I'm a Marvel newb, to tell the truth. I've only been reading their stuff for about 2 1/2 years now. I love it. I think their art is outstanding, and the stories good. I've always heard about problems in their "event" series and such, but never paid it any heed.
This IRKS me:
Civil War Delayed
This series is very good, and I've been picking up many of the tie-ins, but now I've even got to wait for those. Boo I say! Boo and Hiss!
