Posted by big hungry joe on 2/20/2007, 1:44 pm, in reply to "Re: Meh" --Previous Message-- i don't even really give a damn about the new issue coming out in april. it's too long, and it's a straight up declaration of "we don't care enough about the fans to bother to put this book out on time". they've given up, so now have i.

: I fail to see how the fight that was a
: culmination of the pretty much all of
: Ultimates 2 was meaningless when it showed
: the heroes banding together, despite the
: fact families had been killed, they had been
: imprisoned etc. If anything it provided
: something lacking in other Ultimate titles -
: Action AND Characterisation. Ultimate
: Spider-Man has good scenes like in Issue
: 105, but the vast majority of the Clone Saga
: was meaningless Dross. It hurt to read.
:
: Ultimate X-men remains at the bottom of my
: pile, and is often only read when i have
: nothing else to do. It's simply not very
: good at all.
:
: Whereas Ultimates is, in my opinion, one of
: the few titles that actually consistantly
: puts out something that originally fulfilled
: it's brief. A Retelling of Classic
: characters updated for the modern world.
:
: How is time-travel, and alternate future
: selves, and various other things updated for
: the modern world? How is it even interesting
: when it's presented with Watered down
: artwork and poor dialogue.
:
: Ultimate Spider-man issues 103-104 were
: basically large fight scenes where very
: little information was gleemed, or
: characterisation.
:
: Ultimates Prodives both of those things,
: with Widescreen action and good characters.
: im prepared to wait to buy it, because i
: want to see how they finish it, i like the
: creative team, and yes, the delays are
: horrendus, but the story makes it worthwhile
: in my opinion.

: --Previous Message--
: Ultimates 2 has already been diluted and is
: a
: monstrous joke. And what are we waiting
: for? The previous issue was a meaningless
: fight scene. Wow. Glad I waited for THAT.
: I didn't read much Millar or Hitch
: pre-Ultimates and I'll be reading less from
: now on.

i think maybe the "culmination" of all of ultimates 2 would have meant more if we didn't have to wait 4 to 5 months for it. it is, after all, just a straight shot sequel of the issue before it. if they'd struck while the iron was still hot, it would have been great. but since we had to wait half a friggin year for it almost, it renders it meaningless.
