Finished: _Invincible: Eight is Enough_ and _Tech Jacket_ by Robert Kirkman. More good tales of Invincible (Elizabear liked the first volume, too) and what appears to be the complete run of _Tech Jacket_, the story of an alien cyborg symbiont and its pet teen human. (Not really, but close enough.) Sample monologue: "Stupid Geldarians. I wouldn't even BE looking for my parents if they hadn't needed me to save their entire stupid civilization." I will continue to look for Kirkman.

I took a look at it, but decided that skimming it in the store was preferable to actually buying it and reading it through (it having failed my personal "worth reading" yardstick).

BTW, not having been following the Marvel Ultimate titles (see previous yardstick), I only just found out that the whole "Marvel Zombie" world actually spun out of an alternate universe storyline in Ultimate FF. I have to admit, finding this out actually made me less interested in picking it up.

FYI on the Ultimates, I did recently pick up the trades for "The Ultimates" (the new version Avengers). It's pretty fun and I do like the way they're messing with Avengers history.

Yeah, I've been trying to avoid getting too sucked into the Ultimates myself -- I have enough to read already. I have let myself buy the Warren Ellis stuff (since I'm always fond of his writing style); that's kept me slightly informed about the structure of that universe, which is enough for the time being...
