still, i'm looking forward at some point soonish to reading a gollection of ultimate spidey w/out having mine eyes offended by the horrible mark bagley art ( - yay - stuart immonen - yay )
dan slott: i haven't read any brand new day stories yet but his spidey/torch miniseries "i'm with stupid" was great fun imo

There may have been some similar US show but I can't think of a specific.
A couple of years ago in an earlier nostalgia fit I was looking up Web info on BP from "my" day, the Val-Pete-and-John era. (Just occured to me: one day someone will be looking up Weakest Link as nostaligia. Aghh. Get me my rocking chair.)
