I still feel sorry for those poor souls who bought ULTIMATE HULK VS. WOLVERINE #1. (Because they're still waiting for the conclusion, not because it was bad. Which it may have been; heck I didn't buy the freakin' thing. I got kids to feed.) I do think it's a little sad how excited the industry gets about some hot novel/film/TV writer signing on to do a comic. I mean, not all that many people out there in the real world have any idea who JMS is, but when he first came to Marvel it was treated like the Second Coming. Same with Orson Scott Card on ULT. IRON MAN and just about anyone else you might care to mention. It really plays up the insecurity of those in the medium, in my opinion.
