I think it's worth noting that the sixties SM comics--indeed, most of the sixties Marvel line--are better read not only as part of a "Silver Age", but as part of the nascent countercultural zeitgeist. Most Marvel authority figures of the sixties were reactionary assholes--which was revolutionary, I think. Take the two major figures of the DC Silver Age: The Flash and the Green Lantern. Barry Allen more or less works for the pigs, while Hal Jordan is a military test pilot, and is, in effect, a pig of a different sort. Meanwhile, Spider-Man is constantly being chased by the cops, while the military chases the Hulk around the southwest US. They're very much of their time and place.

A question for someone who hasn't followed the Ultimate books for about five years: When did Ultimate Reed make a heel turn, so to speak? Is there a specific issue, or was it a gradual thing?

I'm a bit of a latecomer to the Ultimate Universe. What exactly was the story behind the whole Loeb thing? Did he get canned? What was up with that?
