Reply Subj: In honor of Spider-Week, anybody have anythoughts or opinions on that new Ultimate Spider-man?

I read a couple-page preview, but it was mostly rehashing "Waiting for Superman" as an origin story for the new kid. And does he remain a kid? He looked to be about 12 in the comic. I have an issue with someone named "Spider-man" being a little boy.

Otherwise, I don't really have much opinion on it at all. It seems like a pointless exercise in publicity, at most. If the character turns out to be in any ways decent then it's a shame he's permanently in the shadow of Peter Parker, and that hardly seems like it's doing a favor to diversity in comics.

I did manage to catch up on X Men First Class finally, however, and enjoyed it though suggest it would have been better titled "Magneto". He owned that movie.
