Ultimately Off-Topic V: NemeSinx

But this way you can grab a sharpie and name them yourself!

"Ultimate Comics The Ultimates Vol 1.: The Epic Bromantic Adventures of Thor and Tony!" (Silly titles to counteract the epic, serious nature of the title.)

"Ultimate Comics: Spider-Man Vol. 1: Miles Morales and the Spider of Forty-Two." (All subsequent graphic novels in this series shall be named per Harry Potter style, as well. "Miles Morales and his Nasty Uncle." "Miles Morales and the Mysterio Portal.")

"Ultimate Comics: X-Men Vol. 1: Science and Faith." (An actual, realistic/deep name for one.)

Miles Morales and the Scorpion's Sting?

Mmmmmkay.

Anyone else here bothered by the way Marvel's naming its trades now?

They used to be organized and named like graphic novels. The vast majority of them contained a single storyline, and the trade was named after that story. (Examples: The Ultimates: Super Human, Uncanny X-Men: Breaking Point.)

Now every title seems to have switched over to simple volume numbering. (Examples: Ultimate Comics The Ultimates by Jonathan Hickman, Volume 1, Uncanny X-Men by Kieron Gillen, Volume 1.)

I can imagine this is being done to lighten the pressure on writers to "write for the trade", which I'm okay with. It just throws me off, because I tend to think of my books as serialized graphic novels rather than episodes of a TV show.

I read a quote awhile back from JMS where he claimed that the comic book industry needed to grow past the "comic book" and embrace the "graphic novel" as its primary end-product. Mind you, I'm no JMS fan, but I felt like he had a point, and I took that to heart. And it seemed like Marvel had long since been moving in that direction by pressuring writers to mold their stories into Bendis-style 7-issue story arcs and collect them as graphic novels.

Anyways.

Anyone else think this way, or am I just crazy?

Better then how DC would do it and not even have the trades numbered at all.

Miles Morales and the Scorpion's Sting?

Better make it "Miles Morales and the Sting of the Scorpion," just to be safe. The more "ofs", the better!

Miles Morales and the Zap of Electro?

Miles Morales and the Mystery of the Triskelion?

Miles Morales and the pains of Puberty?

True. I was browsing the Green Lantern trades at my LCS awhile back and couldn't tell what was what. None of the trades were numbered, and none of them listed which issues were collected within. I had to pull out my phone and grab a trade listing from Wikipedia.

You're getting quite good at this.

You mean...you don't like "Ultimate Comics The Ultimates Vol 1.: The Epic Bromantic Adventures of Thor and Tony!"

Ultiminception. Hey that would be a great name for an arc.

Here's a thought on what you can do with my "whining" and "crying", exactly what I'm going to do to your posts from now on, ignore them!

I see myself helping you, by pointing out the flawed logic in your rants, you either publicly show either your own stubborness or coming to your senses, like you did with Spider-Men.

I post my thoughts online because I want to, not because I crave your input and feedback.

And by posting thoughts online, you engage in conversations.

Also, you're missing the most important part of all, something that could have saved us both several posts: I never said I dislike Young Justice.

Completely irrelevant, doesn't change the fact your posts we're aimless and ignorant, complaining about Weisman without having seemingly any understanding of his past work and credit, but just complaining for the sake of complaining on the extended main cast.
