Not so good on the resumé
A couple years ago during the Miami Heat playoffs, some company called Ultimate Sports Force released a set of 3 comic books where the Heat players all turned into superheroes.
You could tell from the cover it would be completely awful (sample here: notice the inclusion of a token white player), and I was completely embarrassed to buy the first issue when it came out. And I never summoned the courage to get issues 2 and 3. Definitely mistake in retrospect.
In 2000, Ultimate Sports Force released “Cosmic Slam”, which contains the unfortunate inclusion of Sammy “No English” Sosa and Mark “I’m not here to talk about the past” McGwire. Nothing like honoring ‘roided-up baseball players on your site a couple years after their reputations have been forever tainted.
Unfortunately, their store doesn’t seem to be working, and the thinking in this corner is that the company is no longer solvent. Their opening movie still shows Barry Bonds and Jason Giambi (also alleged ‘roiders), which only lends weight to this theory.
