    Yeap, thought about it months back, and sticking to it. I doubt I'd read Ultimates again unless Millar returned.

    I'm sticking with Ultimate Spider-man and I'll give Ultimate Avengers a shot.

    At least I still have my Deadpool =)

    Ultimate Spidey is relaunching. They had an ad for it in the back of Iron Man this week. Not digging the kiddish art. They also seem to be putting Johnny Storm, Kitty Pryde, and Spider-girl in it as regulars. We'll see how it goes.

    I just wonder if JJJ is going to go back to his old ways, or if the revelations he had in USM: Requiem will hold beyond Spidey's return?

    Ultimates 3 and Ultimatum destroyed my interest in comics just as fast as Ultimate Spider-Man and Ultimates 1/2 created/rekindled it.

    THANKS ALOT JEPH LOEB AND FRIENDS.

    It's like we've been fed the most delicious cake and the Loeb comes in and he's like HAHA I pissed in it!..I understand that he isn't responsible for everything by himself, but man, he really has no trouble making himself a scapegoat target..

    I want Millar to return to Ultimates (which it seems he will), but even then, so much damage has already been done to the Ultimate line I doubt I'd still find the world interesting..

    That was fucking stupid.

    The ending just seemed like a attempt for Jeph Loeb to fuck up as much shit as he could as if he just got fired or something.

    Also every other character gets decapitated/head shot/exploded in that damn book.

    Dear Marvel, STOP DOING CROSSOVERS.

    It's like Marvel created this smart update to their universe and then handed it over to a 12 year old to "condense".

    The last page with Cyclops -come on!
    Forget the fact that they don't have any type of protection for Scott, nor any telepaths scanning the crowd for threats, the dialog was absolutely the most trite shit imaginable.

    "Scott, he's..."
    "I know..."

    Speaking of which... Back when they fought Apocalypse, Jean finally fully merged with the Phoenix force giving her pretty much omnipotent abilities. Yet the most she does in Ultimatum is link Fury's mind to Magneto to show him the truth about mutants. You'd think she might, oh I dunno, undo some of the damage with those powers. Or something.
