Anyone else liking this? Last month’s ending got me really excited for the next few issues.
no
So it’s just me, then? I guess I’ll go and talk to myself about it…
@colossus: Ha, I liked the set-up stories I read in Ultimate Fallout last summer, but I was trying to cut the number of $3.99 books I was buying when this series started, so I passed (same deal for Hickman’s Ultimates). I told myself I’d try it in trade, but I haven’t gotten around to buying it.
It seemed like Spencer was planning to take the Ultimate mutants into an entirely new direction. Has that been the case?
I have really been liking this book. But I thought I heard that Spencer was off of it soon. Do you know if that’s true?
Brian Wood is taking the book over with #13.
I’m definitely enjoying it quite a bit. I had checked out of the Ultimate universe for a while, so it took me a little while to really get into it and there was some stuff with Quicksilver in the middle that didn’t resonate with me, but the storylines focused on various X-Men have been pretty good. Basically one storyline has been following Kitty and the mutants with her (this one’s a little closer to standard X-stories, there’s a crazy religious guy who thinks mutants are the devil) and the other storyline has been following Jean and her team, which I find to be more complex and enjoyable. This most recent issue closed with a great change to the Ultimate Storm character (Spoiler Alert: If you’re a fan of the Paul Smith era Uncanny you’ll probably be pretty happy with the change), I’m really excited to see where it goes.
I think ultimately it’s a moving series because when things go wrong in the regular Marvel U the characters are adults or the kids have adults around. In these series most of them have to watch out for themselves. I’d definitely check it out, especially if you’re a big X-Fan (and I’m pretty sure from previous comments that read quite a few of the books).
I meant to write @Ken there and reply to the original thread, sorry. I don’t think that will be a huge deal as I’m assuming that this thread won’t get overrun with comments and my response won’t seem confusing (unless I mention the pros and cons of digital versus print, then all bets are off).
Thanks! I’m definitely an X-Fan, and an Ultimate X-Fan as well. I read the original volume until around 2007 (when it got reeeeally rough). I’ll definitely make a point of getting the first trade of this volume sooner rather than later.
I liked the first couple issues of this reboot. But I quickly got off track and into a bunch of stuff I wasn’t all too interested in. Didn’t think it was necessarily bad. Just not my thing.
Yes
This issue was a bit mediocre. The Colossus bit at the end was of a shock tactic along the lines of Millar making Hulk cannibalistic or Loeb making everyone cannibalistic or the FF finding a universe full of zombie superheros… huh, there seems to be a theme running here…
