Ultimate Comics Spider-Man (discussion/spoilers)

Oh my god, this book is really turning into Spidey:heart:MJ!!!

Yaaaaaaaaay!!!!

 

[Zeek]

no, the art still sucks

But not AS MUCH, is my point.

They don't all look like 12-year-olds now.

It is more consistent. I agree with that.

I still don't care for the style. It's an improvement, at least.

I thought Rick Jones was chosen by the watchers to protect the world from Ultimatum...

no, he was chosen by the watchers to stop everyone from bringing back the electric slide

Was it said that the purpose was to prevent Ultimatum? I don't remember reading that.

I thought Rick Jones was chosen by the Watchers to -- FIND OUT IN ULTIMATUM

I thought Rick Jones was chosen by the Watchers to -- FIND OUT IN ULTIMATUM

That's kind of what I thought it was supposed to be, although I'm firmly convinced they had no idea when they would make the reveal.

 

[Captain Canuck]

oh, so the actual phrase is that the watchers are picking "a herald to help you with your new world order."

i guess that's rather ambiguous.

**** the naysayers! This was awesome!!!!
Aunt may just kicked the awesome into overdrive! She's the new charlie X! The ultimate universe is somehow cool again!

 

[Captain Canuck]

i actually thought this was one of the weaker issues since the "relaunch" or whatever.

Mostly just because the main focus of the issue was to remind us of Ultimate Origins and catch us up with Rick Jones.

It just wasn't super interesting.




And why was Bobby wearing short shorts?

Is this true? I actually like that idea a lot for some reason... I hope she doesn't have to get too confrontational with the likes of Magneto and the Bro'hood but I think it reinvigorates a tired character.

I think she is probably more like a happy medium between 616 Jarvis and old school Xavier... She is taking in troubled young superheroes, and the book is slowly turning into the best answer to the Teen Titans I think marvel has produced, particularly since the Young Avengers don't particularly operate as a solid mirror to the Titans...

Spider-Man, Spider-Woman (maybe), Iceman, The Human Torch, Kitty Pryde, and (potentially) Rick Jones as an associate... It's a great group of young heroes, and it's rooted in nothing that has come before it. I haven't been this excited by the entire separate nature of the Ultimate Universe in ages.

That would be a cool concept...if it wasn't Aunt May bringing them together.

I couldn't agree more.

I liked it well enough, the humorous parts kept me entertained.

And why was Bobby wearing short shorts?

What kind of monster doesn't like short shorts!?

 

[robje]

So is Rick Jones gonna be Ultimate Sentry?
I'm not basing it on much, but he is glowing golden, and it looks like Sentry's face on the watcher post.

 

[vmenge]

For some reason I thought the whole Detroit thing really amusing

 

[nigma]

this will be one of my lasts post in this thread, im sorry. i can't do it anymore. i liked whiny peter parker, because it still had that darker tone. this is too happy go lucky, lets give everyone a hug type deal......that and the art......bobby looked like a frozen porcupine, or ice sonic the hedgehog.

enjoy

im going to go spend my time tracking down Jay Faerber and pay him to explain the origin of Winter (Noble Causes, V2 #25)

 

[Captain Canuck]

excellent...
now if we could just get rid of E the rest of us could enjoy this comic in peace.
