Was a toss up between Punisher and Deadpool. Voted for Punisher as I thought he was getting the least love with his current series. Would love to see the battle of the week be between Punisher and Deadpool. That would be awesome... 2 Thunderbolts going against each other plus it would actually make sense. Surely Wade has killed an innocent (however accidently) in his time.
Having bought the paperbacks of both series I have to say I enjoyed Ultimate Spider-man (Peter Parker era, didn't read Miles Morales) quite a bit more. A lot of New Avengers arcs (Civil War, Secret Invasion) were not individual to the book having taken place throughout the 616. Hell, there was also Mighty Avengers and then Dark Avengers that you had to read before you got the whole story of the Avengers side of these arcs. Ultimate Spider-man only occasionally criss crossed with Ultimate X-men (which I also collected to completion) and also cleverly rewrote a lot of key Spider-man lore. Notably the origin of Venom and the clone sage (each were pretty much sewn up in a paperback each, not years like the original). Plus in a certain issue of Ultimate Spider-man (I forget which) my favourite band of all time was mentioned The Ramones, who actually sang a version of the original Spider-man cartoon theme. Being a fan of the 90's Spider-man cartoon first and then reading Ultimate Spider-man has really made me into a bit of a Webhead though to be honest I'm still an X-men fan at heart (also the 90's cartoon) Spider-man is my one of my favourite solo Marvel "heroes" Looking forward to getting all the Superior Spider-man paperbacks as where I live don't sell single issues and then reading about the return behind the mask of Peter Parker. Superior is the jumping in point I think I need as it seems like a new start. I definitely can't go back 700 plus issues as then I'd have to get rid of my Ultimate Spider-man and Ultimate X-men and I sure as hell ain't doing that.
@lyrafay: already had "Grimm" and "Once upon a time" plus a spin off of "Once upon a time". (Not even mentioning the Shrek films.) Skewed fairytales are so over.
