Man these Ultimate Issues of super heroes are really awesome to read.
I've been reading ulitmate xmen lately since I ran out of comics to read for the other ultimate issues. Now that I ran out of that to read I've been trying to find other download sites to get comics from. Torrents aren't realy that reliable because they don't really stay up to date with new issue releases so I'm having trouble finding the new releases for comics online.

Does anyone know of a good site where I can get comics from thats better than torrents?

ANy help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance

I concur. Comics are a dying industry if you don't support your local comic book shop.

My local comic book shops are all holes in the wall, the one that wasn't closed down a while ago and fuck going to another city to find a decent shop. Comic shops killed themselves in most cases, same with game shops.

And on topic, I've been reading Ultimate Fantastic Four, X-men and Spiderman. Of them, I've found FF the most entertaining followed by Spiderman. I should reread X-men though, they're stuck in a rut right now story wise and I don't like who's drawing it so I'm probably just a bit biased.

You're an idiot. Open up one of these shops yourself and make it work. Their lack of success had nothing to do with themselves but solely rests on the internet. Little corner bookshops/comic shops/gamestores cannot compete with the always open ever increasing deals found on the internet. there's no argument. There was a very nice comic shop down the street from me that I would go to occasionally and talk to the owner. He said on average he maybe had 10 people come in a day. You're not going to make a profit on 10 people a day. Right before they closed down he sold a lot of his stock on the internet and actually pulled a small profit. When you factor in the rent and employee costs a small shop incurs you'd have to sell a ton to make anything back. Whereas on the internet you have none of that.

I hate ultimate series, all they do is dick with the way the story was originally and try to pass it off as somethin new. I.E. venom has to eat ppl to survive, has no webbing, and was created by peter's dad, Who IS not a spy nemore apparently.

So you revived a long dead thread to say that you don't understand what a reimagining is?

theres nothing wrong with how it is originally, imo. A reimagining is just a fancy way of saying "um, we r dumb and cant come up with nething new based on the original material." Id b into it mebbe if their version of venom wasnt so unbelievably lame. I think its cool that they were friends in the comic, but beyond that the changing of hie powers is weak-sauce. What makes venom a great nemisis is that he has ALL of spideys powers, only hes bigger and stronger. Pete has to use his brain to beat him.
