe has nothing to do with the "normal" universe (called the 612 universe I believe), aside from the fact that it uses the same characters but in a different way.
Amazing Spiderman is part of the "normal" universe. So is X-Men, Uncanny X-Men, and Astonishing X-Men. All of the books in the "normal" universe share the same continuity whereas the Ultimate books have their own continuity.

Itriguing. So thats why the Marvel site suggest new readers to read the Ultimate comics.

I was extremely wary of the Ultimate line at first but some of it is great. Ultimate Spiderman is excellent, and the current arc of Ultimate Fantastic Four is great too. The Ultimates (the Ultimate version of the avengers) is a must-read for conspiracy lovers. However, I think Ultimate X-Men is for the the most part a ile of shit.

Has he been tossed into arkyum before? I honestly don't know.
I know they broke his back and he was replaced by Azrael for a while years ago but this will be different. Apparently Dick Grayson (Nightwing) will take up the mask.

What, again?
