You don't like it when I tell you to read things.

I didn't think it was that good.
The one issue where duder kills all the guys. . . that was good.

Joe doesn't like any comics made pass the 70's.

It might turn into something good, but there wasn't enough of it to know.
Which is a whole separate problem, if you can't tell if something's good or not after six issues.
I will be buying the sequel, though.

What about six issue minis?

They should tell a complete story, and you should be able to tell if it's good or not.
When something's "on hiatus" after six issues without any type of closure, that's completely different.

Point, so let me rephrase what I said.
I liked the foundation on which the story will be built upon.
Better?

Yes, much.
I think it has potential, but I just didn't enjoy reading it to this point.
I FINALLY read the first volume (issues 1-6). I completely forgot I had it.
I'm a little confused as to the status of this book, or at least what the current status is vs. the original intent.
According to Wikipedia, it's an ongoing. But the first volume isn't collected as "volume 1". And given that there is 1 or 2 minis that seem to be spinning out of this (I haven't read any issues other than the first 6 by Ellis and Larroca), it seems to indicate that those 6 issues were sort of an introduction to set up the universe, and Marvel would be putting out stories after that. Is that the case? And if so, has it always been the case? because if so, it occurs to me that that would have been ideal for the Ultimate Universe, starting with Ultimates Vol. 1.
The end of issue six didn't seem like an end to anything though; it seemed as though it was intended, at least at the time, to continue into issue #7.
Anyway, I really liked it and liked how it set things up. The cop mass murder scene in issue 6 was scary good.

Ellis is doing a second mini that hasn't finished and as been delayed for sometime. It's done by a different artist. There is also some really good oneshots.

I wasn't aware Conqueror was out. Cool. I'll track that down.
I just read 1959 and it, too, was really good.
Do we know what the deal with Shockfront is? Is it delayed?
Do we know when the second Ellis series is coming?

It was supposed to be an ongoing, but with the way Marvel is about late books, they just let it go to the point that they restarted it with a new number one that stalled out after two issues unexplainedly.
There have been two other one-shots to help flesh out the universe, and Jonathan Hickman of Nightly News fame wrote a third that has yet to be published.

I thought Shockfront was sort of a placeholder until he did a "proper" sequel.
Well, I hope they don't completely abandon it. I really like it.
