Ugh! Oh, well. Sorry about that. Looks like I have to do a better job checking Sam's facts.
I've got to run to a client meeting so I can't make the correction right now but appreciate the correction.

And, jdh, no giving away review secrets!!! Seriously, though, I just pick the three from my stack and start the process around 9-10pm after the kids have settled down. Don't usually finish the reviews until midnight and, normally, post the next morning. This time I'm in a hotel half way across the country and have a meeting and then a flight to catch so I got 'em on the boards last night from the hotel room.

hmm, wktf is not a big fan of it, I'm kinda lukewarm, and I'm pretty sure jdh said he was a fan. It is below "Under Seige", "the Kree/Skrull War", and my personal #1, "the Korvac Saga", but I would also put it above "galactic storm", and any of the more recent ones.

It did give a lot of props to Rick Jones and Avengers history, which is always good, and Pacheo did really well on the art. And it introduced Genis-Vell to the marvel universe, at least for a little while...

Man, all the good discussion happens when I'm in bed. Stupid time-zone.
And im with Jess - except for the space stuff.. I like the space stuff - dont care for war, spies or cowboys either ;P
I'm not even picking up Slotts cowboy issue which says a lot as i normally pick up everything slotty ..(that sounds weird)..

And Speedball is TOO cool. Well..maybe. I was a big new warriors fan and i had the speedball issues by Diko also..

I'm reading Avengers forever right now (the trade) but its very slow going for some reason..i read 3 issues then leave it for a few months then come back to it..incidentally at my lcs i saw every issue of the series for 1$ (which is rare round these parts)

And sorry for ragging on you guys

Since you both have been covering Spider-Man in recent trade reviews, here's a question: have either of you read Spider-Man - Round Robin: The Sidekick's Revenge? I picked this up on a whim at my LCS a while back, and I'm just wondering what i'm in for.

Thanks!

You're welcome, Toxie!

And on that Spider-Man Sidekick's Revenge trade, I'm afraid I haven't read it. Sorry.

Just need to point out that Metamorpho (another original Outsider) is on the team now, at least as far as we've been told. Shift's absence is unexplained at present.
