Bagley and Other Junk

NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!

For those who don't know, Mark Bagley is returning to Ultimate Comics Spider-man for the "Death of Spider-man" arc.  If you cannot tell, I am not  very happy about this news.  Bagley is a so-so artist who, for some reason, has a lot of devoted fans.  I am not one of them. I started reading Ultimate Spider-man at the end of Bagley's run and thought it was okay. Then, when Stuart Immonen came on the book, I realized that Bagley was just a so-so artist.  Then, when David Lafuente joined up, I forgot who Bagley was. Lafuente is now my number two favorite artist behind Marcos Martin.  When I heard that Sara Pichelli was joining the book, I was okay with that, even though Lafuente is definitely better.  Then came this news.  I may not read the Death of Spiderman arc because of Bags work. His work looked like $#!% over at DC and I doubt it will look good over at the Ultimate Universe.

Anywho, Week 15 of the NFL ended and it was an interesting week filled with upsets and surprises. Brett Favre played his last game (maybe), teams that should have won lost (Browns), teams that should have won won (Pats) and everything in between. The two games coming up on Thursday (Panthers @ Steelers) and Saturday aka Christmas (Dallas @ Arizona) are both stinker games but the Monday Night game is great; New Orleans @ Atlanta. That is a fantastic game that I will watch all of.  That is, if I survive going to the Browns game versus the Ravens.  Its gonna be a cold one.  If I have Twitter up by then, I'll Tweet some deets about the game.
