Crap. Some of the facial expressions are terrible and look like a 6th grader drew them.
 
I hate Adam Kubert's art. But Andy's is alright.

...I rather enjoy these nice, generalized racial slurs, but I've never even heard anyone suggest that before. What an odd person you are.

You have no idea. I have a talent for those racial slurs and random animal sex comments. Its a gift.

Its ok. Nothing super-impressive, but better than Kaare Andrews anyway. Though admittedly I won't say its better than Immonen's, just because his strange style is starting to grow on me. Kubert's is just...ehhh. Too plain in a way. Certainly competent and gets the job done, clearly accomplished and does a great job of moving the story along, just nothing spectacular.

Wow, not only does he despise the story he's gunning for the artist now. Least your consistent. ;)
 
At least this art isn't as bad as the art used in the Dr. Strange arc for UMTU. That stuff sucked :sick:

Yeah, that was very...um, particular? Without being defined? I wasn't a fan of it either at all.

Sometimes I couldn't tell where the character ended and the ****ing background Began!

I wondered why Spider-Man looked like DC's the Scarecrow. The art was like a cross between Sam Keith and a pre-schooler's stick drawings on LSD.

Or an orangutang put paint in it's poop and splotched it on the page! :p
 
Ok, so I'm wondering. What exactly is so bad about Card's writing? I mean, if this was a completly new character, rather than one with a "established" back story, would it really be so bad? Because, I really like the story. I think its well writen, and when I started reading the Ultimate books, I was hoping for more stories like this, with a large divergance from the 616 characters, new characters, new stories, the like. Anyway, that's just my $.02

Its the fact that he felt the need to explain Tony's intelligence in a very not believable way. As I said if he really had brain tissue all over his body he should be something of a God-like character as opposed to just really smart and techno-savvy. Two, he totally ignored just about everything that was previously written about the character, basically poo-pooing on every other writer who wrote the character before he did. I agree about the Ultimate versions being different, but not once they've already been established in the Ultimate universe. Its a bit late to go changing things once the character has already been Ultimized. But not in Card's opinion obviously. Point is he could have gone about this a thousand other ways, without screwing up previous continuity and without the story itself being such crap. His mom was bit by a monkey? Its crap.
