Nice. The Avengers look cool drawn by Land and the Ultimates annual is okay...

 

[SeAcoW]

Going .. crazy ... argh !

 

[ProjectX2]

Is the Ultimates annual after Grand Theft America or somewhere between? 'Cause if it is after, there looks to be no casualties...

 

[Irish_4204]

I still have no idea what's going on in the UFF crossover. It's too small to see the text. Can someone fill me in?

I was wondering the same thing. :?

It's basically just explaining that the infection came from another universe and it passed onto other superheroes. Then it shows Reed running with Torch chasing after.

Ahh ok. Yeah, I just read the UFF #21 summary, I get it now. Thanks though.

 

[ProjectX2]

Blech. Black Widow is still using her Iron Maiden armour.

(bats eyelashes and curtsies)

Welcome. This will make tomorrow's issues come out faster, right?

 

[Goodwill]

I think the concept for the Ultimate Annual is a really great idea... The first line in the preview hits what I believe to be what the Ultimate Universe is based upon. Reality. Our society builds better and better weapons and continues to do so no matter the casualties. I can't wait to see the Reserves. If the people that are backing the Ultimates are any indication, I believe we're going to see some interesting original characters and maybe a few new ultimizations.

Also, I can't help but feel had (Pun intended) about the "Cross-Over". This just seems to be some cheesey horror story about multi-dimensional communication. This better be the Ultimate Legacy Virus or something... The art is fantastic, the story is, well, odd.

Thank you Rhyo for pointing us in the right direction.

I think its meant to be in between the arcs, but we won't know for sure till it ships.

 

[ProjectX2]

Hmm, I hope it is between the arcs then.

And Ice, you missed an "l" out in the title!

Yeah, thought I put it back when I put in the "#1". lol

 

[MaxwellSmart]

The annual preview was interesting, but I would have liked to see the new team.

 

[ProjectX2]

The Reserves probably won't show up until at least halfway through the book.

The question is... How are they going to show up? Are the Ultimates going to need rescuing or is their team going to be expanded?

I hope it's not just showing the Giant-Men and introducing them to the team.

BTW, it looks like MWF's Gah Lak Tus theory is out the window.
