Reset

There seems to be a trend lately to hire professional writers at Marvel that work in othe mediums. Joss Weadon was hired to kick off Astoshing X-men, a series worth checking out, and more recently Allan Heinberg, from tv's The OC and Sex and the City, for the new Young Avengers series. Last night I picked up Ultimate Iron Man, written by Orson Scott Card, Nebula award winner and Sci Fi guru, and I was pleasently impressed.
Granted, I have been an avid fan of the Ultimate movement, and a fan of Iron Man in general, but I was a little sceptical about this one going in. I figure there's only so far they can take something before it starts to get old, loses its originallity and becomes strained and beaten (the whole comic movement of the '90's comes to mind). So far, they've picked a winner, although I will remain sceptical until the end of this arc.

*Aside*
I promise, all of my entries won't be comic reviews. I just thought it was a good book and was worth checking out. :)
