You speak blashphmy like that and I'll give your goldfish cancer.

I loved the issue. I love stories where they show that even the biggest loser villains can be a threat given the opportunity. I really hope to see something interesting done with Beetle and Boomerang when they bring them into the comic. They were both in the Ultimate Spidey video game, but they haven't been seen in the comics yet, as far as I know.

I read 1985, and it was pretty enjoyable. It seems that this kid whose real life is filled with separation and isolation finds that some Comic characters, mostly villains at this point from the MU are appearing in his world. The story reminds you of what Comics used to be like, there is a lot of curiosities going on in this book.

One of the best panels had to be when the mole man tries to give away a mint comic book collection, and the kid notices the Red Skull peering at him through an upstairs window. Very cool moment. I'll be reading this one a bit longer. Good stuff by Millar.

I'd rate this an 8.

It seems that all of Millar's work is going to function as some kind of crossover. Not sure how I feel about that, but I'm digging most of the work so far, so I might just be reading all of them anyway.

I'm tired of Spiderman keeping his options open with Kitty. "You were an awesome girlfriend Kitty"....yeah get her hopes up!! he seems to be getting closer and closer to that KittyWatson sandwich.

I'm excited to see Ultimate Beetle to.

Knowing Bendis and Marvel's whole "Peter's a loser and that's what makes him identifiable" mindset, what'll actually happen is that Peter will keep his options open with Kitty, who will at the same time become friends with MJ, and then the next time MJ dumps Peter, he'll go running to Kitty, only to find she's the reason MJ left, and her and MJ are hooking up. And then he'll get all emo about it, and maybe make a deal with Ultimate Mephisto.

I hadn't heard anything about that. When's that?

I don't know. I think it's just an excuse to give the real Bullseye another woman to kill.

Amazing Spider-Man #561 - Yes, I'm still reading it. In this issue, Paper Doll attacks Bobby Carr and his secret Hollywood girlfriend Mary Jane Watson, but Spidey is there to be Paparazzi and take pictures of them, so he manages to stop her. Mary Jane escapes to the panic room and speaks over the low quality loudspeakers from there, so Peter never actually finds out it's her. She mentions that she knew him "in another life." He does get pics of her and Bobby, but after Robbie quits the DB, Pete realizes what's wrong with what he's doing and destroys the picture. Then all his friends (including Harry) help him move in to his new place. His new roommate Vin tries to tell Carlie he likes her again, but she seems more interested in Pete, who gives her a peck on the cheek for her help. And on Mary Jane's way out of town, Sara Ehret asks her for an autograph, and specifically asking her to write her famous "you just hit the jackpot" line on it. Sara Ehret, is, of course, the name Jackpot said was her secret identity, who later than denied it. She says she's a huge fan of MJ's.

So... questions raised... does Mary Jane remember her life before Mephisto? Is that what the "in another life" comment meant? And is Sara Ehret really Jackpot, and she just modeled herself after MJ? Or is MJ Jackpot?

I hate to say it, but I'm actually interested. Although I have a huge weakness for anything Spider-Man related.
