The first issue was boring, but I really liked the second one. I'm going to give it a 2 out of 3 try, but I might end up dropping it because it's Millar and I don't feel like waiting 7 months between issues.
Posted by Slockhart on 10/26/09 at 03:10 PMBut this has been coming out on schedule, hasn't it?
Posted by OttoBott on 10/26/09 at 03:24 PMI've been enjoying everything in the new Ultimate titles so far. At the moment this one is my favorite.
Posted by DarthDuck on 10/26/09 at 03:42 PM@Slockhart It's stupid to blame Millar. From what I've read, he seems to write all his scripts months or in some cases, years before they begin being illustrated. He just happens to do a lot of work with artists not exactly reknown for keeping to regular schedules (Hitch, Harris, McNiven).
Posted by BoneMachine on 10/26/09 at 07:38 PMThe schedule of this has been up to scratch - plus it's just big-budget, summer movie fun. I don't look for depth from Millar, just enjoyment.
Posted by Selfstyler on 10/27/09 at 04:39 AMDon't his books always stay on schedule for the first few issues? And I'm not necessarily blaming him, just pointing out a common trend.
I'm surprised I pulled this book at all, really. The best Millar I've ever read was "okay at best," so maybe that's why I'm looking for a reason to drop this.
Posted by Slockhart on 10/27/09 at 07:56 AMI really hate that cover, looks too much like greg land, but the art on the inside has been so good that i can forgive Carlos, but just this once
Posted by RoiVampire on 10/27/09 at 01:31 PMThis issue was okay. I think I liked the first two better.
Posted by Bryce31 on 10/28/09 at 05:51 PMThe story was good, but every character felt like they were written as a 13 year old's perception of a badass, even more so than usual, and it really got on my nerves. I think I'll have to drop it.
Posted by Slockhart on 10/28/09 at 11:12 PMInteresting. This did feel a little over the top in places. I wish I could give it a high 3 instead of a 4.
Posted by PraxJarvin on 10/29/09 at 04:47 PMMy LCS didn't get their copies of this issue.
Related: Neither did I.
Posted by thehorseman on 10/29/09 at 05:17 PMI liked it. I think this is my favourite issue so far. I'm interested in the new characters, especially Rhodes and his Transformer.

What about Kickass? Doesn't that come out once every reincarnation of the Dhali Lama in spite of the oft timely pencils JRJR?
@ProjectX2: I agree with everything yu just said. Rhodes was the best part of the issue.
Posted by JesTr on 10/31/09 at 01:22 PMThink I'm done on this one. Loved the story idea in the first issue couldn't have cared less for the last two. Cant afford to keep pouring $4 down the drain.
Posted by astyak on 10/31/09 at 03:12 PMI loved it. I know its the comic version of the big budget action movie but that's just fine with me. Pumped about this new team and looking forward to learning more about them, especially War Machine and "Spider-Man". I'm really enjoying the new Ultimate books.
Posted by DarthDuck on 11/01/09 at 04:42 PMI have let to really decide what I think.
Posted by theegreatone on 11/01/09 at 05:34 PMI'm tired of yet-another cast of replacements.
Posted by Urthona on 11/02/09 at 11:57 AMPacheco's artwork is amazing! I love his panels with Captain America doing acrobatics.
Posted by yyzKyle on 11/08/09 at 11:26 AMNerd hulk....boob job...this is the sound of one writer coasting. At one point I stopped reading and just looked at the pictures, much better!

I think this issue needs to impress me or it's dropped.
