I'm still a little behind, has anyone used Ben Grimm 2.0 for anything since Doomsday? I'd love to see an FF relaunch with him leading and Jessica Drew filling in the fourth.

How about Mjolner looking like the 616 one for no reason and Thor loving talking in the Shakespeareian style for no reason.

If you don't want to go as far back as Millar's run, Ultimate Doomsday and Ultimate Hawkeye are the most important for understanding Hickman's run.

USM is and always has been his baby, though. I'm sure that makes a difference, as opposed to "Here, you're on this one now"

They're probably all going to die/never ever get mentioned again after two issues anyways.

I could see Miles quitting, then jumping ahead a few years when we have multiple Spider-Men running around, only to have Miles have to jump back in because of destiny etc etc

I just read the newer Iron Man series and I'm a bit confused by the end. Was that supposed to be Howard Stark still alive, or Howard Stark Sr and it's actually leading in to Armor Wars?, or is it just some unknown person right now

UA is hit and miss but mostly good, it's just nowhere near as good as 1 and 2 and I think people were just so turned off by Ultimatum that we all swore the UltimateU off for a bit.

He got taken in during the raid on the tunnels, was tortured and released, that's been about it. Sue's been showing up in Ultimates more and it looks like Reed's going to be the villain again coming up, so I'm hoping Ben and Johnny show up for that. And I still hold out hope for a UFF v2 with SpiderWoman filling in the last spot

Kaleidoscope posted:Whether or not it would've worked who would want that? Does anyone want to read "Ultimate Comics: Fantastic Four"? I want both. I want UC:FF, with Sue, Ben, Johnny and Jessica Drew, and Reed to get his rear end beat and go to his best bet for tech to get revenge with, Latveria, where he becomes the new Doom.

It's not like every other building in the Ultimate Universe isn't exploding all the time. The Triskelion is probably one of the least explodable ones, really.

They should have two books; USM as is, then a second general books, like a Tales from the Ultimates one. Run an Ultimates storyline for a few weeks, then an FF, a Hawkeye issue or two, etc

Happy Noodle Boy posted:616-Reed or Doom would loving destroy him without breaking a sweat. Hell, I would love to see that happen. And have Hickman write it. That'd be great, play it out with this huge build up and bunch of crossovers then have the whole fight being 616 Reed pushing a button and that's it

Ellis has done a bunch of stuff in the UU but I don't think he's written more than 4 consecutive issues on a given title. He did a bit of UFF, Armor Wars and I think the new Iron Man mini, and the Gah Lak Tus stuff

Waterhaul posted:Then Peter comes back, Miles becomes Spider-Boy, gets new renamed series with new creative team, series is cancelled before it reaches double digits, Miles fades into obscurity, is brought back for an event/young teen heroes team book which lasts less issues than his own series, is killed off in a mini event 2-3 years later. Parker tries to time travel to save Aunt May and messes up the timeline. He's Spider-Man again and Miles does not exist. Spiderpoint Zero

It's a pretty simple Logic vs Emotion thing. Speaking of that though, how does Ultimate Nathaniel fit in with that whole storyline? Obviously he wasn't pulled anywhere, is that just "Eh, comics" or is there an explanation somewhere?

There's no way that Nathaniel Essex is a common enough name that they would use it for two different, unrelated characters.

bobkatt013 posted:This is like the third version of him. The first was the crazy serial killer who pushed Xavier down the stairs. The second in Kirkman's run and is sanish as there is an Apocalypse. This is a third and with Bendis you never know as he likes loving with people with character's names. I guess I mean unrelated more than that different there. If he's not the same one surely he either has something to do with Sinister or at the very least Bendis wants us to think he does

Indie Rocktopus posted:I wonder if they'd consider bringing over Ultimate Spider-Woman as well as Miles. "Embittered female clone of Peter Parker with his memories" is high-concept enough to work, especially if you keep the parallel universe stuff in the background, and play up the alienation iofknowing you're a damaged copy of a beloved superhero. I haven't read a ton of either character, but as I understand it both Superboy and the recent Scarlett Spider series have gotten some mileage out of similar set-ups. It'd be pretty cool to team her up with Kaine

Senjuro posted:I could at least understand why Bendis did it if he really wanted to do something truly different with Spider-Man afterwards but Miles ended up being almost exactly the same character as Peter just less of a nerd so I'm really wondering what was the point of it all. Just one big publicly stunt? Aside from being less nerdy he's also a visible minority headlining his own title, so that would be a big part of it. Plus you get those little moments in all the books where you see the influence Peter's death had on everyone

Lurdiak posted:Putting aside the still-unfounded rumors of the line completely ending, I think it's pretty clear that Osborn wasn't dead at the end of Death of Spider-man and that someday Miles will have to slay the dragon Peter couldn't. It's pretty much the most fitting thing for a successor to do. I think Venom can and has filled that role much better

Medium Cool posted:So does anyone sell me on Miles as spider-man or should I just follow my instincts and drop ultimate spider-man after the death of spidey? I just caught up and I've read a bit of the miles stuff but it's just a younger peter parker. I'm really not interested. It feels like a step back in the title. All the supporting character I cared about were pretty much unceremoniously dropped for this new guy I'm just not all that interested in. Maybe I'm just too hung up on peter. Does it get better past the first couple of issues? Keep going for a bit. Those supporting characters haven't been dropped as much as you'd think

My guess is Cap dies saving the world and Thor flies off to start New Asgard and retires. I doubt they'll try another ultimatum in case they ever want to use those characters again. Same with the mutants, they'll probably just go live in peace somewhere and only show up when they need to crossover with a main series

Ultimate has pretty much always been about big events, and Spider-Man and X-Men have both had pretty long runs without any major, world shaking events happening
