Guess who's back .. back again ..

But I'd like to know if it's the second season or?

This is Survivor #8, but the difference this time around is that they are doing it as "Survivor All-Stars", meaning that all of the contestents this time were on Survivor #1-7 and are back for a second chance. They had originally lined up 16 people from Survivor #1-6, but then Rupert from Survivor #7 became the most popular survivor ever, so they added in him and one more and are now doing this one as three teams of six rather than two teams of eight.

They run two a year. American television has three main "sweeps" months of November, February and May, where they track the ratings and use that to base their advertising rates. There is also competition in September when new shows are launched. Survivor is a ratings hit so it therefore runs one installment from September through November, and another to start in February and end in May.

Arhhh! That means I actually do know what is going on, well I'll damned.

Here they run it every other year, but I doubt that they will run it in two years again since the ratings for the last one were horrifingly low.

That, btw, was also a 'best of'-survivor show.

Just thought I'd say that I love all the Ultimate universe stuff I've read (especially the Ultimates itself).

Well, it looks like I'll be reading some Ultimate books myself. When I was at the comic show a week ago a dealer had almost the entire run of Ultimate Marvel Team-up for sale for 50-cents each. My sister only picks up Ultiimate Spidy, but since these were also written by Bendis I decided to pick them up for her. She read them, but decided not to buy them from me, and gave them back yesterday.

Ultimate team-up? Ugh, you poor bastard. Most of those were oddly bad. They're the part of the ultimate U that for the most part have been ignored, continuty wise. There are some good one though. The first issue was good, the hulk story was ok, the Daredevil/punisher one was good, and the Black Widow was good. On the other hand the doc strange and iron man issues were IMO horrible.

As far the legion goes, i think Kieth Griffen is back on the book in two months, and he's also taking over for Jim Starlin on Thanos over at Marvel. With Ron Lim suppling the art.

On a totally new subject, tomorrow Crothian becomes the Hiver of the Week. Nominations are now also being taken for future Hiver of the Week.

I'm only vaguely familiar with it, that was the one about a father-daughter hitman team wasn't it? The only Dark Horse title I collected regularly was Concrete.
