Sunday versus #18

Superman vs. Venusian Pterodactyls

I used to think it was silly when there would be dinosaurs from other planets show up, like these Venusian Pterodactyls, and they would look identical (more or less) to Earth dinosaurs. But if we have aliens from other planets that look identical to humans, why not dinosaurs too!

And besides, it just gives me more fodder for the Sunday Versus posts.

Ultimate Spidey R.I.P.

So if you believe everything that the polybags tell you, today's the day that Peter Parker, a.k.a. The Ultimate Spider-Man, dies.


I'm of two minds on this one, as Ultimate Spider-Man is pretty much the end-all, be-all of comic book perfection for the first decade of this millennium. But then again, the four dollar price point killed my reading of this book two years ago, so I've long since made my peace with his demise.

Still, it'll definitely put a nice cap on Peter's story and provide me with a finite number of books I need to go back and find on ebay (for hopefully less than $4 a book).

Modest Justice of the Golden Age

That may be just a tad bit of an understatement.
