I get a similar feeling with Iron Man and the X-Men, and they're both "real world" series as well. Perhaps it's part of the Marvel brand? <br /><br />Anonymous - Good to know that the Ultimates were intended as an entrance to the series! I'd already planned on getting the anthologies, preferably from the library or a used bookstore. I'd much rather have an actual book, since I do most of my reading on commutes.

But you should look at the cost effectiveness of getting the hard cover volumes that collect 14 mags at a time. Its the best way to start and that is why they make them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2524956602794499164.post-9243816838050616372011-03-23T13:43:36.013-07:002011-03-23T13:43:36.013-07:00I think part of what makes Spider-man feel more gr...I think part of what makes Spider-man feel more grounded in the real world is that his story is told in a real city-- instead of Gotham, or Metropolis, or some generic made up place, Spider-man lives and engages with his enemies in New York City, complete with the skyline we all know and love. Is that maybe the element that you couldn't quite put your finger on?Amalia Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11051028267220078996noreply@blogger.com
