Ultimatum series discussion [spoilers]

Who cares?

Yep.

I don't even feel bad that I don't care anything about this. And what's worse, in the past I would have felt bad that I didn't feel bad about not caring about it, but I don't.

Is there anyone anywhere that is actually enjoying this? The poor quality of the writing isn't even appalling; it's just unfathomable. I didn't know companies could publish something written this poorly.

I think people enjoy this on a train wreck level, you want to look away, but you can't.

Issue 4 preview: Peter Parker dies

http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=preview&id=2709&disp=table

Might be the worst death scene ever written.

What a pile of **** this is.

So Parker is dead... Damn you Loeb, damn you. No wonder Bendis has seem bitter for the last few months. One day you will pay for this loeb, one of these days you will pay for what you have done! May Ssmole and his "Allegiance of Heroes" avenge his death.
 
OK, not going into the fact that Loeb killed off the best loved guy from the Ultimate Universe for no good reason...

"Spider-Man sacrificed himself to stop you..."

No, he didn't. He blundered into Hulk's mistake. He's the flagship character of the UU, Spider-Man at least deserved to go out in a blaze of spidery glory. But no, he just dies and nothing comes from it but shock value. You can't just try and paint that as heroic, Loeb.

(Oh, hey, I went into it anyway without realizing. Ah well.)

And what is Dormammu doing here? And how did he get Johnny if he was supposed to be sealed?

Okay. Now hold on. I think Peter's gonna be okay.

Yes, Bendis has been cryptically hinting that the new series would set up a new status quo and everything, even implying that Peter might not be Spidey at that point. But this is from the company that knows how to spin a news cycle bait-and-switch. The whole ad campaign for Secret Invasion toward the end seemed to blatantly suggest the Skrulls would win, so I'm dubious of anything that anyone says or implies in the press about anything big.

Plus, there's no way Marvel would allow something that huge to be spoiled in a preview like that. Let's not forget that Cap and Thor also "died" in Ultimatum, and they are going to wind up just fine. Hell, even Daredevil might come back. I wouldn't put it past Loeb to have some stupid reset button for the end of the series.

Anyway, like I said, I'll believe it when I see it. And if I see it, then I'll build a time machine and go back and kick Loeb's dad in the nards so he will never be born and nothing he's done will ever exist. I will retcon his a**.

Yeah, now that the rage has passed, this seems pretty likely to me.
 
I hope you people aren't still buying this.
