Deadpool posted:Ultimate Hawkeye was pretty good this week, but Ultimate X-Men was great. I really loved that first issue. Laid a lot of good groundwork going forward. I also like that Ultimate Hawkeye kind of clued us in on what happened to Karen, Liz, Derek and Hulk after Jimmy left. I'm not that big on how it basically recycled more than half an issue from an issue of Ultimate Fallout. Can you tell me who Karen, Liz, Derek and Jimmy are? Also why is Jean Gray calling herself something else now?

Evil Sagan posted:Okay, so reading The Ultimates has totally sold me on Ultimate Comics. So I gotta know... just how good are Ultimate X-Men and Ultimate Hawkman? Do I want to pick these up first thing after work today or what? Ultimate Hawkeye was pretty goddamn boss. X-men is the weakest at the moment but I get the feeling it is going to be a slow burner.

Spurite Based posted:I really love how we'll be getting an Ultimate comic every week and, because of Ultimate Fallout and having a closer knit continuity, each issue feels like a new chapter of one big story. Gotta agree. I think that this relaunch has been the best and most consistent one this year

Went into my local shop today and was like "Oh boy! I wonder what new Ultimate Comic it is this week!" figuring it'd be 4 titles to 4 weeks and, since it's NEW COMIC DAY (oh boy!) there'd be one. I was disappointed to find not a single new issue in the Ultimate Comics line. Last week had UCSM and Ultimates though. Are they just putting out UCSM whenever the hell they feel like it or has something been delayed?

You're not talkin' to yourself, HNB. UXM needs to sort its poo poo out and start actually doing something. USM was wonderful today and I really, really like how cute it is. Bendis is doing really, really good work on it. One thing I am missing, though, is the one new comic a week thing. That was great to have and kept things feeling constant whereas the current release shedule seems a little scattershot at the moment. Are comics getting delayed by a week or so fairly regularly or am I just being dumb? Basically: I wonder what the next mini will be.

Yeah Ultimates seems like it ended it's first story arc two issues too early. I haven't read 5 yet but the whole line seems like it's kind of treading water at the moment. What happened in UXM could so far have been boiled down to a couple of issues. Ultimates seems like it just sort of ended and now it's trying to string out what's going on until someone works out who everything pieces together.

I'm not sure but I know that Hickman is taking over from Fraction at the end of issue 6 of the Ultimates so things will probably kick up a notch and we'll start seeing some resolution to these things. An insane, stupid and poorly signposted resolution but a resolution none the less.

Just finished reading Ultimate X-men 7 and... welp. I'm a little disappointed that they've decided to go down this particular route. Also I burst out laughing when I saw there was that full body picture of Scarlet Witch. It is easily the most hilarious and needlessly cheese cakey panel I've seen in a long time and I read Vampire Vixens of the Wermacht (check it out, it's as awesome as it sounds). It honestly seems like as well as enhanced strength and added toughness the standard mutation that all mutants get are 'double d's at least' Kind of annoyed that Ultimate X-men isn't going anywhere very fast. The first issue was dull but the line that was pretty much 'I'm Kitty Pryde and this is how I became the worlds most wanted terrorist' was enough to sell me on it. This issue might have been enough to make me skip next months unless it reviews well.

I dunno I don't think so. I remember there being a couple of really awkward full body shots of Kitty and Rogue in pretty much the same place as Wanda. One thing that kind of annoys me is how far off model it is - Wanda was a skinny, dark haired girl with eurotrash leanings. I guess the first time that really started to go 'off' was when Joe Mad did Ultimates 3 and basically drew characters looking however the gently caress he fancied and in a way that made it seem a lot like he'd mistaken it for 616. And now, because I can:  It's you, comics. She's talking to you.

Only Ultimate Spider-man this week. It'd be nice if Marvel hadn't spoiled the covers for the different issues over the course of the last month or so too! Also, hasn't there been a Scorpion in USM before now?

Dacap posted:It's too bad they're introducing a new Scorpion because a demented Peter clone could be an interesting villain for Miles Well it would be but not right away. Give him time to get to the point where he's working his rear end off, idolising Peter and then pull the rug out from under him with the whole 'ah yes but this is what happens to you if you're a hero here is evil peter parker now what!' Don't go all guns blazing at the start.

Anyone read the new Ultimate X men yet? Is it worth buying? Is there a panel that makes me wish I was reading a copy of Viz on the train rather than a copy of X-men like last month?

Wachter posted:Funny how Ultimate Hulk is somehow far more frightening than uberpowerful Worldbreaker 616 Hulk. When he jumped down off that satellite, I was like, "poo poo's on." Hickman, Ribic, and White are writing/drawing/colouring the gently caress out of this book. It's because we haven't really seen what Hulk can do in the Ultimate universe. Worldbreaker just goes around, punches things and moves on. Maybe there's more to it than that but it seems a lot like Hulk in 616 has been overexposed - there's no mystery there anymore. The only time we've seen him get close to opening up it took the entire Ultimates team to take him down and then he blew up a fleet of alien space ships. He is their walking warcrime, they tactical nuke on two legs.

Enjoying that She Hulk hasn't been entirely forgotten about but I kind of wish they'd start to wrap up some of the storyline stuff, especially with Ultimate X Men: There's the NIMROD robot plotline, the kids going to Tian, the Magneto-Xavier are back thing, the Quicksilver thing and now SHIELD turncoats. There are too many threads that need to be wrapped up. Still I'm intrigued by the direction that's being pushed in with UXM and Fury but my mind wasn't exactly blown when they did the huge, exposition dialogue of "We must continue our deception!" in the ultimates. It is a bit 'HEY GUYS WE'RE BUILDING A JUPITER BRAIN ON EARTH'

Yeah it's just... Christ, I know that Ultimate storytelling is decompressed and all but UXM is really starting to take the piss. We're only just starting to resolve the Nimrod 'HIS WILL' plotline from 5 months ago and if you think that this fight with the Nimrod's is going to be over in one or two issues at the rate this poo poo is going you're kidding yourself.

Happy Noodle Boy posted:If x-men was every 2 weeks I wouldn't complain about the pacing. The story has been good. Yeah but it's not so we can. Also I remember during the announcement about the new writer on Ultimates where he said 'I'm going to throw everything off a cliff' or something. I was sort of under the impression that everything has just been thrown off a cliff and was still plunging to the ground at a kajillion miles an hour.

Hey so wanna know something weird? There was more outcry about the changes to Spider-man than there's been over the whole 'we blew up the white house, killed the president and then nuked the whole of washington with a child that was also a bio weapon' thing. Just struck me as odd.

notthegoatseguy posted:Wasn't the Vice President also a vampire? Maybe. I dunno, it was Mark Millar though so I don't think anyone cares. Rhyno posted:Buildings are blown up in comics every day. There will be more presidents and destroying entire cities is nothing new. Well he's not been. Like, in the mindset of people that don't really know about comics maybe sure but Peter Parker spent a fair bit of time not being Spider-man in 616 and now Miles is Spidey in the UU and, to be honest, I kind of like him more than Ultimate Pete. He seems like he's gonna have less of a whinge about things. It just struck me as kind of sad that that was what got peoples hackles up rather than the whole... comic book representing what's basically a terrorist attack on the US government.
