The nicest thing I can say about Ultimatium is that it is not Ultimates 3.

Not to defend that Loeb pile, but weren't they half replaced by Ultimate Ultrons by that point? I seem to recall BSS analyzing it pretty closely.

And not, you know, still recognised by modern society as wrong. Also, I think they leave a drugged Spider-Man passed out in central park at one point (they're the ones who drugged him).

Jerusalem posted:Probably the best aspect of Quicksilver's superspeed for me is that - while he isn't anywhere near as fast as say The Flash - superspeed is his natural state of being. So when he's acting "normal" he's actually very deliberately acting/talking/moving in what feels like slow-motion to him. So people would complain about his arrogance and short temper when he was actually going incredibly out of his way to bring himself down to their level. I love how even though quicksilvers dressed in a suit he still wears running shoes.

As bad as Ultimatum was it at least made a little bit of sense and the art wasn't godawful. U3 was just lower profile and didn't result in the deaths of half the UltU

I thought the first few arcs of Ultimate X-Men were fairly enjoyable. Not brilliant or game-changing, sure, but fairly enjoyable with decent art. It was definitely the weakest title of the lot, by comparison, and it got a lot sillier as time went on.

Thor is kind of like Hercules, only not as fun. But I do like how petty he can be sometimes. From Hulk: Let The Battle Begin I love that "MAKE ME!" is the best retort he could come up with.

Considering how much he's complained about not being able to write X-Factor without constant interruptions from crossovers, I feel like they might have missed a chance to make UXM a great title by not putting Peter David on it.

About 10 years ago, Deadpool's comic was replaced for just over a year with a fun little series called Agent X. Deadpool had gone up against a mercenary/assassin called Black Swan which left both men considered dead and an amnesiac wandering about who seemed like he MIGHT be Deadpool but probably wasn't. It all got resolved in the final issue Agent X was the corpse of a henchman who got the mixed up personalities/powers of Deadpool/Black Swan, with a final confrontation with Black Swan. Swan was one of those desperately boring "perfect" characters, one of those guys who seemed to be considered totally cool and badass by the writer but nobody else, and suffice to say I really disliked him. So I always get a good laugh out of the final page of the final issue of Agent X, which features all the characters (including Taskmaster and Deadpool) on vacation, using Black Swan's taxidermied corpse as a prop - it seemed an appropriate ending, somehow. Agent X #15

This isn't exactly the place for it, but could someone explain the whole Deadpool/T-ray thing to me in under a paragraph? I read through all of v1 of Deadpool and that was one of the most perplexing comic experiences I've ever had. I mean, what? Is, like, T-ray the zombie corpse of Wade Wilson?

T-Ray was the real Wade Wilson while Deadpool was a guy who killed him and stole his identity, but went crazy and thought he really was Wade Wilson. Then T-Ray came back from the dead to get revenge. Then one writer said, "That's stupid!" and made it so that Deadpool was always the real Wade Wilson. Then it became a thing where different writers had different opinions on the matter and it became a clusterfuck.

I find the best way to think of things is that T-Ray was a psycho with a band-aid on his nose and leave it at that.

You're probably right, but I can't help but think that the stolen identity thing would've played out pretty well, as the sort of grand motif for the first run of Deadpool was redemption and becoming a hero, had it come to some sort of conclusion rather than, as Gavok just illuminated me, getting scrapped, like, midway through. I should post some funny panels to make up for the derail, but the only scans I have on this computer are MLP:FiM. Anyone want to see a Blade Runner reference in a My Little Pony comic?

I'm pretty sure that no-one wants to see that. Anyway, here's a PSA in which Superman gives smokers cancer.  Hell if I can find the source. It seems like there were a lot of Superman anti-smoking PSAs and ads.

Yeah, some health groups published a bunch of comics in the early 80's of Superman vs Nick O'Teen that were in pretty much every doctor's office / school for awhile.

Anyone have scans of the Captain America asthma comics? I had asthma as a kid and I remember reading those as a kid. I liked them at the time, but I have to assume the'res some humour in a villain whose superpower is spraying pollen at childrej.
