Bagley hasn't done any of the USM Annuals to date.

If they wanted to break the record, they should have really gone out and kneecapped the damn thing. 200 issues. Maybe 206, to fully double it. Now THAT would be a broken record...

In this day and age, however, when we're lucky to get a new issue of a major series once every four months (Civil War, anyone?), the fact that Bagley has not only kept up a consistent monthly schedule but sometimes even done two books a month, and done a quality job at that, is something to be respected and commended.

Still, I find the book entertaining enough and Bagley is a true pro. I'll miss him on the title.

The guy is a workhorse. (I wouldn't say he's the BEST thing in comics, but he's solid.) Aside from that I call shenanigans on the whole "beat the record" thing. Ultimate Spidey is little more than reading the "616" Spider-Man books and retelling them with a weird "upside-down, what-if" kind of sensibility. It's not like Bendis actually CREATED the whole mythos from wholecloth like Lee/Kirby! All he did was give reader-friendly "Spidey Super Stories" versions of the already existing body of work. And, much in agreement with a previous post, the decompressed story writing makes all this just about 30 actual issues of writing. However, for Bagley...it is ALL drawn so HE gets a prize! ~P~ P-TOR All props to Bagley.

What about <b>Cerebus</b>? Gerhard came on to do backgrounds before that book got to #100, and I don't think that's any less of a proper collaboration than Bagley/Bendis. Again, I don't mean to belittle the achievement, but some of the claims about this "record" strike me as specious.

It's very hard for ANYone to do that many issues of a comic book, so to get TWO people to stay on a book that long? Most impressive. And yes, due to the 18 issues a year for a good part of the time, it is not the same time constraint 100 issues would normally be, but still, that's a lot of issues to have to draw!
