: I liked Fantastic Four; I generally always
: do, I like Mike Carey's work, and
: particularly enjoyed Ultimate Vision because
: of the central character, rather than the
: premise. The Thanos/Cosmic Cube thing has
: been going on for a while now.

Dropped it a while ago. The whole Thanos storyline just didn't appeal to me, and nothing really sparked me since then to pick it up again.

: Ultimate Iron Man v2, however, I only liked
: because of the art. The storyline, whilst
: trying to be a bit clever and a bit
: espionage, lost me from the second Issue. I
: never understand why people feel the need to
: involved A)Terrorists, and B) make them
: Islamic. England had huge problems with the
: IRA, and they, clearly, are not Islamic.
: Especially when the writer doesn't really
: have a clear handle on it besides "Oh
: Look. He lives in a Desert, lets strap a
: bomb to him and lob him into the
: plot.". So, Like the Art, the
: story...less So.

Here, I entirely agree with you. The Islamic terrorist angle was a major turnoff. Like you, I dropped it after issue 2.

: Ultimate Spider-Man - Another stonking
: issue. Really enjoyed this, although i was
: hoping they'd keep Liz around to round out a
: little teenager adventure team. I hope they
: reproduce that dynamic in later issues, the
: only problem with the story was the glaring
: Editorial omission that Nightcrawler was
: still on the damn team. Otherwise, Greatness
: prevails.

Agreed again.

: Ultimate X-Men - The Less said the better.
: The art isn't anywhere near as beautiful and
: polished looking as NewUniversal, In fact, i
: think it's back to Xtreme X-Men level, if
: not worse. The storyline, didn't make a huge
: amount of sense. Whack some Armor on the
: guys, give them "cool" names and
: lob them at Apocolypse, who is a very bad
: man. Oh and Phoenix is back. Good times.
: Not.

No idea what's going on here, and frankly, I no longer care.

: Ultimate Human - A talky issue, but a good
: one none the less. Ellis writes fantastic
: issues of talking, in my opinion, I'm sure
: some could say that he needs to put in more
: action, but Pete Wisdom of the Ultimate
: universe is every bit the bastard he should
: be. Looking forward to the next issue, and
: disappointed that it's coming towards the
: end. Ellis needs to write more Ultimate
: stuff.

Agreed again! I actually look forward to this series first, then Ultimate Spider-Man second, then nothing else.

There was actually a time where I honestly felt that they should just trash the entire MU and replace it with the far more superior UU. Now, my feeling is that the Ultimate Universe will die within the next 3 years entirely.

Such a shame. Bring Millar back!!!
