Gee, how could Fri, 17 May 2013 05:01:40 GMT Edwin Rodarte http://groups.yahoo.com/group/gn4lib/message/1192 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/gn4lib/message/1192 I had difficulty trying to figure it out when I first purchased them as well. Here is what I was able to find out: Pokemon Red and Blue (Vols. 1-7) Pokemon Thu, 16 May 2013 22:02:27 GMT Smith, Nick http://groups.yahoo.com/group/gn4lib/message/1191 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/gn4lib/message/1191 I have given Ultimates to older teens, and some of them like it. I was lukewarm on Millar's Ultimates, although I like some of his other work, and his Icon Thu, 16 May 2013 21:56:07 GMT shelihay http://groups.yahoo.com/group/gn4lib/message/1190 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/gn4lib/message/1190 I don't know if this is correct, but I was under the impression that each series chronicled the adventures of a particular trainer.

(Although, I wouldn't agree that it's good :)) I Thu, 16 May 2013 21:21:59 GMT Smith, Nick http://groups.yahoo.com/group/gn4lib/message/1188 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/gn4lib/message/1188 The real difficulty I see with Ultimates is that some of it would shock both younger teens and their parents, in terms of the story relative to the Avengers Thu, 16 May 2013 21:12:29 GMT Smith, Nick http://groups.yahoo.com/group/gn4lib/message/1187 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/gn4lib/message/1187 Joel pointed out an odd thing that has puzzled both us and our patrons...why are they collected into volumes of such widely-varying length? Does anyone know Thu, 16 May 2013 21:05:55 GMT Smith, Nick http://groups.yahoo.com/group/gn4lib/message/1186 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/gn4lib/message/1186 The obvious response is "Gotta buy 'em all!" The series we have at our library are: Pokemon Adventures Pokemon Adventures : Diamond and Pearl : Platinum [yes, Thu, 16 May 2013 20:18:41 GMT Allison Boyer http://groups.yahoo.com/group/gn4lib/message/1185 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/gn4lib/message/1185 Perfect, thank you! Thu, 16 May 2013 20:01:00 GMT Russ Harper http://groups.yahoo.com/group/gn4lib/message/1184 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/gn4lib/message/1184 Yeah, I'm not much of a Millar fan too. For all that the movies were based on it, I never felt the Ultimates hit the right notes for me.

The (first two volumes, anyway) Ultimates run was enormously popular, Thu, 16 May 2013 18:28:38 GMT Robin Brenner http://groups.yahoo.com/group/gn4lib/message/1181 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/gn4lib/message/1181 Also, the new Hawkeye (first volume, My Life as a Weapon) by Matt Fraction and David Aja. There's a reason its getting lots of kudos. :) Robin Robin Brenner Thu, 16 May 2013 18:26:40 GMT Raiteri, Stephen L. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/gn4lib/message/1180 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/gn4lib/message/1180 My first thought is Ed Brubaker's Captain America.
