Ultimate Central: The Fanfic - volume 6

The cover was good, the story... weird/unusual/strange/queer/boring.

I didn't find it as interesting as the first one. But good job anyway.
 
That was some craaaazzzy ****. Very Morrison-ey. I loved it (even though I'm not sure what actually happened).

And if next issue is the the return of Ultimate E, then it might be the return of Bass Lak Tus and that may be the return of the Heralds which would of course mean the return of MEEEEEE!!!
 
:?

People are confused as to what happened? Dang. I didn't think it was too hard to follow. I know the lurkers are not normal as they they are a literal nothing, but ignoring their bizarre nature, I thought the actual story itself was very simple, so I'll be very concise right now.

Ourchair led the team into cyberspace to tamper with the power battery of Ultimate Central - the part of UC that gave everyone powers (it had to come from somewhere).
In their tampering, they unleashed it's power - which is to give powers to anyone who had been on the UC site. In this case, that was localised to those present - only Compound had no powers. So he gained powers and that overrode Strangefate's curse of him being Pokey the crab.
They also unleased a weird force that traps them.
Marvelman makes a teleport gateway without paying attention to where it would go, and Compound and Widdle Wade manage to escape with him.
The destination is the Ultimate Central holding cells, my thinking that they are a 'dumping ground' of cyberspace, so an unspecified gateway would lead them there.
They meet Guijllons (who can fade in and out of reality) and they escape together.
Guijllons, because of his nature of being outside of reality can see the weird force as a gang of weird monsters - lurkers.
Widdle Wade frees Ourchair by taking his place in the throng of the Lurkers because Ourchair is the brains of the Brotherhood and he knows Ourchair can make a plan to save the team.
Ourchair then tells Marvelman to teleport them home (which will take time) and he frees Ultimate Quicksilver who is the only one capable of freeing each member of the Brotherhood simultaneously - which he does.
They teleport home using Marvelman's gateway and up in DSF's tower through his Extra-Planar door which connects to unreality, and since Marvelman's gateway was slicing between realities and he never finished, he would be in the limbo area between the two, and thus, in DSF's tower.
At the end we discover Ourchair took the team into cyberspace for an ulterior reason (which we don't know) and he and Compound are up to something.
We also discover that a red star has appeared in the sky, and no one has yet to notice.

Perhaps I should've been clearer. Well, "The Revenge of Ultimate E" is wonderfully simple.

Thanks for the comments, all. :)
 
Man, I loved it.

I didn't find it hard to follow either, but maybe the way you described the reality where the action happens was too convulted (because the reality was convulted) and for some readers, confusing.

And loved the fact that Ourchair and Compound are up to something bigger. Here waiting for DSF to go down :wink: :twisted:.

Thanks for clearing that up. The only part I didn't quite get was the Ourchair and Compound conversation at the end.
 
Glad you liked it, Bigby. Stay tuned - you may have a particular interest in #45...

Wow, it was weird. Yet, in that good Twilight Zone or Dark City kinda way.

I can't wait to see what Ourchair and Compound have up their sleeves, either 8).

:rockon: :rockon: :rockon: :rockon: :rockon:
 
Totally awesome!!!
Loved the way you described the whole twisted dimension and the lurkers, can't wait to see more!
I loved the art too, I'm so cool

I liked it. Tied into my run with the whole Guij and I felt like I was breathing in some of DirishB's good stuff when I read it.

I think those analogies are very appropriate.


I liked this issue Bass. It definitly wasn't straightforward, but given the subject matter and your writing style it shouldn't have been. It was a strange, new direction to take the UC fics, but an appropriate one, in my opinion. I really liked the issue, and really look forward to the next one. Ultimate E's returning...hmmmmmm.

It's not a direction! I'm returning to good ol' comedy next issue (yeah, like E has ever been a serious threat). I'm sick of you people destroying my art by saying its complicated! It was simple! SIMPLE! Weird alien monsters that eat you (but have no mouths) and don't exist. They're invisible, make you blind, deaf, and numb all your senses, remove you from reality and kill you. SIMPLE!

Umm... I mean... "The story got away from me. Mine's better. That's not how I see it. I love wasting the potential of pre-existing 616 characters by introducing them into the ultimate universe, intentionally making them suck, then claiming that because I intend to make my characters suck, it means my stories are better than those the character originally appeared in. I saw some people on the internet bashing Watchmen which means I'm justified in writing bull****."

It was a compliment, simple is not always best.
