    The Ultimates2-Manifest *Spoiler Warning*

    A short discussion on Ultimates 2 and real world politics From Issue 1 on, we've been told there is a traitor in the team. However, when the traitor finally speaks his mind in issue 6, I couldn't help but wonder if he might actually be the true hero, standing up to a evil organisation. I'd...

    "Top Creative Teams" - the new marketing catch-phrase?

    How many times have we recently heard about "Top Creative Teams" taking over books? "Brian Bendis & David Finch on New Avengers" - a top creative team! (why, certainly) "Frank Millar & Jim Lee on Batman Allstars" - a top creative team? Mark Millar and Brian Hitch on Ultimates" - certainly...

    Rick's Monthly Reading Digest *multiple spoiler warning*

    Hi fans, at long last, I'm back on Ultmate-Central, for a short review of everything I read this month. "Why review a whole month at once?", you might ask, oh heathens. Well, ask my faithful acolytes, and they will tell you that I live in the mystical land of Bavaria (home of the original Dr...

    Preview to Ultimate Spiderman Letterpage

    Ultimate Office wrote me a mail the last days, asking me if they could use part of a mail I sent them recently for an up-coming Letterpage (I keep sending in fan-feedback about once each three months). I asked what part of my mail they were talking about, and they told me it's the part about...

    Authority Question

    I own both Ellis' and Millar's run on the Authority, and I'm thinking about getting the next trade(s) after Millar finished, but I don't have any idea if it's out already, or who did it, or under which title you can order it. Can anyone help out?

    Watchmen (Spoilers)

    Watchmen Author: Allen Moore Artist: Dave Gibbons leaving the world of black and white behind Watchmen is one of those few books, that have changed the whole medium. Watchmen and The Dark Knight Returns are probably the forefathers of the grim'n gritty era of the ninties. Both left...

    Reading comics can be so depressing...

    I got my monthly stack yesterday. I really felt thrilled when I first looked over all the different covers. I felt a lot less thrilled once I had read them. The Majority of them had been mostly borning. The only titles I really enjoyed reading were Supreme Power, the Black Widow and the...

    Return of the King conclusion

    I know this is a bit dated, but I'd still like to discuss it. What do you think about the end ofthe Return of the King arc? I personally thought it was great. I liked the way Millar compared Xavier and Magneto with Cyclops and Wolverine. I'm serious. The last issue deals exclusively with these...

    What's up with Bendis?

    Ultimate Spiderman has never been my favorite Ultimate Title, but I think recently it's been really bad. I think the Hollywood arc is where things got bad. It was 6 issues and the only interesting things that ever happened where the part about Gwen Stacy. I'm serious. I didn't find anything...

    Langage comprehension question

    What does Storm mean when she says: "Remember what the professor said: O-nay Owers Pay!" (UXM #50) I thought it might mean "on your own pay", but I'm not really convinced. Ricky

    I'm so fed up with MJ

    Yesterday, I flipped through the pages of Spiderman: India, wondering whether to buy it or not. I had already decided against it, when I suddenly came across MJ (I don't remember her name correctely, something like "Maya Jarrah"). At that moment I suddenly realized what had been bothering me...

    Retrospection

    Tomorrow People One of the better arcs, yet. I didn't like it much, though, for various reasons: 1. I hate Kubert's "dots instead of eyes"-art 2. I knew too much of the "real" X-Men, so I constantly got feelings of "falseness" 3. The other Ultimate books started in the "real world" and...

    What bother's me about Ultimate X-Men

    When I started reading Ultimate X-Men, the only X-Men I knew about were those from the 80s, originally read when they came out with a several-year-gap in Germany, reread in the Essential Tradebacks. Tomorrow People REALLY bothered me, for it contradicted everything I knew about the X-Men, but...

    Bendis actually checked up with Millar?

    contains spoiler from ultimate x-men 45+ !you've been warned! just a thought: back in ultimate x-men 32/33, millar set the foundation for future developments in Ultimates. Psylocks return, the formation of a european super-team, and last but not least: hints at a future involvment of...

    Thoughts about Ult. Spider-Man villains

    Long post ahead. You have been warned... 1. Scarlet Spider: I actually like the Idea of a Spiderman-clone swinging through New York. A Spiderman-clone, not a Peter-clone! I see a (otherwise unrelated) teenager getting caught up in some genetic experiment, possibly with peter's dna/blood...

    Ultimate X-Men and Space

    You might or might not know, that the original X-Men have been in space nearly from the beginning, mostly aboard Shi'ar Starships. I actually hope they are never gonna rehash any of that. The time for StarWars like action in a Super Hero book is over, in my opinion. The Ultimates, Volume 1...

    Ultimate Cyclops not an orphan?

    Can any of you remember if there has ever been anything mentioned about Ultimate Scott being an orphan? Because, in Ultimate X-Men #46, he told Jean that his dad bought him a copy of empire strikes back when he was 7. This would actually mean that Ultimate Scott never grew up in an orphanage...

    UFF and continuity?

    So this is me again, still rambling about the same topic: Ultimate FF and Continuity: You probably know the FF have been refered to at least a dozen times throughout Ultimates and Ultimate Spiderman (not Ultimate X-Men, though). Even worse, General Ross seem to be alive in current Ultimate...
