Drew, I wanted to tell you that I'm reading Manifest Destiny in trade based on your love for the series. I am liking it so far. The art is nice to look at, and the series is great.

Image is just getting better and better each year in my opinion.

Drew,
I thought you were reading Morrison's Multiversity? Were you able to go back to the other issues before reading Ultra Comics? Look forward to your and John's review Monday.

i read the first one and half of the second before losing interest, i have the guidebook but haven't read it yet,

Ultra comics was another odd comic, Morrison works for me sometimes but it just isnt clicking this go round...
