A few years ago, Marvel offered a set of CDs that contained PDF copies of every issue of the Amazing Spider-Man series, from #1 up to whatever was currently the latest issue. I wish they would do the same with other mainsteam series so that the non-collector could read the series and get caught up.
I imagine it was pretty time-consuming though, because they were obviously hand scanned copies saved to PDF. |

It really is. I don't think ill ever understand how, in Civil War, Capt America worked out Spider-Man who later got the best of Iron Man in a brief encounter. That shit was all ass backwards.

There are a shit ton of reality warpers and mutants with powers over atomic manipulation in Marvel (people like Scarlet Witch and Franklin Richards). How would they fare against Superman?

Superman's as strong as they come, but if he fights somebody who can create a black hole with their mind, then there's only so much you can do. Any superhero with super physical powers will lose to anybody who can simply make anything happen with their mind. I remember reading an issue where Zeus went to war against Hulk. Hulk lost soundly -- you simply can't beat somebody who controls reality. For that reason alone, there are a ton of entities in the Marvel universe who can beat Superman. As for earth-bound characters, the number falls dramatically because few earth bound characters have that ability. Physically, against earth characters, only the Sentry really has a shot at beating Superman, which he most certainly could provided he keeps his psyche together. Hulk would put up a damn good fight, as would Hyperion. But that's it. |

Does anyone read the current versions of Uncanny X-men, or X-men? Which do you prefer, and why?

Wolverine and the X-Men, on the other hand, is almost unreadable. |

I went to a comic book store today, and bought a book for the first time in 20 yrs. Was talking with the guy and asked him which of those two was more popular/better reviews, and he said X-men without hesitating.. So I picked up the first few issues of that. Haven't had time to read them yet though. I guess i should probably look into Uncanny X-men too. Do you have any trouble keeping storylines straight when reading both? Do you have a subscription, or do you go to a shop each month?

The newest 'X-Men' run is about an all-female squad of the mainstream X-Men who are now led by Wolverine. Some members are Psylocke, Storm, Rachel Grey, and Jubilee. Uncanny is about a militant splinter cell that is run by Cyclops, and has people like White Queen, Magneto, and Magik. A loose analogy would be that Wolverine is the new Xavier and Cyclops is the new Magneto, if that makes sense. I have a local shop I usually go to for my can't-miss titles, but other stuff I try to wait until an collection or an omnibus comes out. |
