I just now realized it was by Grant Morrison! Odd. And the next story being about Spawn teaming up with Houdini didn't exactly pique my interest. From then on I would sporadically buy issues, like Cy-Gor's first appearance, but this one, 56, was the last issue I bought. I never really liked any of the previous issues I had purchased but I kept wanting to keep updated on what was going on. This issue I realized nothing much was going on and dropped all interest in the book (as I mentioned in another comment, the movie and Chapel retcon helped support this decision).PeterCSMnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2734283773701136760.post-75547140268073093142011-01-11T20:38:02.998-05:002011-01-11T20:38:02.998-05:00I think I lasted up until around issue #80.

I don't have any plans on buying #200, but if I ever saw it cheap in a back issue bin I might consider it (I also considered buying #199 to see what Erik Larsen inked by McFarlane looked like).G.

I got bored with Mark Millar's Ultimate X-Men because nothing happened in the first four issues of a six issue storyline, so this sounds like torture.<br /><br />Can I ask how much longer you lasted? And on a similar topic, are you picking up issue #200 tomorrow?Adam Farrarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07886013836509986780noreply@blogger.com
