SECONDED. Unrelenting torrents of expectation drowned this issue for me - the characters looked wrong, faces/physiques all over the shop. But the spectacle, the quips, the ASGARD IS IN THE HOUSE! event, man - nothing can top it. Hardback Ultimates 2 in the same style as the first hardback...

Amen, Lord Thor. There will be time enough to disavow your heritage when Hela comes for you. Christ thats a good motto.

thanks - fair and acceptable point. I feel 11 and 12 built tension towards a climax, you may feel they trod water until the nub, some say the res, of the whole shebang. But the expression "phoning it in" really grates with me, as it signifies a lack of concious effort. Wouldn't it be true...

You stated that the story for issue 11 and 12 were inferior, correct? In what context? Compared to what? Hawkeye's family being slaughtered? At no point did I say you could not complain, my opinion is my opinion but I didn't stoop to calling your opinions "silly". Or go into a multi...

Re: Punisher MAX Series Discussion *Spoilers* A fiendish shop keeper held out a copy of "Slavers" and said "give it a try". 3 months later I have picked up every single bit of Punisher Max ever published, pimped it to every friend and they have reacted the same. Read comics because you...

Opinions vary, tastes vary, patience limits vary. But the comic book medium is about superhero wrestling, so whoever has The Undertaker wins. By this token The Ultimates 1 and 2 did exactly what it said on the tin, just took over 5 years to do it. Saying that a writer phoned in the story...

Re: Marvel.com: Ultimates 2 #13 delayed to 5/2/07 We were almost within 20 days of seeing it.... UNTOLD AMOUNTS OF GAH! :x :x :x :x the fact that we've seen a couple of pics showing how good its going to be is like having a greased Scarlett Johansson poledancing in your house and you've...

Re: News (minor) on Ultimates V2 #13 popped back on the board to say "well, only a month to go, eh lads?" and this happens. gah! :x oh well, in 10 years time it'll still be the most prized hardcover on my shelf....:D

I am ashamed to say that despite being a huge 616 Thor fan, I was unaware that in Norse mythology he could not wield Mjolnir without the belt (was it still the "belt of strength" as Marvel termed it?). When the belt was taken Thor just screamed for his father, so I put possibly undue emphasis...

best single issue of a comic in living memory. 5/5 only one thing is left bothering me : the team took down Thor by removing his belt. how do you explain this away if he really is a god?

I have been waiting for this issue, literally watching the seconds tick by. And my copy, supposedly posted by Marvel the day after printing, still hasn't arrived yet. And then I read this thread. Man, the artwork. I am seriously thinking of commissioning Bryan Hitch to do an Ultimate...

#5 - Haven't seen a better cover in my life.

Hitch deserves every penny and more. After watching the interview on the Ultimate Avengers 2 DVD, I suddenly feel like I'm losing an important part of my life as the Millar/Hitch run ends. Can anyone else remember their reaction to the first few issues? The most cynical bastard I know...

I voted for Ultimate Thor. Then found out afterwards I should have chosen 3. :oops: 1 - Thor 2 - DD 3 - Secret Wars

The nub, some say the crux in one :D At least the TPB is going to be a damn big seller, when all the disaffected Ultimates fans can finally catch up after giving up hope of seeing an end.

hmmm.... lots of good calls so far, here's my rambled spoutings of thought for 12 and 13: Hank Pym, after a last minute change of heart, attacks the Liberators with the Ultrons, then changes to Giant Man but is cut to peices by the powersuits before declaring his everlasting love to Jan...

simply magnif :D :D :D

I have sunk so low, not only do I own, and cherish, UA1 and have UA2 on order, I have even ordered the utterly ridiculous Ulimates DVD comic. Can you get patches or something for this? Sort of Ultimate methadone?

none of which changes the fact that Ultimates 2 #12 is slipping away, like a beautiful girl in a crowd, never to be seen again :( Hey, I'm just moping. Flick peanuts at me until I cheer up, OK?

option 1 please. keep going the way you are - its nothing short of phenomenally funny and has real mass appeal. and do spidey meets ultimate thor :D
