Ultimate X (Loeb/Adams)

[Captain Canuck]

The biggest news here is that they got Hulk to wear a shirt.

it looks like he's wearing pants too...maybe Loeb learns from his mistakes after all...









:lol::lol:

just kidding.

 

[Drunken Pickle]

Wow.... :roll:

I bet the whole arc revolves on how they get Hulk to wear clothes...

 

[Goodwill]

How is Loeb going to have enough pages to explain how Hulk's got clothes on AND he's grey and not green?

Also, I bet this Hulk has a tendency to paint himself red...

 

[Ice]

And I can't wait to read tiny bits of nothing every 2 months! A whole year to tell an arc! HUZZAH!

 

[Drunken Pickle]

Isn't Banner's brain in Nerd Hulk in UCA? So is this Banner's body with the clone's brain or will Loeb just ignore that?

 

[Bass]

That's a Jeph Loeb question.

 

[Captain Canuck]

Isn't Banner's brain in Nerd Hulk in UCA? So is this Banner's body with the clone's brain or will Loeb just ignore that?

no no no. Nerd Hulk in UCA is Banner's mentor hulked out, but tweaked to keep the intelligence.

 

[ProjectX2]

no no no. Nerd Hulk in UCA is Banner's mentor hulked out, but tweaked to keep the intelligence.

That's not correct. "Nerd Hulk" has been grown from Banner's stem cells and has kept his intelligence.

Banner's mentor is supposed to be the African-American Hulk in the second arc.

 

[Zombipanda]

Obviously it's Ultimate Kid Hulk, the child of Ultimate Hulk and Ultimate She-Hulk between the pages of Ultimate Hulk Vs. Ultimate Wolverine.

That's not correct. "Nerd Hulk" has been grown from Banner's stem cells and has kept his intelligence.

Banner's mentor is supposed to be the African-American Hulk in the second arc.

I.....


what........?

:roll:

really? I must have missed that.

that's kind of dumb

 

[Drunken Pickle]

Forgot all about U. She-Hulk. So there's Banner, Ross, Nerd Hulk, Millar's future Hulk, Loeb Hulk, and I just remembered the Hamster Hulk...

Build up for Ultimate Fall of the Hulks!!! :?

Ultimate x 2 cover

She has eyes painted on her eyelids.

Also, this hulk is Bruce's previously unmentioned brother who is superior in every way. :wink:

 

[J. Agamemnon]

Losing...brain cells....alarming....Jeph.....what are you doing Jeph? Jeph? Jeph? Jeeeeeeeee....ph.

 

[Jaggyd]

Oh ****.... i figured out who the girl is!


It's Apollo and Midnighter's daughter via a surrogate mother.


Wait... wrong universe

 

[J. Agamemnon]

and what gives with the hip displacement?

 

[Ultimate Houde]

Either she has MAJOR back, or that skirt was done in a horrible way.

 

[Captain Canuck]

and what gives with the hip displacement?

hahaha, oh man i didn't even notice that.

Her mutant powers? being able to stand even when her hip is dislocated.

 

[Mattimeo84]

I know it can't (shouldn't, well hope he wouldn't, but hey it's Loeb) be, but im getting a strong Young Scarlet Witch vibe.

 

[DIrishB]

The solicit mentions her name is Karen, so I doubt its a version of Scarlet Witch...more likely its a character everyone will completely forget about after reading the issue...

 

[Zombipanda]

Yeah. I get the feeling all these characters are supposed to be OH EHM GEE ALL NEW ALL DIFFERENT!

See a preview of the first issue and judge for yourself... if you dare.

Yep, that's what I thought would happen if any read that.

Comics Continuum is the worst comics website ever. It's slow and ugly and I'm about to add the domain to the swear filter so that no one can link to it anymore.

 

[Zeek]

Read the preview.

*********, Loeb, you DID write it about Wolverine's son. Son of a *****. Man, what is the point in permanently killing off a character, making a big deal about it...and then introducing a character who is the exact same in every way (powers-wise).

Also, love how all the names in the dialog were bolded and italicized. He did the same thing in the first Ultimatum issue, and it was equally as retarded. An employee at my local comic book store tried to convince me that buying UX was a good idea. **** that. Loeb had his chance. I'm downloading this at best.

 

[Bass]

Zeek, you're too kind. As if Wolverine's kid will be different in terms of personality.

I love how, originally, one of Bill Jemas' reasons for doing the Ultimate line was that 'what ifs' didn't work. A big problem of the core universe was new readers couldn't get into it. However, one thing Marvel has tried to do, time and time again, is restart the Marvel universe with the next generation. The children of the old heroes. The idea behind this is that you have new superheroes who are just like the ones everyone loves, but because they are young and new, they have no continuity and people can grow up with them!

Except it has always failed because their very presence belies a larger continuity that took place before them that you're supposed to know about. It also becomes thought of as 'not real' because the 'real' versions are still having present-day adventures in the 'real' universe. And because people want Wolverine not Wolverine's kid who's exactly the same.

Their 'bold, new direction' is the same damn direction everyone's tried since ****ing Popeye and Son and it has never, ever worked. What's more, the Ultimate universe was designed specifically to combat this kind of reinvention. It's a 'what if' of a ****** 'what if' now.

How can anyone involved in this book honestly think it is a good idea to kill off Wolverine in a poor fight, only to replace him with his kid-version?

If you want to tell stories about Wolverine, then don't kill him off. Dammit!

 

[ultimatedjf]

I am no longer going to purchase Issue #1 of this.

 

[Goodwill]

The problem I have with Wolverine having a son is that it adds to HIS character and not his son's. I still know nothing about Wolvie Jr., and I certainly don't care about him...

 

[Void.M]

So he's basically ultimate Daken?
