    New Ultimates

    You forgot the part when Thor was revealed to only be a hippie because Odin thought he was too violent, and after dying he's returned to his true personality. I wish I could forget that...

    Ultimate Mystery Discussion (Return of Captain Marh Vehl)

    Not to doubt you, but why is that? Are sales drop offs that drastic after the fourth issue?

    The Walking Dead (TV series)

    Yeah, I'm unsure of Rick too. Will the actor really be able to portray the intense character developments that happen to Rick? That's one of the most important draws of the comics; all the characters who've been around a while are really messed up, and by now that's everyone.

    I just realized something

    This is now a thread about Doom in the Zombie universe, and what he he did there. Also Could-have-been Ultimates plots that should-have-been. I'm not very experienced at this, but I think a cool mini would have involved Doom going on a similar, but more in depth arc that Magneto had. He hooks...

    I just realized something

    I've been reading my old Ultimate trades one last time before heading out to college next month; and for the first time I noticed one of the worst continuity mistakes ever. In "Frightful" Doctor Doom sacrifices himself by entering the Zombie world, while possessed by a world destroying...

    Ultimate X (Loeb/Adams)

    Ultimate X #1 was at the time I read it my favorite Loeb comic, but it was still, in my opinion, pretty terrible. Not because of the problems the very existence of Wolverine 2 creates that others have pointed out in this thread, but because of clunky narration and worse dialogue. It actually...

    Ultimate X (Loeb/Adams)

    I finally got around to reading the first three issues of this series. I downloaded them. The Ultimate Line was got me into comics, and I faithfully bought all the paperbacks until I caught up with the single issues. When I read the first issue of Ultimates Three I was out of comics for a...

    Would you live in 'The City' from Transmetropolitan?

    Heh, yeah... I think I made the mistake of assuming lots of people have read Transmet, and not only remembered it but could discuss it's details as if it were still coming out monthly. Best to let this thread die, probably.

    Would you live in 'The City' from Transmetropolitan?

    I've been rereading Warren Ellis's Transmetropolitan, and I can't decide if given the chance whether I would actually want an apartment in the city the book takes place in. The series has been classified as both cyberpunk and post-cyberpunk, the difference between the genres being the...

    Ultimate Comics Spider-Man (discussion/spoilers)

    His old job was as a web designer. After the Ultimatum Wave Jameson (or his doppleganger) wound up investing in the new bugle as an all-online professional publication. That makes Peter pretty much useless skills wise. Hey, maybe Bendis is building towards MJ getting a job at the bugle with...

    The Walking Dead (Image) [SPOILERS]

    I don't know if you've given his other Image ongoing, Invincible, a try, but they both work the same way. Kirkman plots out a staggering amount of story and then tells some of the most though out comics in the industry. No character is wasted, very little is predictable, and the tension...

    Ex Machina series discussion (spoilers)

    I just finished the penultimate issue. This series has veered way away from how it began, as the focus slowly shifted from debates on various issues in politics to a sci-fi story, but Vaughn has more than proven (to me anyway) that there is no one better in the industry at making great...

    Ultimate Comics Spider-Man (discussion/spoilers)

    Don't get me wrong, I'm glad the bugle is back too, although it's hard to see Peter getting his job back as a website designer when the Bugle has become a website. Which is really what bothered me. How is the Bugle making a penny's profit as an all online publication? I can't think of any...

    Ultimate Comics Spider-Man (discussion/spoilers)

    Did anyone else who picked up #11 find it a little disappointing? The character interaction was par for the USM course but the new villain and the journalism plot came off as kinda stale to me. Lafuente draws a bad ass Jameson though.

    Ultimate Marvel Timeline / Chronology (v 5.0)

    Thanks dude, for the answer and the time line as a whole. I got into comics thanks to Ultimate Marvel Team-up, and if I hadn't stumbled on this page while trying to figure out what the 'ultimate' in the title meant I may never got so sucked into such a great art form. Keep up the good...

    Ultimate Marvel Timeline / Chronology (v 5.0)

    This being the fifth edition of the time line, I'm sure you've had this discussion before, but I've been rereading my marvel super hero stuff one more time before I head to college and a question on placement has come up. Ultimate War is listed as taking place after "The Ultimates" concludes...
