June 25, 2009 6:22 pm I think the movie was over-sexed, the pretender had poor CGI, the college scenes were awful, and the twins were too goofy looking.  The move was a dissapointment, but it had some pretty good parts.  I don't understand the over-sexed + raunchy language...this movie could have been such an easy homerun but they cheapened it!  I'll go with 3/5 stars.  I do LOVE the first one however...

A sage over at the marvel boards wrote this:

"USM will be relaunched as Ultimate Comics Spider-Man with Brian Michael Bendis and David LaFuente. Ultimate Comics Avengers will also begin with Mark Millar and Carlos Pacheco. Ultimate Comics Armor Wars is a 4 issue mini-series starting in September by Warren Ellis and Steve Kurth. New Ultimates has yet to be solicited, but will be by Jeph Loeb and Frank Cho. There is also a "fourth" title that's supposed to come out by Jeph Loeb and Art Adams, but we know nothing about it other than who's involved."

 Thats right, even more Loeb :o) /fail

June 18, 2009 4:40 pm @mikeromo - "it will all be over soon..." as long as you stay away from Ultimates 4 which Loeb is penning with Cho on pencils.  The story is supposed to take place before any of the Ultimate Comic stuff starts and will fill in Ultimatum gaps.  So basically its gonna be porn, trolls, and giant dialogue bubbles with high school curse words inside of them.  Im going to stay away from that book like its the plague.

I think we can all agree to that UFF and UXM wanned.  The biggest dissapointment was Ultimates 3 and the disappearance of Nick Fury to the Supremeverse.  I agree with you that USM IS the Ultimate Universe, but Nick Fury ranks right below him.  I'm still scratching my head over some of the neat stuff they put in Ultimate Origins and then it has no impact on Ultimates 3 or Ultimatum.

I like that Peter is going to be gone for a while.  He isn't dead.  His female clone is going to masquerade as USM so the world doesn't feel like it lost a hero.  I'm looking forward to a new cast, and a female Peter Parker view of high school.  Who do you think she will date?  More importantly, Ultimate Mysterio is awesome - I can't wait to see him, Ultimate Red Skull and the other villians BMB is going to unlesh.  At this point I don't care about the other Ultimate titles.

June 16, 2009 7:19 pm I'm not picking up the tpb because I have all the issues BUT for anyone reading this comment, if you haven't read this arc its pretty interesting and worth the read.  HOWEVER, it really didn't tie-in to ULTIMATUM as well as it should have.  Never-the-less, its a great addition to the Ultimate line and is essential if you haven't read spoilers.

June 15, 2009 6:22 pm USM is great, I welcomed Stuart Immonen's art.  However, UFF and UXM have been garbage for the past year so I'm only getting the USM requiems.  I have a feeling Pete won't be back for a long while and his female clone will be running the show instead.  However, she'll masquerade as Pete.
