I really liked the sense of wonder UF4 had at the beginning but by #7 I had pretty much checked out.

Ultimate Doom was terrible. Was he the first misstep in the Ultimate line, or was Ultimate X-Men already loving up?

I didn't mind Bendis' Ultimate X-Men. I doubt I'd like it now, but he could do no wrong to me at the time.

Rhyno posted:Wasn't UXM a Mark Millar joint? Bendis wrote like one arc in year 4 or so? Mark Millar wrote UXM at the the start and for a good chunk, I don't think that book really went downhill until Kirkman started writing it, and I didn't even hate his stuff that much at the start of the run. Brian K. Vaughn wrote it for a bit and even Chuck loving Austen had a pretty good issue. Open Marriage Night posted:Ultimate Doom was terrible. Was he the first misstep in the Ultimate line, or was Ultimate X-Men already loving up? Ultimatum and Jeph Loeb on Ultimates 3 was when the line started really turning to dog poo poo. There's still some gems in the later stuff Hickman's Ultimates was amazing, (if sadly cut short because they realized Hickman was too good a writer to have on a book nobody read), pretty much anything written by Warren Ellis, that weird poo poo written by Fiarkov (sp?), Ultimate Spider-Ham.

X-O posted:Ultimate Clone Saga is just fine. It's pretty good actually. You should read Ultimate Spider-Man all the way until the end. There's only two or at most three subpar arcs in 160+ issues. It isn't terrible, but it is the point where the comic starts screwing up. And as much as I liked the idea of the super friends nothing ever really comes of it.

Ultimate Doom was fine in concept and such but all Dooms pale in comparison to the 616 Dr. Doom. He was Rabam Alal and God after all.

Open Marriage Night posted:Is it safe to say that I thought Millar's Ultimate Fantastic Four was a good time? Despite Greg Land's art, he did some fun stuff. I still fondly remember the excitement for Crossover, and laughing my rear end off at the twist. It's one of the few Millar written things I love. And yes despite the Greg Land art. But really Millar doing Fantastic Four, either Ultimate or 616, is probably my favorite stuff of his that I've read. It has almost none of his trademark dumb stuff in it.

Spider-Man 2099 wrapped up today and the ending was not at all what I expected. The pieces were there to give Miguel a happy little ending since he's likely being tucked away in the continuity shoebox again for a while, but PAD went a different route with it. It's not a twist for twist's sake though, it's true to the characters and the story he set up, plus it leaves room to continue later if something like Defenders 2100 actually happens. All in all, it was a fun title and got nearly as many issues as the first volume in the '90s. Not essential reading by any means, but worth reading through on Unlimited someday if you have any affinity for the character.

Glad to hear it lands well. I'm reading it on Unlimited so I'm behind but it's been a consistently good series. Nothing to go recommending as a must read but if you like Miguel it's a good time.

Synthbuttrange posted:Spoil it for the rest of us? Miguel time-travels to meet with his girlfriend, Tempest, and their adult son, and learns from them that their son never met him. He figures that means that when he goes back to 2017 to rescue Tempest, he'll succeed but die in the attempt. Their son provides Miguel with the needed information on the basis that they need to avoid a paradox. Miguel successfully fights his way to Tempest, but when he finds her, she's been cybernetically augmented. Her systems are hacked and she stabs Miguel through the chest. He wakes up in Strange 2099's sanctum on New Year's Day, 2100, having successfully accomplished what he went back in time to do: his future city is intact. Strange saved Miguel's life and he stays in his original timeline.

I read the first 2 issues of Peter Parker: Spectacular Spider-Man. It's good, and it's fun, but I dunno. I kind of like my Spidey books with more of a serious tone, and humour injected into it, if that makes sense. I suppose it's not a bad thing to differentiate the two Peter Parker Spidey books on the stands, though.

Not like the old days when each title was simply another storyline that was somehow happening at the same time as the others.

I mean. Another writer basically left Ben in this state. I'm not sure what else he should be written as, and Kaine's perspective wouldn't really lend well towards a story where Ben changes or grows out of what Jackal turned him into. If the book were about Kaine it'd just be more Kaine, which is fine but I wanna see my boy Ben back and the only way to do that is to make something out of the mess Slott created somehow. David can't really just ignore it.

Just like that clone Prowler wasn't actually Hobie.

Speaking of Jessica, when the hell are we getting another Spider-Woman series? Although, after how amazing the last series was, it'll have a lot to live up to. fake edit: I can't tell if it's good or bad that anything Secret Empire-related involving Spider Woman has yet to mention that she also has a baby to take care of while also helping defend New York from the dome full of darkness/demons. Of course, maybe that's where Roger, the best father-figure in Marvel, has been during all this.
