I've been seeing this a lot lately and it's got me thinking too. . .has the Ultimate Universe gone stale?
First, let me say, there's only a handful of comics I buy outside of the Ultimate Universe. These include Marvel Zombies, Supreme Power (And it's spinoffs), Fables, and Y:The Last Man. There's the occasional Vertigo series I take a look at if it looks interesting, but they rarely "stick" for me. So. . .that's two titles that aren't connected to the Ultimate U (Thanks to UFF and Ultimate Power).
There's only three titles I collect in singles anymore (Extinction, Ultimates 2 and UFF), while I've switched to HC for Spidey and X-men. Spidey stopped being truly interesting after Hollywood (Warriors was decent, but it hasn't managed to keep on the upswing for me). Kirman's killing X-men in my opinion. And Millar is leaving the Ultimate Universe after UFF #32, something I see as a shame. I even stopped collecting Wolverine vs Hulk, due to the slow pacing (I'll pick it up in trade, of course, but still).
I'll probably take a look at Ultimates 3, Carey/Ferry's UFF and Ultimate Power before I switch them to HC, but everything just seems to be degenerating into a more "hip" 616-verse. Thoughts?
