ITEM! celeb spotting: bbc footy presenter ray stubbs in lower richmond road yesterday lunchtime, laden with the day's newspapers - i gave him one of those "don't i know you from somewhere?" looks before i twigged who he was - then i was trying to think of some of the songs he sang on celebrity fame academy but by the time i was ready to sing at him

Mostly agreed on Ultimates, especially as regards the art, but surely Thor's status had to be resolved eventually? Otherwise it would all have gone a bit frsutratingly Lost. Certainly it means that they won't be able to tell such interesting stories now but...I was never going to get the next team's volume anyway. Same with the independence, really.

personally i wouldve rather the thor "mystery" hadn't been resolved ( - and if they had to resolve it, i prefer the superpowered loony option )

mind you, i still wonder whatever happened to audrey horne, trapped in the bank vault when the bomb went off
( final episode of twin peaks )

( - i haven't been following lost - yet )

Don't.

I am with Barry on this, really. I liked several years where it was ambiguous, but resolving it to the mythological Thor was inevitable once we got Loki, and it opens up all those new possibilities, which being a loony wouldn't. Now they have the option of a Thor comic.

I don't suppose I'll read it under anyone else - I am, as you know, a Millar fan rather than an Ultimates one, first and foremost. Actually I'd like a Grant Morrison Ultimates, but then I'd like a Morrison anything.

you & barry are probly right from a story point of view - i just don't think asgard is a goob "fit" into the ultimate universe - & the idea of thor being a delusional superpowered loony still tickles me ( - i'd rather read a gomic of that than boring ole ragnarok is coming again )
