    Wow, never knew that. I've always seen Spidey as an athletic and extra-strong guy, but not really a car lifter. I guess I've been living in a lie...LOL

      Most people don't realize his strength. Its not really said much, but in most fights he pulls his punches unless he's up against someone like the Hulk, or the Juggernaut. The most ridiculous of times when he was Cosmic back during the Acts of Vengeance in the 80's he was throwing around MADISON SQUARE GARDEN and punching Hulk into space. Literally. Into. Space.

            I've been getting into Graphic Novels recently. Really enjoy the artwork and the stories are usually strong as well.

            So far I've read: Watchmen, Batman: Year One, Captain America: The Chosen, Y The Last Man Vol. 1-3.

            I've got to pick up the next few installments of Y and also have Batman: The Dark Knight Returns up on deck.

                I picked up volume 1 of the Scott Pilgrim series, Scott Pilgrim's Precious Little Life. So far I've only had time to read the prologue, but I love it so far.

                  Check out the Superman/Batman series. Some of those are really good reads.

                  Also I loved Year One. Classic read.

                    I'm so happy that I have the Cartoon Retro channel. They have the original Spiderman series, and I used to love that one. Even when I was a kid it was already old...

                          that whole roster of X-men after they released the teasers (like the Spidey one i linked into the thread) is a big WTF. something was supposed to be announced this week at C2E2, still looking up news.



                          and Joe Quesada is still a p***k

                            Just don't pick up Dark Knight Strikes Again which is the sequel to DKR. It's just horrible on so many levels. It's so bad i've blocked it out from memory LOL

                            Lionsfan I see you don't like Joey Q. Did you read what O.M.I.T. is about? Talk about trying to save a concept that's been reviled by every Spidey fan around. Although, I have to admit using the '87 Spidey Wedding Annual as the story to it is interesting and full of geekery in a good way. i just don't like that aspect of the Spidey universe right now.

                            At least Spidey is doing pretty well once you put aside the Peter/MJ kerfluffle but that's a huge chunk of backstory and history you have to conveniently forget about. (their marriage)
