nothing has been said yet...

[xdemon]

Right of the bat, it was announced that writer Mike Carey and artist Pascual Ferry will be the new regular Ultimate FF creative team.

Super Sweet! Carey has done an excellent job on UFF.

What about the Ultimate Iron man with OSC?

Plus I now have to buy a book I don't like due to one of my favorite artist being on it.

[Ravager]

When they start the clone saga, i hope its not as messy as the 616 version.

You HAVE to?

No you don't.

[benfo]

I have a feeling about Ulimates 3...

Ultimates 3 is to Ultimates as Batman and Robin is to Batman

[beetle1million]

Mike Carey could produce some really good work on FF. I liked his two issue fill-in story quite a bit. But I haven't really seen him do much in tone to indicate he can carry the excitement over from the Millar/Land run, which is quickly climbing onto the same platform as the Lee/Kirby and Byrne FF runs. I hope his approach is a little more energized than the subtle work I've usually seen him do.

[Michael X]

I like how it looks like they're going for a more cosmic UFF.
Is the crossover Ultimate Invasion I wonder?

[tesh_karde]

i just hope there's a ben rielly who dies his hair, is the scarlet spider, and lives at the end as an awesome loose end. other than that, do what you will haha

[sephiroth617]

I love the Ultimate Line. We're getting Ultimate Morbius, Ultimate Clone Saga, and best of all.....ULTIMATE THANOS!

Can I get a hell yes on the last one?

[Derek Ruiz]

Yeah I do so that my favorite artist can keep getting work with fan support you've heard of that right?


Maybe the job could lead to Pascual getting work on Ulitmate Silver Surfer.

[Tirpen]

Ultimates 3 is to Ultimates as Batman and Robin is to Batman

Agreed, I have no idea what they are thinking letting a guy like Loeb anywhere near a great title like The Ultimates. I guess Joe never read Hush, Superman/Batman or Supergirl. :(

Then you WANT to buy it so that you support Ferry. There's nothing forcing you to buy it.

[He-Bot]

Maybe the job could lead to Pascual getting work on Ulitmate Silver Surfer. Hmm, for most people supporting artists who are already doing well for themselves is pretty far down the list of worthy causes. Maybe you could try, y'know, supporting the poor? :)

[Punchy]

Nice new team on UFF, Ferry rocks.

I guess this means OSC is behind on UIM.

Is that Ultimate She-Hulk is spy?

[GreenDevil]

I hate when Ultimate titles get cartoony artists, ultimate should be more adult wit realistic artists. Ultimate X-men lost its greatness when Immonen took over penciling!!! (It annoys me)
I wish the ultimates line kept to no-sci-fi!!! eveything else looks good!!!:confused:

You guys are funny...Go to a con and go see all the artist that used to be well to do but are now doing low tier or no comic work at all and then tell me supporting an artist isn't worthy cause...

I think you make a valid point. Sometimes I just buy books for the art....

Immonen owned.

Hey,is that Ultimate She-Hulk between Bruce and Logan?

Looking forward to that USM Annual.

Dropping Ultimate F4 after #32 for sure.Never liked Ferry's stuff.

[Fats Tuesday]

I would love it if the Ultimate Scorpion used was the new chic!

No Ultimate Venom? What a rip off!

Originally posted by Freddie Kemp

Yeah Cause I thought that was one of the main reasons he jumped ship.

[Crusader]

Bendis added that Candy Bowen (a.k.a. Dagger) does go to Peter Parker's high school.

Dagger's name is Tandy Bowen. Not Candy.

[Mike Thompson]

Those Pasqual Ferry designs are terrific! It's too bad they won't be used for the regular Marvel Universe.

[pta391]

[..ULTIMATE THANOS!

Can I get a hell yes on the last one? [/B]



Ummm HELL YES!!!!

[Don Mega]

So UFF are DEAD to me.

After I read Ultimate X4 I puked for about an hour!

The writing sucked and surprisingly so did the art.

UFF was always the least interesting Ultimate-Title to me, but Millar managed to sell this book to me. But Carey and Ferry??? Well let´s quote the biggest boxer of all time here: "You´re out sucka!"

Ultimate Spider-Man sounds good, for the first time in about 60 issues. I´ll buy that (trade).

[tesh_karde]

mark bagley is my hero!!

[Jon Yeager]

Originally posted by MattBrady
Later, Quesada said that Marvel gets great Ultimate pitches all the time, and they have to avoid the temptation to produce more series. He compared it to the early 90’s when every success was milked to death.

You mean, like variant covers?

Director's cuts?

Sketch books?

The total number of X-books?

Gratuitous deaths & resurrections?

Taking a writer who happpens to be enjoying some success on one book and handing him the reigns of the entire company, including its flagship team book?

Removing artists from minis in mid-run because said superstar writer asked to be paired with them?

Promoting every issue of every book in the entire line as featuring every superhero ever, none of which will ever be the same after this issue?

Are we talking about THAT kind of excess and milking-to-death, Joe?

Just wonderin' :)

Jon

[AntManArmy]

could someone fill me in on the story line for the ultimate spidey video game? i haven't played video games since sega genisis and i'm actually slightly confused on how much of a story a video game could have....



man i so want to play altered beast now

[samnoir]

So no additional projects for Millar in the Ultimate Universe are announced at this time? That is really too bad because I consider Millar one of the two Principal architects (along with Bendis) in the Ultimates Universe and after Fantastic Four and Ultimates 2 wraps up I would be dissappointed if Millar were taking a break from it.

Why does Marvel think issue 104 of USM is the landmark issue where Bendis/Bagley's run is longer than Lee/Kirby's FF run? (I know they didn't say it is in this article but they have in the past and that's why the clone saga arc is ending with issue 104). A simple bit of research shows that Lee/Kirby's FF run ended with issue 102, not 103... so issue 103 is the landmark USM issue, not 104! :confused: :rolleyes:

[The 'Nam]

Bring on the Ultimate Invasion!

Just leave Turner out. Ick.

Shoot. I was hoping Millar and Land would stay on for a while. They are doing an amazing job so far. Oh well.

Dude. Fantastic Four, not Spidey. Honestly ;)

And I'm the opposite, I was hoping they wouldn't stay for too long because they made me drop it (Land in particular, horrible "art"--and I used to love his work so damn much before he became lame)

Carey/Ferry might well get me to buy it again, especially if they're going to add a more cosmic flavor. I'm game!

[Cientista]

How does Leinil Yu do it? I mean. Wow.
And Ultimate Thanos seems to rock the looks.

[innocentboy]

:D

yes.

____, like everybody else, looking forward to a lot of ____ coming out of the Ultimate universe!!!!!

[God-Man]

With Ultimate Morbius running around in USM, can Ultimate six-armed Spidey be far behind? :D

[jexxel453]

Anyone else get the feeling Singer's run on Ultimate X-Men just isn't happening? I mean this is the third time they have cancled the supposed start of his run. For that matter whats up with there only being one mention of Ultimate X-Men.

[Hypestyle]

hmm.. i wonder what ultimate jessica drew will be like..

[artiepants]

I don't think there was a single bit of Info in there that doesn't make me happy (well, i wasn't crazy about Brooks art on last years USM annual, but it was servicible...)

i agree with whoever said it looks like the Ultimate Invasion is gonna be from space now, what with Ronan and Thanos in there... although, i'm trying to remember if it was teased as having something to do with Atlantis by Bendis back when it was first mentioned, or if i made that up because of Namor and the Invaders (...invaders/invasion, follow ;) ...) ...if it is from space, i wonder if it will have anything to do with the earth surviving the Ultimate Extinction... Ronans a Kree like mahr-vell, right?

Super-psyched for Carey and Ferry on UFF, and those character designs are amazing!!!!:eek:

I just hope when it happens it's the 'unofficial' X3, because oy is that looking scary...

[He-Bot]

Bendis planning more to play up more high school elements of Ultimate Spider-Man. He talked about seeing a high school kid carrying a fake baby around for the week, and he loved that idea.
Damn. I'm generally a Bendis fan but still...crap! Looks like we'll miss out on 2 or 3 months worth of interesting storylines while Bendis gives us a plot more suited to Saved by the Bell. Who wants to bet against Peter and MJ being paired up to take care of this fake baby? Some kind of teen drama will ensue anyway. And who dares think that it won't include a joke about the "Great responsilbility" of caring for a child? :D

[John Cage]

Gosh, this sure is a fun thread.

...

How about instead of whining and complaining and saying you're not going to buy so-and-so someone talks about the fact that Carey and Ferry are taking over Ultimate FF and bringing Thanos with them, and an Ultimate Clone Saga is coming up.

That said, I have a problem with Bendis' explanation that "Ultimate Gwen's death was done to show Peter that he has to protect his loved ones from the consequences of his life." Wasn't that what Uncle Ben's death was all about? I'm probably just bitter about the whole thing -- I absolutely adored Gwen's big sisterly relationship with Peter and was sad to see that element go.

Have a good day.
John Cage

[RedRonin]

Interesting choice in Carey/Ferry to take over for Millar/Land, but it does make some sense. I just hope Carey brings more to the table than he did with UFF 19-20, and U:X4.

Characters designs by Ferry look awesome especially Thanos, but some do look a little to "Adam Strange-ish".

Charlie Huston doing the Ultimates Annual? That's going to be interesting, I'm surprised no one has complained about it yet.

Leinil Yu can do no wrong!:eek: Ultimate She-Hulk?

And this is why I ____ing love Bagley.
Bagley said that storytelling is about the emotion more than the minutiae of the detail. He didn’t break into comics until he was 27 and has “banged hammers” in past jobs, so he appreciates doing comics so much more. He said that delayed books hurt the readers’ enjoyment of the stories, so he considers it his job to keep the momentum going for the fans.

[Hypestyle]

i just hope that morbius is portrayed as a villain here.. I don't like the anti-hero morbius..

[ErictheRed]

Very excited about Carey on UFF! Ultimate Clone Saga I wasn't expecting to hear about so soon. But, sounds good. Phoenix art holy thats cool! Love how it 90% continuity and actually makes sense.:D

Call me Mr. Nice Guy. The story on Ultimate Spider-Man the Game (What I have completed so far, and I stink at video games) is we have Ultimate Venom running loose. Spidey barely defeats him and then Venom is on the loose some more. Spidey has to go and fight Ultimate Shocker and Ultimate Boomerrang during the time killing portions of the game for you to get experience. Then you fight Ultimate Rhino who is really a short nerd in a robot exo-skeleton. Fun. While this coccurs, you get the chance to be Ultimate Venom and beat up on Wolverine. Ultimate Venom fights Spidey, Spidey barely beats him again (Least I barely beat him) and Ultimate Silver Sable shows up to cart him away. Was curious about that, since Sable in the latest Ultimate Spidey is meeting him for the first time and they don't know eachother despite her having a few words with Spidey in the game.

OK, I stink at games and haven't progressed any further yet. But the game is available on PC, just check your computer to see that it has a Open Glide video card with at least 32 mb of memory to the card, and I would wager Lightning also for it. I know, I have a older laptop for work and many games I bought for it couldn't play since I lacked Lightning. If the card is two years old or less, it's probably OK.

My guess is the game counts only in so much as not everyone of us bought the game so far, so Bendis wants to get us to buy it then he can do another one. Game is fun, don't get me wrong. But I don't see much of it working for or against continuity. Course the Silver Sable bit does seem off, but that is me rechecking Ultimate Spider-Man from the recent arc with Sable not knowing Spidey's height, size, etc. yet in the game they have a few words.

<Oh, and I feel your pain about the Genesis. I didn't buy a new system since Genesis (the original one with the cartridge on the side) myself, and finally broke down and bought PS2 in September '05 just to play all of the SPider-Man, X-Men, Batman, the Animate Superman games and a few others. I play a hour or two a week only. Not much of a gamer, too busy I suppose.>

[sniperboyz]

I'd love to see Ron Lim draw Ultimate Thanos...

It's possible, but I also remember a fun episode of the 90s Batman cartoon where one of the characters (not sure if it's Batman, Robin, or Batgirl) find an abandoned baby and then spends the entire fighting crime lugging the kid around (who was having the time of his life) while trying to find the baby's mother.

Mark Bagley rules. 'Nuff Said.

A nice way to stand up for getting a book out on time and realizing that the readers are paying his salary and he is doing it for us, not the other way around as some artists would have us believe.

[Fletcher]

Why is it that I like the Ultimate titles better than the titles that are in the "Marel U"? As long as the writers and artists keep up the good work I am still on board. How can you not be with names like Loeb,Carey and Ferry?

Darn cool:cool: :cool: :cool:

I'm a big Thanos fan from way back and can't wait to see the ultimate version even with the plunging neckline and piercings. I figure if any character can carry off the metrosexual look, it's our favorite Death romancing Eternal. It even looks like he adopted a lovable hell hound, showing that even mass murdering nihlists enjoy the unconditional love of a loyal pet. I wonder if the beast has been spayed or neutered.:mad: :eek: :mad: Hopefully ultimate Warlock, Pip, and Gamora will follow. Can't wait for this or Annihilation. It's a good year for fans of Marvel cosmic.:cool: :cool: :cool:

I like how most of this stuff never happens in the Ultimate line yet you still complain.

[Wellness]

Another HELL YES, for the Ultimatization of Thanos.

I am surprised though that Millar's run is ending so soon, Carey was an obivious choice to follow after the four issues that he has done with the characters. And I do like his stuff, but come on Millar is on fire with this series which is second only to Ultimates.


It's possible, but I also remember a fun episode of the 90s Batman cartoon where one of the characters (not sure if it's Batman, Robin, or Batgirl) find an abandoned baby and then spends the entire fighting crime lugging the kid around (who was having the time of his life) while trying to find the baby's mother.

I barely remember that, its there but it is incredibily fuzzy. Although your description actually brings to mind an episode of Samurai Jack, where he does the exact same thing the entire episode but the child goes from having a sickly cute cartoon babyface, to a unibrow glaring little badass, screaming Jotoro.

I remembered it wrong, sorta. What really happens is that Robin gets an electronic egg baby that records how well the baby is taken. If something bad happens to the egg, Robin fails the class. So Robin lugs it around fighting crime, it gets stolen by one of the villains, and Robin has to rescue it. All throughout the episode the egg makes excited baby noises and faces. He takes it back to class and gets the highest grade because his egg was the most stimulated.

It was one of the light-hearted ones.

[justinalanha]

Moon Knight writer Charlie Huston will write the Ultimates Annual, Quesada announced, though he did not give any further information about the story.

NOOOOO!!!MILLAR!!!!I agree, that Mark leaving altogether is bad for the imprint. I wish that he would do something. Reminicent of when Gaiman stopped doing work at Vertigo. Everybody's sad. And, Huston better have a GREAT artist on his side. I'll take Dillon again.


AND! I'm really the only guy who hates that Thanos design??
how many earrings does he have on his left ear...He looks like John Romita Jr. (inside joke for anybody who has seen a picture of John Romita Jr.) (he wears like six hoop earrings on his left ear) (just like that pic of Thanos)

Ronan design was the only thing I liked from Mr. Ferry.

[MaSaKaRi]

I know a lot of the Ultimate universe is a re-telling with a twist of the 616 stuff, but when did the Clone Saga become a classic? It should never have happened in the 616 universe, let alone here! :rolleyes:

Sadly...with Pascal being on the book...I have to admit that I'd buy it for a few issues even if Chuck Austen was writing it. Well...maybe not Chuck...but Devin Grayson. :)

[Action Ace]

I was already dropping Ultimates after Millar left that title and now Ultimate Fantastic Four will follow suit. I've never read a Mike Carey issue yet that I liked and Ferry isn't quite a good enough artist to overcome that.

[sequart]

Later, Quesada said that Marvel gets great Ultimate pitches all the time, and they have to avoid the temptation to produce more series. He compared it to the early 90’s when every success was milked to death.

When I asked Joe Q. to list the hardest propsal to turn down so far, he listed two: he said that there was a Doctor Strange project and a Ghost Rider project that he had to say no to.

[algertman]

are you people really surprised Millar is leaving UFF so soon? the man doesn't stay long on titles at one given time
