Why did Marvel use Ultimate Green Goblin for their Infinity figure?

The Spider-Man and Avengers sets are based on the Ultimate Spider-Man and Avengers Assemble cartoons.

What a weird design. I don't get why Bendis felt the need to hulk him out.The Spider-Man and Avengers sets are based on the Ultimate Spider-Man and Avengers Assemble cartoons.
you do know it's being made by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, right?
It's going to be amazing

I'm glad that people are loving this book so much. It deserves the recognition. I really enjoyed the Liu / Takeda run on X-23, and I'm looking forward to seeing what they do with the freedom that a creator-owned series offers.
I didn't like Astonishing Ant-Man #1 at all, it spent too much time being a summary of what happened before and i struggled to get through it after putting it down and coming back to it. I'm glad i didn't continue pre-ordering it past the first issue. Random 4/10
edit: Since i'm not continuing it monthly and i didn't like it i'm willing to donate the digital code to comics-gaf. First person who asks that i don't dislike gets it.

Guess you're never giving the code away then.
If I'm not in your dislike list, the code would be nice please.

Y'all need Blacksad in your life
What about Sana Takeda
I take it you read the duo's previous run on X-23?

....Everyone knows about Blacksad. Though I have to say the first book with the original three stories was by far the best. The series seems to get less good with each successive volume.

Spectre? I thought it was decent but there seems to be a massive divide between UK critics and the rest of the world. The opening scene and train fight are fantastic. But a lot of the Oberhauser stuff didn't work for me.

I'm going to see it on Friday. Is it worse than the last three Craig films?

In my opinion:
1) Casino Royale
2) Skyfall
3) Spectre
4) Quantum
I liked Skyfall a lot and wasn't a fan of Quantum at all. Spectre's somewhere in the middle.
Speaking of Bond, the comic was really good. Looking forward to #2.

That works for me. I didn't enjoy Quantum too much either. To be honest, I can barely remember it. If Spectre is at least better than Quantum, I'll enjoy it.

Yeah, the entire Azzarello / Chiang run on that book is great. Once that's over, be sure to stop.

Man after my own heart. Casino Royale is in a league of its own, imo.
Yup, that run is gold.
Spectre is fine. Not astonishing but fine. It's worth going to see for the single tracking shot at the start alone.
I've gone away from home for a little bit. Decided to catch up on Deadly Class to cheer myself up. That's worked well.
Spectre
It was not as good as Casino Royale or Skyfall, which where absolut fantastic movies, but far far from the shit that Quatom of Solace was.The second half is much much much better then the first one. I would give it a 8/10.
The jokes ruined the first half for me.
People who didnt liked the Craig movies will be pleasured

No way Spectre is better than Quantum. And I'm not even a fan of Quantum...for me Spectre is the weakest Craig Bond by a mile.

Agree completely. There are a couple of panels from Zero Year in particular that are just permanently seared into my mind as iconic Batman shots.
It wasnt a big problem for me, but I think the transition from the three previous grounded Craig Bonds to full Bond including Supervillains, Strange Torture devices, henchman and gadgets went a little bit to fast
But it would be the perfect movie to close the Craig chapter, Bond is completly the old one again.

watching spectre in a couple days but so far I'd rank the craig bonds as:
casino royale > quantum of solace > skyfall
the films got better looking as they went. with skyfall being peak cinematography for bond films. but the action and tone took a big step down imo. plus bond was a lot less...ruthless in skyfall. whereas in casino and quantum he's a more blunt instrument.
i've done a huge turnaround on quantum. it's not as good as casino royale for sure but it's still the kind of bond I want, dude's ice cold. plus i think vesper and camille actually had some substance to them.

he looks like cary grant mixed with henry cavill rather than a james bond actor.
I am speculating. It feels like a thing Xavier would do
Yeah, just finished issue 7 of all new. Going to read some uncanny soon. Everybody is so mean to young Scott. I'll probably have to read his solo book and hope his dad adventures in space are happier.
I'm waiting for the second issue since the first was setup.

WEEKLIES:
Midnighter #6: So this is the direction they decided to take
I'm ridiculously okay with this. It's better than
Pacific Rim: Tales from the Drift #1: Weird pacing, but the art's good and I like the story. Not sure about HOW it's being told.
Joe Golem: Occult Detective #1: Exactly what I wanted, though the beginning of the book spoils a really heavy moment from the novel. I like the art, and I'm intrigued with the story at hand. Honestly I feel, depending on where this going, they could tell an enormous amount of stories within this universe. Which excites me immensely.
Invincible Iron Man #3: I really enjoy this book. It's fun, funny, has good action. All the armor sequences are sick. Guess it was just a rough first issue for me. I think I might start to like Tony...oh god...oh god this world...
The Vision #1: Fuck y'all were right. That was good. And creepy. Also LOL at
.
Uncanny X-Men #600: Hoooooly shit. That was beautiful. Unless you're a Hank McCoy fan. In which case, it sucks. Or it's still amazing. One particular moment
My two cents.
Extraordinary X-Men #1: I have a positive outlook on the future of this book, despite the fact that I don't like some of things occurring in it. Namely
Read the Blade promo (?) book that they put out. God, what a blaxploitation character he used to be.
Also read the first couple trades of the New 52 Green Lantern book (which I really liked), currently reading Hellblazer Vol. 1 (very wordy but still good) and I picked up a few trades:
Transformers: The Last Stand of the Wreckers
Nightwing Vol. 5: Setting Son
Secret Six Vol. 3: Cat's Cradle
Uncanny Avengers Vol. 2: The Apocalypse Twins
Midnighter #6: So this is the direction they decided to take
Prometheus? Evil Midnighter?
just weird, evil Batman that he used to be.

(the Bobby moment), while the retcon was handled super shittily initially, the moment where young Bobby confronts older Bobby about it was very beautiful I thought.

That's one way to do a title page. The Kid (Gorororo) was awesome.
And then there's The Duel. Damn, those last 4 panels were heartbreaking. I did not need to read that story right before I slept.
Edit 1: So the covers that join up are from The Duel. Fitting.
Edit 2: Looking up the date on this story, it was first published in Jan, 1991. There was a "closure" story for this in the first Dark Horse volume. That was published 3.5 years later. It is fascinating how the main narrative and side stories can be so interwoven and still be read as standalone without any feeling of incompleteness.
Edit 2: Ok, My Lord's Daughter was fun.
. And the last page was adorable. I shall take a break now and go to sleep.

Usagi fighting an octopus monster while riding a shark.
I felt that way about Deadly Class. Didn't give a shit what happened to any of them. I ended up dropping Low too. I've not tried Tokyo Ghost yet and Black Science has held out the longest but maybe next to go for some of the same reasons. At least digital sales mean I can keep up with them for a fraction of the cost.
I'm starting to wonder if I really did like Fear Agent all that time ago.

I think they tried to book just his hair, but he tagged along.

Why does he wear the mask!?
This man knows.
When is Monstress and Bond #2 due? Just same time next month? Or a lil earlier? Anyone know?
Bond was...ok. Mostly just setup, going to see where it goes for a couple of issues.
Have you read any TF stuff before now?

I take it you read the duo's previous run on X-23?
Yeah, I forgot to mention Sana, whoops! She truly is an incredible artist. Now that I think about it, she would fit Rat Queens way better than Tess Fowler...
Their run together on X-23 was as legendary as Black Widow: The Name of the Rose.
