Ah, yes. ULTIMATUM. That bull**** excuse for a crossover.

This thread is a DARTH thread, meaning it comes from the Dark Side of fandom.

This thread is for yelling, raging, and complaining about Ultimatum.

Hate Ultimatum? Join the dark side.

Leave the other thread alone.

*koo pah*

Not that this thread needs to be justified, but Ultimate Power was 500 time worse.

Just sayin'...

Yeah and a punch to the gut, is better then having your arm chopped off, that's not saying much.

So is this crossover suppsed to be a poor man's Crisis on Infinite Earths or something?
 
That's what you get for reading a story written by Loeb. Did you not learn your lesson from Rulk, wolf-man Wolverine, and Ultimates 3? You shouldn't be reading it anyway. Every time you read Loeb you give him power. Whether you enjoy the story or not, whether you pay for it or not, whether you go online to ***** about it or not, you empower him. You allow him to continue to pollute the industry with his drivel.

I hate you.

Since this thread is for complaining, I won't feel bad (or OVERLY whiny :) ) for doing just that -

I have been collecting the Ultimate U from pretty much the beginning -

I have the good ( post clone-saga USM, early UFF, Millar UFF,
early UXM, Ultimate Vision)

I have the great (Ultimates 1, Ultimates 2, BKV UXM, early USM up to Gwen's death, Ultimate Human

I have the mediocre (Ultimate War, Ultimate six, most of the rest of UXM, most of the rest of UFF, most of the rest of USM, Ultimate Origins, Ultimate DD, Ultimate Elektra, Ultimate Galactus trilogy)

I have the awful (Ultimate Iron Man 1 and 2, Ultimate Power, most of U3)

Like many collectors, I keep hanging on when titles go sour in the hopes of regaining past glory.

Ultimatum made me think it was FINALLY time to pack it in... but after ALL of this, it was Ultimate Hulk Annual that completely ended it for me. This really was the worst comic possible.

My store owner looked shocked as I cancelled every Marvel title (including all Ultimates), except Immortal Iron Fist and Captain America

instead, I picked up:

Invincible
Walking Dead
Umbrella Academy
Kull
Dead Irons

Not that anyone cares about these particulars - mostly I'm just trying to describe on a 'single collector's level' that Loeb accomplished what even Ultimate Iron Man couldn't.

Though I ripped up my Ultimate Hulk Annual in disgust, shame, and embarrassment, I might print a copy of the cover off of the net and tape it to my comic collection, the way a heavier person might use a picture of themselves on the fridge - as motivation for what I want to change. It will induce a vomity feeling, and be a reminder to drop a book when it becomes awful.

Some good has come from Loeb - by setting a new industry low, I doubt - even by default - that I will ever be this disappointed in comics again. Next time I would rather chew $4 worth of tin foil, $0.10 at a time.


PS - Thank you for starting this thread - This was exactly what I needed, and - I think - the place I needed to say it.

Brilliant.

We should take all of the posts like this in this thread and mail them to Marvel.

:lol: Very funny. I'm glad that you're not buying comics you don't like anymore and trying out new stuff. There's a whole bunch of comics you might like. And I hope you start threads on the titles you got that we don't have threads for. :)

I agree.
 
Kinda funny how comics are one of the few things that people will buy even if they don't like it. I mean, if I went to a restaraunt and ordered a burger and it sucked, I am 99.9% certain that IF I ever returned to that restaraunt, I wouldn't order that burger again.

But comics, we keep buying them. Perhaps holding out hope that "the burger" will somehow miraculously be delicious this time. And like comics, the burger could end up delicious if someone else starts cooking.

Moral of the story, don't keep eating crummy burgers until they change the cook.
