Luring Jeph Loeb to Marvel was probably one of the worst decisions Marvel ever made. I swear with the amount of shit he puts out, he has to be some sort of DC double agent who is there to destroy them from within.

>can't get into a threeway with the twins >friendzoned by Cap Is there a more tragic figure in the medium than Ultimate Janet?
Jaxon Howard
You know, when it's accurate I remember back in the day people would blame Loeb for all these, glad to see that's changed because there's a lot you can blame on him, but he actively worked in retcons like Thor's armoury to try to fix these
What the fuck is wrong with Wasp? This isn't an old man not understanding gay people or whatever. Incest was a thing in the 1940s, and it was seen just as badly then as it is now. Incest is one of the few forms of sexual attraction that absolutely nobody is trying to normalize outside of porn that nobody ever admits to watching.
Another point to make is that it's really cold, so why the fuck isn't she covering herself more? Does she want to freeze to death in the New York winter?
It doesn't make any sense, its fucking snowing outside. At least every girl in the story is insanely hot though
Mason Wood
This is the set-up for Ultimatum, yes.
Blake Adams
Reference. Loeb loves doing this stuff, in Ultimate X we see a guy that looks like Namor from that old Fantastic Four issue where Johnny finds him with a beard
>Or maybe it's all an act to mess with you No, you're crazy alright. You could have just calmly asked Spider-Man about Venom, but instead started shooting him for no reason.
>I hate you I would too, Spidey's lucky nobody found him and unmasked/killed him in those 20 minutes he was on the floor. Or he didn't freeze to death. Everyone's an asshole in Ultimate except Spider-Man, why is that?
Hmmm, who would be more valuable in solving Wanda's murder? The Ultimates; who have a bunch of government contacts, billionaires, trained soldiers, and gods; or a Terrorist Organization that lives in Antarctica?
>Didn't you used to belong to the terrorist organization that just attacked us? How can we trust you? >YOUR FAMILY IS DEAD Fuck you, Logan. I can't believe you're making me side with Mr. Shooty McShooterson over here.
That's not a sick burn, it's just being an asshole. A sick burn would be something like "Yeah, and you didn't use to wear Target product placement on your forehead".
>"A kind of love that no one in this room can really understand." >"I was creepily watching them fuck for hours" What the fuck is wrong with Loeb?
Nolan Long
I don't know if I'm making a controversial statement here, but I think Ultimate Captain America Annual is actually good and I really like Ultimate T'Challa
Oh yeah, come to think of it, Ultimate Magneto suddenly has his 616 color scheme, but switches right back to his original Ultimate color scheme in Ultimatum.
I knew it was coming and I'm still mad. Loeb knew Logan was part of the Brotherhood and was aware that Blob made cannibal jokes (hence "taste like chicken" scene) so there's no way he couldn't have known that Ultimate Pyro is a decent guy. This is straight-up character assassination. Worst thing is that Pyro never even got a chance for redemption because in public eye there are few things worse than a rapist, so he's just reduced to this cartoonishly evil faggot and forgotten about after Ultimates 3.
Expecting a Loeb comic to make sense is like expecting a modern Adams comic to make sense
Dominic Long
>I knew that by killing Wanda, her father would be enraged Wait, he just said it was a crime of passion, now he's saying it's all according to keikaku?
>You taught me that parents are ALWAYS protective of their children Except that we've already established that Magneto was a fucking asshole who tried to kill his own children multiple times himself.
>It was...is...and will always be...DOOM who pulls the strings Spoiler alert: it later turned out that this wasn't the real Doctor Doom at all, but Sue and Johnny's mother pretending to be Doctor Doom.
You know, after the two fake deaths for Hank I wonder if people thought he'd be back again after this
Wyatt Peterson
Loeb gets the sole blame for Ultimatum, but in reality it was written by a committee of Loeb, Millar, Ellis, Bendis, Paniccia, Snakovitch, Buckley, and Quesada,
>Loeb gets the sole blame for Ultimatum, but in reality it was written by a committee of Loeb, Millar, Ellis, Bendis, Paniccia, Snakovitch, Buckley, and Quesada, Too be fair, it seems like Loeb either changed or misrepresented things. There's no way Bendis signed off on Pete getting randomly killed by Dormmamu.
How bad is Humpries Ultimates. I mean he wrote Green Lanterns and the recent Dial H for Hero
Brayden Young
So what's the TL;DR of what happens after this?
Jaxson Howard
They don't make these doombots like they used to.
Jack Edwards
It seems that he sucks at anything non-DC? Especially his indies.
Zachary Davis
Mutant concentration camps across the world Magneto and Scarlet Witch come back to life (maybe) Kitty Pryde becomes Nelson Mandela Mark Millar comes back to Ultimate Avengers, which is basically Ultimate Ultimates Reed kills a bunch of people (twice) Rogue becomes a lesbian with a sapient plant
Matthew Rogers
I think it's worse than Loeb's, you won't believe it's the same writer It turns out that Wanda along with a reincarnated Xavier, Magneto, and Cyclops are the horsemen of Apocalypse sent from the universe that was erased when Jean used the Pheonix force but then Nick Spencer was taken off of UXM and Brian Wood had zero desire to tell that story so it went nowhere. >John Carter: The Gods of Mars >Avengers A.I. >Planet Hulk >Sacrifice He has some good non-DC stuff
Tyler Bailey
Thanks dudes. I might read the rest out of morbid curiosity. It's so stupid dumb.
Nathan Lee
>John Carter: The Gods of Mars I'll try this, thanks.
Zachary Gutierrez
There are a handful of good-post-Ultimatum stories too, like Ultimate Armor Wars
Evan Perry
>concentration camps According to what definition???
Jackson Allen
Any other recommendations? Armor Wars was pretty dope.
Charles Wood
It always bothered me that the guy whose power is fucking teleporting somehow didn’t teleport away
Liam Ward
>Ultimate Comics: Spider-Man (obviously, but it turns to shit after Catclysm) >Ultimate Comics: Armor Wars >Ultimate Comics: Avengers 1-4 (not good, but fun as shit) >Ultimate Comics: X (Loeb's best Ultimate book) >Ultimate Comics: Thor >Ultimate Comics: Captain America >Ultimate Comics: Fallout (sets up my personal favorite era of Ultimate) >Ultimate Comics: Hawkeye >Ultimate Comics: X-Men by Nick Spencer >Ultimate Comics: The Ultimates by Jonathan Hickman >Ultimate Comics: The Ultimates by Joshua Hale Fialkov >Hunger (sets up Cataclysm, but is great) >Cataclysm #0.1 (part of Fialkov's run) >Cataclysm: Ultimates (part of Fialkov's run) >Cataclysm: Ultimate X-Men (part of Fialkov's run) >Ultimate FF (final part of Fialkov's run)
Kayden Morgan
Thanks a bunch. Made my weekend!
Jason Russell
Where the hell did Sabertooth get that hang glider?
Steve and Thor are such good bros even in this universe
Adam Morris
Thats really it? Jesus.
Jaxson Nelson
He got better
Daniel Cox
God fuck, Ultron is completely in the right if Scarlet Witch looks like that
Daniel Ward
a moment in history
Jaxon Davis
But he's an angry skeleton
Lucas Parker
Cyclops is a fucking retard who forgets that he can just close his eyes. How did Magneto open Cyclops' eyelids? Cyke could also just take off his visor with his hands if Magneto controlling it was such a problem.
Owen Ortiz
>I-I don't think I'm strong enough >Does it immediately without any problem
Juan Edwards
Most based part of the story unironically,
Luke Moore
Quicksilver looks like a fucking corpse
Owen Kelly
Don't they have forcefield tech? Or at least those bulletproof glass things politicians use?
Camden Robinson
Who are these copy Ultimates? Clones or robots?
Andrew Sanchez
It sounds like both but it isn't well explained
Dylan Ortiz
man what the fuck. 2000s. what a fucking wild time
Jason Adams
Pietro is a cunt. What the fuck is Wasp problem?
Jackson Russell
>Wanfa, whatever happens I'll always BANG He did, indeed.
William Gray
She looks like such a fucking expensive whore.
Sebastian Richardson
why does captain america look like some sort of reptillian humanoid?
Joe Mad is Benes lite, he puts too much emphasis on the tits and asses.
Camden Collins
>I can't feel my legs!
Cameron Reed
You know, I had somebody on /t/ say that Ultimate Marvel was way better than 616.
Hang on, I need to see if that thread's still up...
Ryan Barnes
amn Wanda is fucking slut.
Joshua Young
OH BOI
Jayden Long
janet still craves hank after he beats her to the hospital
Brody Roberts
Not a single Ultimate book ever had a decent artist. Every fucking character looks retarded, yes even Spidey. Cap in particular looks like a troglodyte
Nathaniel Young
>Blob is eating chicken in the cover What the fuck is Loeb problem?
Blake Jones
Ultimate Marvel is better than 616 though.
Bagley, and the first guys on UFF and UXM
Gavin Stewart
What the hell happened to Pietro? He went from handsome to corpse.
Carter Garcia
He got fucking shot
Juan Richardson
No siblings to fuck
Ryder Reed
Honestly wouldn't have blamed Steve for quitting then and there. This might be the worst iteration of Wasp there is.
The difference is I can name a half-dozen terrible 616 events (The Crossing, Onslaught, Heroes Reborn, Operation: Zero Tolerance, Original Sin, Battle of the Atom) but you can only name one bad Ultimate event.
Brayden Jenkins
Given that it's pretty much the ONLY Ultimate event, that's not a great track record
Jackson Perez
captain america tries to make an appeal to Joe Mad's terrible sense in costume design.
