As you know I intend to some major contributing over the summer period and in doing so help get back into regular content releases on the site again. As to what I would help out with I was chucking around ideas and have come up with some cool ones, which upon further thinking I decided it'd be possible to do all three:

1. Firstly I would do a roughly once a week review on independent stuff, such as finish off the Tin-Tin's, Queen & Countries and Loveless series (with Loveless v.1 having already written, just not published).
2. Secondly I would quite like to help out with introducing all the non-Brits to the 2000AD stuff by going through the Judge Dredd Complete Case Files (1-17) as another once a week thing. This is something that I'll hold off on until the 2000AD time-line is completed, and until then I'll gladly give Marc a hand by trying to figure if any of the non-Dredd titles need placed in the Dredd time-line and, if so, where they are placed.
3. Thirdly and finally, the biggie (i.e. not just for summer), very similar to the above but focusing on the Ultimate universe. Marvel-wise I'm less well read into than the DC multiverse, so it'd be nice to expand my knowledge of the other big publisher. Some of you will be aware I managed to get hold of the first third of the Ultimate universe cheaply after Christmas, and now thanks to incoming birthday money and such I am looking at getting the rest of the universe collected (with the exception of the most recent trades and the over priced ones – I'll pick these up later). 

I have read what I own already and I have to say the universe is a real mixed bag and it'd be quite fun to go through and review them all, with the exception of Ult Iron Man v.1 of course as Brian has that covered. To make it a bit more interesting my house mate, who has never read comics properly has said he would be willing to do the review tour/journey as a joint blog. 

So the way I see it I would be able to contribute about 3 reviews a week, with each one having a different feel to them. It's still a while off (mid-June) before I can start any of this but I thought it'd be good to let you know my intentions now so can bounce the ideas around a bit and strengthen them; so please let me know what you guys think about this (especially from the viewpoint of a subscriber to the site).

Yeah I feel the whole Ult Marvel thing is going to be a bit more of a collective thing; what I'll do is at the end of each one write which is next so people can read it and send me any thoughts on it in the week between blogs. I've personally not read it all so far (up to the whole Ultimate War stuff), so we'll see where it goes. The X-Men side of the universe is the stronger side, compared to Spiderman which I am finding very easy to pick holes in (like magic re-appearing glass), although the joint writer stuff seems to be badly produced.

Stumptown is a title I've yet to read, I've been focusing on re-reading his Q&C books along with his runs on Detective Comics and 52, with an eye to branch out on the follow on titles. That means I cant say whether it's good or not I'm afraid, but I'd be interested in reading it myself it I hear positive things about it.

Being a Marvel noob I would quite like to hear more about the Marvel side of things, in particular New Mutants or BKV's run on Mystique, so if anyone fancies a stab at these that'd be cool.
