I’m two for two with reading comics that don’t normally contain vampires which are, this month, infested with them.  Guess I should read X-Men #2 next to complete the undead hat trick.

Millar has been cranking out these Ultimate Avenger books.  He has now written thirteen issues of Ultimate Avengers to Jeph Loeb’s four issues of The Ultimates.  No wonder he doesn’t have time to put out Nemesis (I’m joshing you Mark, please continue to write The Ultimates in a timely fashion and take your sweet time with your wet fart of a creator owned book.)

I haven’t absolutely loved Millar’s execution of his recent Ultimate arcs, but they’ve all started well and ended quickly and unawfully.  This series is right on pace with bringing in new characters to the Ultimate Universe, while playing off of Millar’s previous arcs.  In this issue we’re introduced to Blade (who cameoed in Ultimate Spidey a ways back) and a brand new Ultimate Daredevil (not that sulky ninja-lover, Matt Murdock).  The plot gets going right away, and we’re presented with a game changing twist before the issue ends.

Also, Steve Dillon draws some mean vampire superheroes.  Anyone want to wager how long it will be before the Ultimate Vampires end up fighting the Marvel Zombies?
