Re: Ultimate Power #2 Discussion (spoilers and whatnot)
Didn't hate it as much as the last issue. Clearly we know this falls before Ultimates 2. Not much to say about the issue because it was mostly fight capped off with a reveal that we already saw coming.
2.5/5 (midway point) Should read well in trade though.

Re: Ultimate Power #2 Discussion (spoilers and whatnot)
by reveal he could mean The Squadron Supreme revealing that Reed is under arrest for destroying their world.
Ok..I picked it up and this was utter crap. It was nothing but a big brawl. And it most definately must come before Clone Saga/Cable owing the X-Men roster, and Kitty and Spidey's banter. They still sound like they are 16.
But then again, Xavier has beeen fingered to die in UXM, and that could still happen. But Kitty calls in the X-Men, last time I checked, she was going to quit the team, and Cable mentions she had I think.
No, it just means the mini-series will most likely end with the restoration of the Supremeverse, and the return of the SS to their home-world (perhaps with a possibility of the events of the whole series being reversed/forgotten). Meh.

Loeb continued hinting that not everyone from each universe will be returning to their respective homes after the mini-series. Loeb also noted that, timeline-wise, Ultimates 3 (with Joe Madureira) will be set before Ultimate Power, and Ultimates 4 (with McGuinness) will be set after Ultimate Power - "For reasons that will be made clear," Loeb said.
Re: Ultimate Power #2 Discussion (spoilers and whatnot)
My biggest complaint with this issue was that nothing really happened and there weren't even a great fight scene. Unless Bendis has some awesome twist of how Reed destroyed their planet this mini is for crap.
2/5 - For the fact that we got to see the Ultimates(post V2?), the X-Men, the FF, and Spiderman.
Re: Ultimate Power #2 Discussion (spoilers and whatnot)
Unless I see this thing's trade two years from now, for dirt cheap and feel like reading a joke of a story and have run out of better things to buy...I won't read this.
So I must ask, if this is post U3....what the line-up of the Ultimates? The X-Men?
Of course, the continuity errors thus talked about, I doubt either line up will prove true in the future, especially Kitty being an X-Men. Or Thor staying under Fury and SHIELD's command after Ultimates 2, which unless there's a lot of bargaining, I don't see happening. (He'll appear as a vigilante always in the zero hour, as he promised Cap and Tony in U1).

I wouldn't say that. The mention of the Hulk being on the loose wouldn't make sense (he was imprisoned in the Triskelion from Ultimates #6 through Ultimates 2 #3), nor would Ant-Man/Pym's appearance on the team (unless perhaps its a different person, maybe another of SHIELD's reserve Ultimates got bumped up...Ultimate Scott Lang maybe?
Of course, the Triskelion being fully intact doesn't make much sense either, but its possible it was rebuilt after the invasion.
We'll just have to wait and see if this is explained or cleared up at all...

Could be. Just remember Bendis is writing these first three issues and he pays about as much attention to continuity as his hair...or lack thereof (I'm a hypocrite, I know).

Most likely, though it was advertised as having lasting consequences (no such thing in comic land, really, but thats what they claim). Supposedly certain Supreme verse characters will be stuck in the Ultimate verse, while some Ultimate characters will be stuck in the Supremeverse. I honestly really doubt that'll hold up, though, given Marvel's previous track record on following through with promises.
Could be. But then again they've helped him on a few other occasions, way back in the UMTU Super Special, and then vice versa in USM #68-69. Though if I had to guess I'd assume he was referring to the Clone saga as well...maybe this means Peter won't be giving Kitty the boot for MJ after all.
Not in that panel. He pretty much summarized the Ultimates previous experiences. It made sense to me. Its just in how it all fits together that doesn't make sense.

Re: Ultimate Power #2 Discussion (spoilers and whatnot)
What the hell is up with this issue? Where's the research on continuity? Bendis should stick to writing Powers, Ultimate Spider-Man and New Avengers. Other than that please don't write anything else without researching. My only complain is the writing. Other than that the art is utterly amazing. Greg Land is a god. People should really shut up about his drawing method.
