I'm hoping with get a new UF4 too, Ben's new powers haven't really been explored yet and it'd be interesting to see the new team dynamic with all the stuff that's happened to them.

Ultimate Spider-Man remains the best. And now we know what next months cover is all about. And I am sad.

I've been picking through these comics as I find them on Marvel Unlimited. I like the vastly simplified universe. unfortunately, Unlimited doesn't have complete series so there's holes in continuity. Was there a reboot at one point?

oh. sweet. I was trying to figure out how things went from Ultimate Doomsday to Nimrod Sentinels running the southwest. Makes more sense now.

Christ, that issue was a punch in the gut. Especially since Bendis spent so long building up to Miles' dad dying only to completely twist it around. Poor Miles.

Do you mean Ultimatum? Because that was fairly well explained. I recently subscribed to Marvel Unlimited and have been working my way through Ultimate Spiderman. It is the best! It is really, really good! I've just started volume 2 though (After Ultimatum, before Miles) and the art is really putting me off.

in Ultimate Comics: Spider-Man, they get a new artist in the second or third story, and then Bagley comes back for the final one.

Re: Ultimate Comics Spider-Man 22 It really hit me at the end where Miles wakes up normal the very next morning, as if nothing that went down the previous night happened, but then remembers everything a moment later and breaks down. It's a very relatable moment and was just heartbreaking to see on page. I was really hoping that Miles would have had both of his parents around for a while, but Bendis is so good with this title that I think I can deal with this plot twist.

Humphries' lovely run on Ultimates ended in the most anti-climactic fight I have ever seen in a comic book and Cap resigning from the presidency out of literally nowhere because he had to put his toys back into the box. I actually thought the last couple of issues were alright but the resolution was terrible. If it weren't for Fialkov next issue and the continued quality of Spider-Man, I'd have dropped the Ultimate Universe after this.

I actually thought the last couple of issues were alright but the resolution was terrible. That is a shame. The last issue of Ultimates was blisteringly good. It is fitting that Humphries' best issue was followed by his worst. The stop and start cavalcade of writers on Ultimate is a real letdown. Hopefully Fialkov stays on for more than 10 issues.

Pick it up from issue 24 and forget about the rest.

TomWaitsForNoMan posted:What's Ultimate X-Men like these days? It's consistently good but kinda meandering. Wood's had to spend the majority of his time on the book so far picking up Spencer's poo poo and he's only just starting to build to an actual event. A basic summary is that Kitty Pryde and Wolverine Jr. started a mutant reserve with the help of Tony Stark and a seed they developed that would eliminate world hunger has caused Governments to get up in arms and refuse to recognize their sovereignty. This has led to mutants vs. the army and Jean Grey (who is the leader of a mutant nation in China because of a mini-series I didn't read) is infiltrating their base to gain information on them. And there was a split because a bunch of guys left the group but not really. The majority of the book is teenagers bickering so if that's your thing, I wholeheartedly recommend it!

Like there were at least 3 issues of story in there, with the West Coast Ultimates dividing and conquering, and then they just all up and walk away for an anime Power Of Teamwork scene? No way that was the original intention.

When they didn't get that (surprise!) they got cold feet on the entire line by the looks of it.

Him being moved to Avengers before he was done telling his story on Ultimates was a direct result of Marvel's higher-ups realizing the Ultimate relaunch wasn't getting the sales they wanted. Hickman himself said as much.

Then he's beaten...I'm not even really sure how, I guess Sue storm invisiballed-him after Tony's tumor talked to his city. This is the one time I'd be ok with the villain having a "That's what I intended ALL ALONG!" plan, because frankly after 1000 years of planning, there's no way he'd be that stupid.

If you think about it, there's not a lot of ways the Reed thing could have resolved, short of "thing out of loving nowhere that makes no sense at all", or else Reed would have already planned for it.
