Most likely.



By the way, I hate what the new site design does to the first post on each page. Its really screwing up how the timeline looks. Small potatoes, I know, but I had to say it.

how does it screw it up? there's just an add on the right side. I don't think any text is lost.

Its only on my work computer that it does it, and its only because another program which controls all the shipping and manifests (I manage a UPS Store) takes up about a quarter of the screen on the right side, thereby automatically shrinking the IE page, and the timeline along with it. It just looks all scrunched up, which makes it harder to read. But as I said, on every other computer its fine. I'd posted that the day of the site update (or day after), before I had a chance to see the timeline on other computers and realized what the problem was. So yeah, no big deal. It didn't delete or alter any of the text, it just scrunched it up, no biggie.

I just made the decision to stop picking up Ultimate comics by single issues like I used to, and instead I just am going to do it by the TPBs. Its just easier for me.

However, I will be reading the issues as they are released (once I get around to setting up my internet connection at home), and will update on an almost weekly basis from then on out.

I just needed a temporary break from the Ult verse after Ultimatum, but thats over with now. I'm basically just waiting to get internet set up and get caught up on the newer issues (from the past 4 months or so).

But don't worry, I'm still dedicated to it.
 
I was worried there. My following of the Ultimate Universe will probably die with this timeline.

Don't worry, I'll be updating it very soon. Been catching up on the post-Ultimatum comics and newer Marvel Zombie titles (Deadpool - Merc with a Mouth, Deadpool Corps, MZ5). I'll hopefully have a complete update done this weekend.

yeah, so i noticed that you're frustrated about how much Ultimate Power screws up the continuity...me too. So i was looking at it in relation to USM and UXM and I had an idea that I think works pretty well (I also PMed you on the boards for marvel.com)

if you've already thought this through and it doesn't work, just let me know.

What if we assume that there is a large gap between USM 105 page 18 and page 19 (not including ads or the intro page) that's the last ACTUAL appearance of Nick Fury in USM. So after having the fight with Prof X in USM, Kitty goes back to the X Mansion and "Cable" and "Aftermath" happen, Kitty leaves the team, "Cliffhangers", "Underneath", and at least part of "Sentinels" happens, and then Ultimate Power happens...during which time Spidey was hanging out with Kitty trying to get up the courage to tell her about him and MJ, but the attack on the Baxter building happened and they got distracted, so he didn't tell her. Kitty calls the mansion from the Baxter Building right when Wolverine and Storm happen to be visiting. Cyclops figures this is a big enough emergency to warrant them helping so they fly over.

And then, after Ultimate Power, it goes back to USM 105 and Kitty sees Peter and MJ.

and what if any reference to Nick Fury after that...(in Ultimate Knights, or whatever) was just the heroes pretending they didn't know what happened to Nick Fury b/c they didn't really have the legal authority to hand him over like that and they agreed to pretend that they didn't know what happened to him (that would explain Peter's reaction to Carol Danvers in "Death of a Goblin" too.

the only thing that is left to explain is the Ultimates, why were they with Nick Fury? (negotiating the terms of being an independent team, since usually being a "metahuman" or whatever makes you government property once you turn 18?) and why was ant-man there? (Ultimate Scott Lang trying out for the team?)

to be honest the wrong team members showing up has happened before ("Deadpool") and it's pretty easy to overlook.

Am I wrong, or does that pretty much deal with any continuity issues? (not perfectly, but I think it works pretty well)
it explains Spidey's ties to the FF, why he and Kitty are still friendly, why that specific X-Men team showed up, and why Spidey seems to not know where Fury is in Death of a Goblin.

i don't know, i'm satisfied, unless you can think of some glaring issue that I missed!
peace

This is my first post and the reason I signed up for this forum, to try to solve the continuity issues of Ultimate Power! Wow, this was a lifetime ago.

Yeah, a few months before I started my current job that I've had my entire adult life. Six years before I got married. Eleven years before my first dauther was born. And also seven years before the Ultimate Universe was cancelled in Secret Wars. Haha. It's crazy how much has changed since then.
