Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! 
 
I have subscriptions for Amazing Spider-Man, Ultimate Comics Spider-Man and Ultimate Comics Avengers.... 
 
After some time I got a special offer of $17.97... so I took it.... 
 
I called and decided to get two more subscriptions.... Uncanny X-Men and Invincible Iron Man.... 
 
Well anyways I was told that in about a week I would get a confirmation e-mail. I never got a confirmation e-mail and then I called Costumer Service.... 
  
I told them I never got the e-mail and the money was never charged.... So then I was told that the reason it hadn't been processed was because of  the company under Marvel taking car of subscriptions moved/ changed or something so I had to wait 2 more weeks for that... 
 
I waited... 
 
and the money was charged but I never got a confirmation e-mail..... I called in today and was told that there was no record of me doing any transaction and that I did have record orf Iron Man but no X-men.... and was told to wait another 2 weeks to wait... anyways they pretty much just told me my money was lost! 
  

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!  
 
Sorry I needed to vent my feelings...  
 

Anybody know a solution?

Since Deadpool is goign to guest stra on ASP #611 Newsarama.com interviewed the Merc With a Mouth.... (Just thought I'd share it whit all of you guys!) 
 
"Weekly Webbing is back, but this time, Spider-Man has some competition.

Last week, Newsarama gave Spider-Man fans 24 hours of Steve Wacker and the Spider-Man office – a "Tweetumentary" where Newsarama readers had access to the man who oversees the weekly release of new Spider-Man comics.

But after all that work, Wacker wanted a week off.

So which Marvel maven stepped forward to handle the Weekly Webbing this week?
 
Deadpool.

Well, "stepped forward" may be a bit of an exaggeration. But for enough money, Deadpool will do anything – even team up with Spidey.

On Nov. 11, the Merc with a Mouth will co-star in Amazing Spider-Man #611 in a story written by Joe Kelly with art by Eric Canete. Although the story will tie into the "Gauntlet" story that starts next month and runs through next year in Amazing Spider-Man, Kelly told Newsarama the insults in the issue get pretty crazy.

"There is a little bit of 'who's the bigger smart-ass' element to this story. But I describe it as, you go to a comedy club, and you get a comic up there that's pretty good, but you can tell he's trying to stay clean. But then you get a heckler going after him who can say whatever he wants. That brings the comic who's on stage down really fast. And all of the sudden, they're both in the gutter, and it quickly gets very nasty and very funny," Kelly said. "And I'm thinking there might be a similar relationship between Deadpool and Spidey. 'Cause Deadpool would say the things Spidey would want to say. But being around that guy? All of the sudden he's just going to say it. It's like somebody just poking you and poking you and poking you, and I don't think Spidey has the endurance to deal with Deadpool for very long without sort of going to that blue place."

So without delaying this "poking" any longer – er, uh, I mean interview – it's time to talk with Deadpool about his upcoming appearance in Amazing Spider-Man #611.

Newsarama: Deadpool, since you're appearing in the pages of Amazing Spider-Man next month –
 
Deadpool: Annnnnnd it begins. I was warned. "Don't lick the toad. Do not lick!" So I ate it, of course, and now the piper must be paid with yet another new voice in the ol' braincase. Though I never had a ladyfied hallucination before. Sorta sexy...

Nrama: Right... Um, what are your thoughts on sharing the spotlight with the web-slinger?
 
Deadpool: ...and sort of WRONG. Listen, Lady Voice, the spotlights that shine my way are not "shared." They may on occasion be spattered with the blood of my enemies and cousins who owe me money, but they are not "shared." Spider-Man, if a man he indeed be, is suckling from the manly-action-hero teat that is Deadpool, who you know must be exponentially cooler, because he speaks of himself in the third person.

Nrama: But you have to admit, Spider-Man has quite a fan following, probably thanks to those cartoons and movies he's got. Is that intimidating for you?
 
Deadpool: Look, some guys have real fans, cest moi, and some guys have other guys who are just in the habit of following them around... like zombies lookin' for a brain on a bun. No offense, but the dude is so old school Socrates was his gym teacher. I'm the swagger of the 21st century, and everyone who's anyone knows that.
 
"Intimidating..." HA! FYI, I'm in a cartoon AND a movie, and I didn't DANCE in either one. I have also been the star of over 5,000 short stop-motion films, shot in my basement, featuring me kicking buttock.
 
Nrama: Did you use a Deadpool action figure–?
 
Deadpool: [clearing throat] It was a Spider-Man repaint. Next question.

Nrama: One difference between the two of you is that Spider-Man plays the part of hero. How would you describe the part you play?
 
Deadpool: God of Awesome. You make it so easy, Lady Voice...

Nrama: Do you like teaming up with other folks in costume? Or are you more of a solo act?
 
Deadpool: If by "other folks in costume" you mean ladies from the X-Universe, lady Avengers, or lady A.I.M. redshirts, and by "teaming up" you mean ********** the ******* and **********, then yes.
 
But usually I'm solo...[sigh], except when I travel with my posse...I mean my Corps. But Alonso says I’m not supposed to talk about that.

Nrama: Don't you miss Cable?
 
Deadpool: Only on cloudy days. I switched to satellite.

Nrama: Would it make a difference if the costume was being worn by a female? There is a Spider-Woman, you know...
 
Deadpool: It would make a difference in my therapy bill. Especially if she was hot. That would be really confusing and uncomfortable, which is how I like my relationships...but she would look like me... I'm not a well person, Lady Voice. I'm just not well at all.

Nrama: Is there anything you want to warn your fans to expect from your meeting with Spider-Man?
 
Deadpool: It's his final issue. Don't believe the solicits. There is no Amazing #612. I smack him so hard he wakes up in that little blue ball universe. The book reboots with D'Amazing Deadpool #1 next ish. 13 variant covers. Wicked.

Nrama: Anything else?
 
Deadpool: I like pie.
 
Now if you'll excuse me, I have other voices to ignore like my Conscience and Good Taste while I go see what my costume looks like on a female mannequin. Gotta get my camera too... Slay ya later!"

  A Latin American internet page posted this a while back:

"Luego del final de Dark Reign los jóvenes superheróes del universo Marvel tendrán la interesante oportunidad de unirse a una escuela que los ayudará a pulir sus talentos y prepararse para asumir el manto de sus predecesores cuando llegue el momento.

Se trata de Avengers Academy, un nuevo título Marvel 2010 que será escrito por Christos Gage y dibujado por Mike McKone. Tanto Gage como McKone son profesionales de primer nivel, y a pesar de que no siempre han recibido los proyectos que se merecen esta podría ser su oportunidad de brillar como nunca antes.

Personalmente creo que este título tendrá un tono similar a Young Avengers y The Initiative solo que con un poco más de intervención de los Vengadores originales. Al mismo tiempo es importante notar que Marvel ha encontrado un filón de ventas con X-Men First Class y todo parece apuntar a que extenderá el fenómeno de la escuela de heróes a los Vengadores.

Avengers Academy sale a la venta en el 2010."


This is what it says in English:

"After the end of Dark Reign the young superheroes from the Marvel Universe will have the intresting oportunity to enroll into a school tht will help them polish their talents and prepare themselves to take over the mantle of their predecessors when the moment comes.

This is about the Avengers Academy, a new title on Marvel 2010 by Christos Gage and Mike McKone. Both Gage and McKone are professionals top level, and even though they don't always recieve the projects they deserve, this could be their chance to shine like never before.

Personally I think this title will have a very similar tone to Young Avengers and The Initiative except with a little more intervention of the original Avengers. At the same time its important to note that marvel has found a long line of sales with X-Men: First Class and it all point to the fact that this phenomenon of the school of super heroes of the Avengers.

Avengers Academy will be sold on 2010."


Did anybody knew about this?
What can you explain about this?

3 out of 5.... is preety much right.... 
 
-You would probably wanna read my review for issue 1 first- 
(http://www.comicvine.com/ultimate-comics-spider-man-the-new-world-according-to-peter-parker/37-166815/user_reviews/?review=4997
 
Ok on the first issue I mentioned that I didn't like the art.... still don't like it, but I wouldn't expect me to change my mind  just one issue later... 
 
As far as the story goes... Bendis gave me some added questions to series..... Liek what happened to MJ and Kitty througout the six months after the Ultimatum wave hit!.... Why is Johnny bunking at the Parker home... and why the keck are peter and Gwen dat>SPOILER<ing? 
 
Aparently Peter has post-traumatic stress...and Mysterio is taking over.. so this is intreasting... there's just one thing about the story that did bother me... The Bombshells... who the heck are they??? and why would Bendis have a couple of villainess who are mother-daughter and the daugter cusses like every two words... I mean it's like !@##$$%^^&%# and !@#@$#%%^% also please !@##$$%%%^ and !@$$%^#@@...... Well I got bored with that.. just put her in MAX title and gert over it don't scrape her on this awesome story... 
 
Well I've said it before and I'll say it again..... you want me to like a comic give it a good cliffhanger.... this had not a good cliffhanger... I mean Aunt May asking: "What happened to you?" is not a cliffhanger...... 
  
well anyways this is a good comic book because of the personal story, you know, Pete, Gwen, MJ, Kong, etc... but as far as secret identity wise... KO<Spidey>FF ...NO! 
 
PS. Spider-Man did look a little less kiddish in this issue

This issue is intresting and extraordinary (how do you like me now... using big words like that) 
 
NO seriously... Bendis, my respects for the man because he knows how to write a good story. This issue is 6 months after Ultimatum (Yes it's finally over!!!!) and yet I feel that this could easily have been ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN Issue No. 136.... I say 136 instead of 134 because the Requiems could have been 134 and 135.....  
 
The story is great, I mean Peter is not dead so the world is right again. No school for the gang agin and Gwen is kissing Peter (By the way SPOILER... hehe sorry). Along with that surprise, The Human Torch crashes in the Parker home while our new villain Mysterio kills someone (I won't tell you who!!) A new character appears and we don't know if the guy is good/ bad human or not. Since there's no name that comes with the character I think I'll call him "hoodie" (You know because he has a huge hood... yeah everybody's a critic) 
 
Now the reason this review is marked as 4.5 out of 5 (even though I've been rambling on and on on why it's so good) is the art. My only problem was the art, I didn't even care Parker got a job. David Lafuente is an awesome artist... really.... but I think Bagley and even Immonen need to teach him how to draw an Ultimate Spidey (Even a 616 at that). His head is round..... and that's ok but he looks like a toddler. I mean he's short! My 6 year old cousin lookd like that in his Spidey costume. Well that eas one problem, my other problem is taht Johnny looks nothing like Johnny. If you read USM annual No. 3 David then you know Lafuente also provided the art. There he was a whole lot waaaay better than this time. Mysterio is introduced in USM annueal and he comes back in this issue, Lafuente apparently fatten him up from Ultimatum to now..... What did he do eat while drowning?? 
 
Well OK so enough whining I'll get use to the art and when I do Marvel will change the artist and I'll be mad but it's ok I'll live...  It's a good comic and I recomend it'd be read!!!

Funny that a couple of months ago I would've never touched a DC Comics issue.... but this was too intreasting an oprtunity to pass. So maybe I'm the last person who should say anything about this issue since before this all I knew about Batman was what I saw in movies.

I was actually surprised I understood it.

Dick, the old old Robin and now Nightwing, has recieved the Cowl for his own now this whole issue was about how he feels insecure about taking over the mantle as Batman.....
Superman and Wonder Woman even make an appereance all grieving about Bruce Wayne's loss along with Robin, Nightwing and Alfred. I was moved with a part where Superman asks Alfred if he was "all right"....
He answered: "No sir. I am not. My son has died."

The art was good I loved the colors because the whole story's mood was set beause of the colors.....
4.5 out of 5..... Did I mention this is my first DC Comic ever? XD

There's something abut silent issues I love.....
There's a sense of depth and feeling to it...

For example in TV shows there's a moment where the scene is an impact on an emotional level when the sountrack is on while the scene plays..... Well this is kind of like that.

I remember other silent comic books where nothing extraordinary happened but it still was touching...
USM #133 was not!

SPOILERS: There was a scene where Kitty and Spider-Woman meet up and there was a dialogue between them... but you didn't know what they said because it was silent.

There was a lot of action scenes where it was silent...

Usually action scenes aren't silent.... you could've easily divided this issue into two just so one could include the aftermath of Doc Strange's house explosion, Hulk, Spider-Woman and Kitty....

There was a sense of depth to the issue when Kitty Pryde figures out Peter is dead that is where the Silent part should've started.....

I know it seems I'm mad at how it turned but actually I'm not I'm giving this issue a 4.5 out of 5 because of the art the great way this issue/ title ended.........

Mostly everybody thinks that Rated A comic books are boring or dumb because there's no sex or blood and gore.... well to all of you who think that you are wrong!

It has been a very long time since you can see a comic book that is purely fun and entretaining.
The plot was good since it's about thing we all know: The Infinity Gems. What is weird is that this time pets will take over the hero bussines. I personally picked this up not for Lockjaw but for Lockheed who is one of my favorite X-Men. It has drama in a way because Lockheed is still mourning over all the losses he's expirienced. It's funny because an unexpected pet was shown: Ms. Lion. As a self claiming superhero pet he joins the party into the search for the Infinity Gems!

Also the art was very good very lively something you should see when talking about pets...
I like the fact that every character has an attitude you never saw before:

Lockjaw can be a hero and fearlesss leader
Hairball is fiesty
Redwing is a pompus brat
Ms. Lion is very dumb
Throg talks a lot but is very loyal
and Lockheed after everything he's been through he became somewhat of an Emo

Read it! It's fun! Intreasting! and come on it has pets in it!!!

I will admit...... I was one of the many people who vetoed Amazing Spider-Man for what they did to MJ.
Not until this issue I am once agin reading ASM.....

I am not going to say I loved it because even a year after OMD I am still mad MJ is gone from the picture but this was a good issue to jump back in. The story starts with the Macroverse an even prior to One More Day and with Spider-Man's mask off. During this story the Fantastic Four and Spider-Man must return to the Macroverse where now they are known as the 5 gods.The curious thing is that the statue for Spidey has no mask on which rises questions to his best friend: The Human Torch.

This is my first issue so I'm not sure ut there seems to be some continuity errors like the fact that Peter seems to know about mephisto's agreement.

The last page makes me wonder if this whole story was made just so Peter's status quo among super heroes is back to normal, also because of what happened in New Avengers #51

It left questions I want answered and had a very good cliffhanger.

Here's the thing I never knew Mockingbird existed untli Secret Invasion.
Automatically I loved her character and the relationship she shares with Clint.... but the problem with this issue is one single thing. Bobbi is in her stelth mode trying to save the world on her own, on the second page she is seen searching a locker with a mirror inside, her reflection is not her own, the question that it arrises is.... Is that a skrull (because on the reflection it is) or are they trying to show you that she has picked up a thing or two from the skrulls?

I wasn't very fond of the art but the cover art was beautiful!!! I loved it a lot!

I want to know what happens later on so this issue is a must-read in my opinion because yes we know now Mockingbird is not dead but that rises more questions yet.....

Why, you ask? Brian Micheal Bendis has been a great hit into the Marvel Universe. He's changed this world from House of M to now the Secret Invasion. This story is so awesome and jaw dropping. I loved that here in this one issue shows a little bit from every tie-in that will come to be. And the cliffhanger, Oh My God! (Poor Reed). Now a new question arrises: These people that are geting out of the Skrull spaceship the real thing? The only problem I have is Yu's art. Not a very big fan of it but the story compensates. Can't wait for issue #02

Brian Micheal Bendis has a knack for good storytelling. This story was about Spidey and his Amazing Friends. Now we see the three of them together and trying to convince her into admiting she is a mutant and what her futre holds for her. Ultimate Firrestar apparently doesn't like Spider-Man's motto since she doesn't care about responsibility.

Something else that should be mentioned about Bendis is that he knows how to put in a good cliffhanger. Magneto arriving in the end was good perfect for this story. How does this fit in? Who knows? All we know is that Spidey and his friends are gonna have one heck of a fight.

Seeing the cover of the next issue means we'll see the X-Men involved... Cool!

Although havin contardictions this story is OK not great. Why? Well first of Peter is seen in Amazing Fantasy to be a famous television character but not a wreseler. PLus Peters powers weren'y shown in school as in this comic book is shown. A nice touch was giving Peter a car, and were true to Peter's crush with Liz Allen but she seemed to be softer than the original.

I wouldn't put this comic under the catagory of a "Must Read" but more of an enjoyable comic being able to see a fun side before the responsibility part and Peter feeling resposible for his uncle's death.

Again enjoyable but not a "Must read", Ok but not great.

PS: The art is good though it's been a long time I see spidey with small eyes on the mask.
