And this just got posted as the other cover. Gives us an answer as to what Magneto's gonna be up to now, anyway.

Yeah, I think it's Hawkeye too. But Hawkeye taking on a more Bullseye-ish persona..althought I didn't know Bullseye's already made an appearance in Ultimate-land, so perhaps I have no idea what I'm talking about. EDIT - And I thought it looked like Valkyrie too, but she's already made an appearance as an absolute joke, so who knows.

*Spoilers if you aren't caught up* After all the delays on the Ultimates 2 series, I thought I had gotten it all out of my system..but I broke down and bought the trade, and now I'm back in love with it again. Then I find out that Jeph Loeb and Joe Madureira are taking over...and I'm REAL excited. Couple things I'm particularly interested in - Don't know who the blond guy with the guns is, but my bet it's Hawkeye. Is there an Ultimate Bullseye yet? Hawkeye's been shown to have Bullseye-type accuracy with pretty much anything in this universe, and after what happened to his family, I can definitely buy him freaking out, getting what looks like a bulleye branded on his forehead, and moving to guns. Spidey on the cover. Fury always said he'd be joining the Ultimates when he was old enough, but that was when the Ultimates were under SHIELD's jurisdiction. I have no clue when this is going to start coming out, we'll probably hear sometime this weekend, but I'm really fired up.

I like that they used that classic Green Lantern/Green Arrow cover, even if they cropped it so that only Lantern's in it.

Yeah so since I've actually read these, I feel I can put some feeback in. Good review. I pretty much agree with everything you said, especially the feeling that this was a Wolverine story as opposed to a Logan one or Howlett. Did you get the idea that Wolverine was a little too powerful, though? I'm not sure I did. I can kinda get behind the idea that if he was brainwashed into doing a job and having absolutely no compunctions about doing it, he could actually tear through as many people as he does. Good job with this review.

Hallllllll Jordan. I think he epitomized the role the best, used the ring in the best ways, had the strongest character (until that whole Parallax business). Picked him.

Onslaught Age of Apocalypse I think they're pretty good. In fact, I think this site's pretty good in general.

Box? Like what do I do, say "Yo I want a box?"

So now I've got 2 jobs and more money than I need. I could just keep buying clothes and alcohol, but I wanna get back into buying comics. I guess I could try and find time to get to a comic store each month or 2 weeks or whenever, but is it worth it to order a subscription? Back in the day it seemed like subscriptions saved you a ton of money, but I don't know how it works exactly. Or is it cheaper to just buy trade paperbacks? Anybody got some advice?

DJ's right. But even assuming they'd fight all out, Sue could dominate the fight with her invisibility powers. Not to mention stuff like putting forcefields in his lungs and stuff.

I'm liking the Thing. Basically, I can't think of a way that Mr. Fantastic can drop Ben. I think Ben's brute strength is going to be able to carry him through any efforts to tie him up or beat him down, and eventually, Ben's gonna catch Reed with a shot that knocks him out. Reed dominates the early rounds, but if Ben hits Reed square ONCE it's over. I've got enough faith in the Thing's ability to take a beating to say that he's gonna have enough time to throw a lucky punch.

The whole tournament's a walk for Sue if you ask me. Sue turned Wolverine's optic nerves invisible once, blinding him. No sight + no oxygen for flames= no Human Torch, son.

And I'm the biggest Flash mark in the world in the first place, so I've been sweating it out for the last few episodes. Like when he says "I'll lead a team to help the people at ground zero" I'm freaking out... and then the SPEED FORCE! Wow. Love this show. "I've got a seat at the big conference table! I'm gonna paint my logo on it!"

I picked Fantastic Four because I think there's a lot more to write about and review there, instead of Back to the Future. FF's had an impact in comics and now has a movie out that can be reviewed... BttF week would just been 3 reviews of movies that came out years ago. I'm not as interested.

I read an interview with Dwayne McDuffie on the JLAnimated.com forums where he KINDA confirms a 5th season. Everybody on that board seems sure there'll be a 5th, to the point where people who ask "where do you get that from?" get laughed at. Just got "Divided We Fall".... RIDICULOUS! I'll avoid spoilers but seriously, holy shit. I never marked out that hard for anything but wrestling in my LIFE.

Awesome posts guys. Thanks a lot!

Basically, how does it work in general. I'm reading the Uncanny X-Men Vol 2 collection, and on Jean Grey's tombstone it reads 1956-1980. Which makes me think "hey she was 24 when she died" which makes me think "if she was 24 in 1980, then she was a damn good looking 44 year old". So obviously time doesn't work exactly right, but how does it work? Do writers get to choose what time of year it is to fit the story? Is it an editor's choice? What's up?

Yeah this is some crazy, crazy shit. Is there gonna be a 5th season? I've read some speculation on some different forums, but I haven't read anything that seemed really set in stone.

Can I use my best judgement to describe what Year One Batman would be like, or would I have to have seen Batman Begins or read Batman: Year One to make an accurate case?

Just downloaded that episode. This show is fucking RIDICULOUS. This is the best cartoon I've ever watched. Christ, this is good. Someone needs to tell me when this airs in America, or send me to where I can download it. This weeks show, with Huntress and the Question, Double Date, was off the hook and this sounds about 30 times better. Best freaking show on TV, animated or otherwise. I got mine off of Bearshare. Sound quality wasn't awesome, but it's not terrible, just sounds like static behind everything. I'd send you it over AIM, but I'm on a 56k dialup. So each episode takes around a day to download.

Maybe in Yoda's prime he'd have won, but Yoda isn't in his prime during these movies. Yoda's stronger in the force, but Obi-Wan's got the better lightsaber skills, and the better win-loss record. Only thing Yoda's got going for him is his ability to throw things with the Force. Like somebody else said, Obi's got problems with that.

I'd trade maple syrup for Justice League episodes. These new ones are fucking AWESOME.

The one big advantage I think Luke has over Yoda is heart. I really think Yoda just gave in during his fight against Sidious. Yoda was falling off that floating balcony thing, and then basically went "Welp, I guess I'll go to Dagobah now". Luke had that "never give up" in him, that I think could carry him against Yoda. He went after Darth Vader when EVERYBODY told him he was gonna lose in Empire, and really took the fight to him. Then, in Jedi, he had the same spirit, that same heart. I really think that gives him an advantage over Yoda. Plus, I wasn't all that impressed with Yoda's lightsaber skills, overall. It looked good, but he only fought Dooku to a standstill. Dooku later got beat BAD by Anakin Skywalker, who wasn't even at Darth Vader skill level. Then you take into account that Luke beat Vader, and I'd say Luke's got the better lightsaber skill. So I'd say that adds up to a hard fought victory for Luke Skywalker.

This really makes me lean towards Luke. I've just seen Episode III (which is why I haven't been posting or voting in this tourney), so I saw the fight with Yoda and Mace. I don't really think Sidious allowed Mace to get the upper hand, first off. There wasn't any way to let Mace get the advantage without disfiguring yourself in the process? If you're THAT much better than Mace that you think you can play around with him until Anakin shows up, and then look vulnerable, I'd think you'd come up with a better way than that. The Yoda fight, he had the high ground as Yoda said, and Yoda kinda gave up, if you ask me. I'm going with Luke.
