You know there is an invasion. You've heard that Spider-Man is single. You've been told to buy Ultimate Origins or your puppy will be kicked. So we've locked the marketing department in a hotel room and now we just want to talk. No series to sell you, no creators to announce, no Skrull masks to wear. We just want your two cents. Is Bucky a better Cap than Steve? Do you want Eddie back as Venom? Is Cyclops finally leading the X-Men the way Xavier always should have? Should Ultimate Spider-Man choose Ultimate Kitty Pryde over Ultimate Mary Jane ultimately? C'mon down and chime in. Ask a question, answer a question, or just save your knees from spontaneous convention combustion. We may have Marvel business cards but this is your universe!
