Missy Posted September 24, 2004 Report Share Posted September 24, 2004 Anyone else excited about the December release of new series? From what I've heard, the first six issues will be monthly. After that, well... who knows? Either way, this is going to rock so damn hard! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elevenball Posted September 27, 2004 Report Share Posted September 27, 2004 If Marvel can release six issues over twelve months I'll be impressed. The Ultimates Year Two should be splendid. I've heard among other things that Captain America and Wasp are now an item. What I would like to see happen is someone knock the shit out of Captain America. He's a fucking jingoistic bastard, and the biggest prick in the Ultimate universe. I'd also like to see more on Ultimate Thor. He's the biggest mystery in the Ultimates thus far. Plus, with his seemingly new-agey and pacifist roots, Thor and Captain America should be naturals to come into conflict. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheap Heat Posted October 14, 2004 Report Share Posted October 14, 2004 Really? Henry Pym is my most hated. I don't see how Captain America can be more hated than him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drubot Posted October 14, 2004 Report Share Posted October 14, 2004 Really? Henry Pym is my most hated. I know. Fucking wife beating bastard. I was fucking cheering when Capt beat the shit out of Giant Man. Also, is anyone reading Ultimate Nightmare? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat DJ Posted February 15, 2005 Report Share Posted February 15, 2005 Sorry to bump this, but I just finished reading the Ultimates, and goddamn, I've been missing out. I haven't picked up any of Year Two yet, but it looks like that may have to become a priority. What I would like to see happen is someone knock the shit out of Captain America. Well, SPOILERS Hulk and that Super Skrull Nazi whooped the holy fuck out of him. END SPOILERS Anyway, I agree, he does need a really, really good ass-kicking, but more or less to take him down from the "Impossible to harm" character they have going. He's a fucking jingoistic bastard, and the biggest prick in the Ultimate universe. I don't know, he seems quite grounded. Morally conservative? Hell yes. The French thing (best line in comics ever) is echoed by many today, and he came right out of Nazi Germany into modern day-he's bound to be biased against the Germans. Fuck, a lot of our grandparents probably are, too. Also, have the Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver done anything at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drqshadow Posted February 16, 2005 Report Share Posted February 16, 2005 I haven't bought the first volume yet, but I'm loving the hell out of issues 1, 2 and 3 of volume 2 right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tglancy Posted February 17, 2005 Report Share Posted February 17, 2005 The end of issue 3 was freaking great and set up so much potential for later on down the road. This might be the best book Marvel puts out every month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ragernok2002 Posted July 25, 2005 Report Share Posted July 25, 2005 Sorry for the bump but did anybody read issue 7, it was awesome. Any ideas on who is the traitor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drqshadow Posted August 23, 2005 Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 I'm thinking it's the Black Widow. Just a hunch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Marv Posted August 28, 2005 Report Share Posted August 28, 2005 I guess I should give a spoiler warning, so here it is. I just finished issue 7. It can't be Black Widow, can it? After all, doesn't the traitor say it's not the country it once believed in. I hardly think an ex-KGB super-spy ever really believed in America in the first place. The way I see it, it's one of two people. Nick Fury, or Captain America. Everything that points to Cap happens in issue #6. He blows up at Hank for absolutely no reason at Triskelion, why so edgy? I know they aren't the best of friends, but still. Also, in the final shot "We crippled a nation this morning," the only Ultimate actually drawn is Captain America. Captain Britain and one of the other Euro guys, as well as some of the Giant men are drawn, but Cap is the only Ultimate. Plus, they've been drilling in the age difference, and there was the whole scene in the nightclub with Thor. Working against him is that he probably has absolutely no idea how to use a computer, and wouldn't have sacrificed Banner. Nick is hinted at when they're discussing the Ultimates and who they're bringing in. When it says "Guess who they're phasing out?" it shows Fury. Fury doesn't seem like the kind of person who'd take that lightly. He did have access to all of that stuff, and would sacrifice Banner. I guess it could also be Stark, but why, other than the reasons the traitor gave Pym? It doesn't make any sense. It can't be Hawkeye, obviously, nor Wanda, Pietro, or Thor. I'd eliminate Wasp too, as I doubt Steve would let her go back to Hank's place, as she was pretty worried about going to lunch with him. So yeah...Rogers, Fury, or Stark. If I had to pick now...I'd say it's most likely Fury, then Stark, then Captain. Wait a second...could it be Banner? He'd certainly know he was the Hulk, and somebody called Pym, thanking him...and it was Pym who made the Serum...and he does have control over the Hulk. Just how would he get soldiers though? Anyway, now that I've officially over-analyzed this...I can't wait for issue #8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragernok2002 Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 It definately not Widow or Stark because an upcoming issue deals with their wedding. I'm leaning towards Cap or Fury with Loki's interfence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drqshadow Posted December 10, 2005 Report Share Posted December 10, 2005 ----THAR BE SPOILERS----- I'm thinking it's the Black Widow. Just a hunch. I'm not usually one to say I told you so, but... yeah. Four months ahead of time and I had this ish solved. I'm better than Batman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragernok2002 Posted December 14, 2005 Report Share Posted December 14, 2005 I had some of it right, Loki being involved. Who were the guys on the last page, One was Dynmo but who was the guy in red with the lightsaber and the others like the guy with thors hammer?

drqshadow Posted September 28, 2006 Report Share Posted September 28, 2006 Once again, that be spoilers. You've been warned. 12 issues in 2 years! They made it! I enjoyed issue 12, though it felt a little too much like the heroes had been holding back to keep things interesting, and finally decided to cut loose. A LOT of ass-kicking this issue, a lot of death, and a lot of finality. Thor returning to the team at the Scarlet Witch's behest wasn't quite the mark-out moment that I thought it was going to be, but the Iron Man 6 armor more than made up for it. Stark piloting a fucking low-flying space station?! While drunk?!? Good times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted September 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2006 As much as I enjoyed the craziness (especially Quicksilver destroying The Hurricane, The Hulk putting his fist through Abomination's face and Wasp growing giant to squash Swarm), the art in the first half of the book was not Hitch's best work. It seemed very rough, maybe even rushed. I know he's under a lot of pressure to finish the book, and issue 13 is solicited for a November release so that's good, but he had months upon months to complete this. Every line should have been his best. There's absolutely no reason for those pages to look as they do. I hope Marvel corrects the rough spots before it's collected in one volume later next year.
