Best way to describe this... WTF?

I will usually will defend Mark Millar because I believe "Wanted" and "Superman: Red Son" are two of the finest graphic novel work I have ever read and made me hopelessly devoted to Mark Millar.  This issue of Avengers vs New Ultimates is putting that devotion to the test.

After Loeb did a fine job of ruining the Ultimate Universe (harsh language but it was painful to read and turned me off to all things Ultimate for awhile) I was liking Millar slowly rebuilding the Ultimate Universe, but then brought it all down with the a couple issues into vampires versus superheroes.  Reading this issue, I just was like "WHAT?!? Did I miss something?" I refuse to read Loeb's New Ultimates, so maybe, but this really seemed like a giant clusterf*@#.  When did the other Stark brother develop compassion? That scene was painful. Matter of fact, most of this was painful, and if it were not my loyalty to Millar, I would have dropped this book immediately.

Also, I know it will be said time and time again... Death of Ultimate Spider Man happened where in this book? Oh that is right, it did not, nor is it referenced.

THE ONLY SAVING GRACE - THE ART! I like Yu a lot. It is a taste thing. I fell in love with him on New Avengers with Bendis and he is one of the people who really had me noticing art more in the comics I am reading.  The final page of Nick Fury was bad ass as Nick Fury should ALWAYS be. I'd like to see that Nick Fury take on the Nick Fury featured on the cover of New Avengers #9. So It was Yu alone who saved this book from being a 2, and I gave it a very generous 3 because of the art.

Please let this get better... Or make more sense. Or leave continue to leave Ultimate Spider Man out of this.
