My only big problem is the destruction of asgard in a couple pages with "and they were gone forever..." or something like that tacked on at the end. It seems like a stupid anticlimax and should probably have its own story - BUT - after ultimates 3 and ultimatum, I can see the need to take a...

Re: Ultimate Avengers (Discussion & Spoilers) It's no ultimates 1 + 2, but I suppose nothing can be. At least it is something I can READ, as opposed to, you know, /Loeb./ I, too, have problems with things like "Tony Stark's Older Brother," "Another Hulk" and "Question-mark-spider-man." It could...

Re: Ultimate Avengers (Discussion & Spoilers) Thus says Langsta's Law...

Re: Ultimate Spider-Man #117 (Spoilers) I wasn't feeling this issue as I was the rest of the "death of a goblin" arc. I wish there had been more villains involved after the escape, and that something MORE had escalated out of all of this. There was such great build up and then ... the end...

Agreed! Peep that "Death of a Goblin" goodness for more sweet, sweet SHEILD-Y action.

Wasn't Reed Richards growing the "mini-mates" for just such an event?

Trial of the Hulk: POV: Bruce panel when we're looking up at the blue sky. I have no idea why, but I just loved that panel. The Grand Theft: America issue when the bad guys first show up, esp. the giant, red dynamo foot. To save space - pretty much all of Ultimates one and two. The moment at...

Re: Ultimate Spider-Man #116 (Spoilers) What a great run. Kitty and Peter have a great dynamic ... and Ultimate Green Goblin is just awesome, as always. Forget Ultimate Human, green goblin should fight the hulk instead. Are we to assume that all the other prisoners were recaptured? And as for...

I call it "dumb" ... but in the interest of common language, R0808008Z it is.

How do you get past the "robot with boobs" thing? I just find that incredibly foolish. The vision looked so awesome when it was hanging, mangled in Ultimate Nightmare that I was quite disappointed when it got green and grew breasts. I'm so desperate for a good ultimate book that I'll give this...

I'm with McCheese on all points except Ultimate Spider Man, and I would probably have agreed there too had I not just picked up death of a goblin part one and actually enjoyed it (yeah, I'm a sucker for "all the bad guys escape again!" I know.). At first, I thought Ultimates 3 just wasn't too my...

Re: Ultimates 3 #1 spoiler/discussion A new writer and artist have the right and the responsibility to take the series in a new direction, but if you're going to break from the past, break from the past. Ultimates 1 + 2 were awesome, but they're over now. Ditch the Tony and Natasha thing, leave...

I've been waiting for this for so long I had forgotten about it. I was pretty psyched to see it just sitting there. It seemed surreal. I actually liked it when Loki's horde attacked from out of nowhere, then Thor calls down Bifrost and his own army. The "ambiguous Thor" plot worked really well...

<dutifully flips peanuts all around, then stuffs down his own fistfull. It doesn't help enough.> The root of our scuffle is, then, that we take different tacks on what JQ is saying. When I read his statement, I don't get the same read out of it you do. I don't think EVERYTHING'S a lie (that...

We're not really disagreeing here. You call them priorities. I call them "better things to do." My tone is snippier, but we both agree with E and we're both saying (A) Lost takes priority and (B) Marvel knows it. So I said it was "better" - which, on the face of it, a huge hit TV gig surely is...
