Me, I love 'em...if they're done right. I just love the epic, all-universe-consuming concept in and of itself. But they're not for everyone.Brant W.

Although I am a HUGE comic fan, I have never really collected more than 10 or so books each month. As such, I get really annoyed if I am really enjoying Ultimate Aqua Surfer, but have to go and read Super Sentry just to understand the story ...Jason Berek-Lewishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09857737946220432309noreply@blogger.com
