>>94097566
Knew I forgot one. Thanks.

>>94097361
Oh man, the memories.

This was the first /co/ storytime i ever read.

>>94097361
Can you believe issue 1 sold 100k copies. Jesus Christ.

It feels like this gets storytimed once a season. Not bitching at you OP, just saying.

How did Marvel approve this shit?

>>94098099
HERE IT COMES!

>>94097448
Is that Bendis?

>>94098179
Isn't the whole point of neck snaps in fiction is that they don't leave much blood?

>>94098114

I HATE THIS COMIC

F

>>94098224
didnt need to do this, just seen edgy for edgy sake

>>94097361
>kill about 3/4 of relevant X-Men
>series still goes on up until Secret Wars
How did they do it?

>>94098297
I actually know a few casuals who hate how 1610 is no longer around.

So who's going to storytime Girls?

>>94098324
and also Ultimate End?

Didn't Ultimate Hank give Janet the Van Dyne special pretty regularly?

>>94098114
Why? Just why? I don't understand.

>>94098317
Well, 1610 still had a bit of potential even after Ultimatum, but I don't understand how Ultimate X-Men still managed to chug along even after the death of almost every relevant team member durint the event.

>>94098446
You think so? I personally thought they were just bringing all their shitty ideas to fruition around the time of secret war since they knew there was gonna be a "reboot"

>>94098531
Why couldn't Hank have just scooped them up and throw them?

>>94098565

Fuck, I totally forgot Ult-Cap and Ult-Wasp had a weird thing.

>>94098415
Yeah, but Millar was trying to give them some sorta complexity by playing up how it's a destructive codependent relationship and they realize that at the end of Ultimates 2 when they aim toward reconciling.

Loeb didn't really do anything interesting with it.

>>94098531
>>94098550
So both men kill themselves to save the women they love from death?

I can't help but think this is the product of someone's mental issues.

>>94098643
How was it codependent if you don't mind me asking? I wasn't that into the ultimateverse besides Spidey

>>94098593
>bring back Valkyrie by sacrificing Thor
>she dies a few months later
>have Spider-Man almost die during the event
>kill him off for good after a short while

>>94098672
She pretty much tolerates his abusive behavior because their personalities mesh and for his part stealing her back from Cap feeds his ego.

>>94098368

Its not the hat that bothers me but rather than he's wearing it backwards

>>94098695
It still pisses me off they brought Spidey just to give Miles his blessing then just fucking KILLS HIM OFF. Jesus fucking christ, this is why I can't get into Miles being spidey.

>>94098706
Seems one sided, friend.

>>94098415
Ultimates 1 & 2 showed that both of them were terrible people who'd only be happy with each other. Take Jan:
>divorce husband who almost killed you by siccing an ant colony and bug spray on you
>date Rogers
>complain because he's boring and his friends are old
>start an emotional affair with your ex-husband
>when confronted, tell Rogers that you haven't had sex with Hank again YET

>>94098735
Aye. Should have mentioned that she values the thrill more and that's what Hank also provides with his bravado.

>>94098764
I gotchu, she's one of those crazy girls who likes to get beaten.
>>94098737
>>when confronted, tell Rogers that you haven't had sex with Hank again YET
Oh thanks for the explanation Anon. Got the issue for that?

>>94097703
This page ruins "Real Roctor Doom was in zombie-verse, Ben killed Mary Storm instead"-bullshit they pulled later.

>>94098708
>>94098728
>>94098753

This is really issue #4? There is no build up or explaination to this happening, just "BAM! DORMAMMU!"

wtf

>>94098786
That wasn't bullshit - that was pretty damn clever (as clever as trying to make sense of Ultimates 3 and Ultimatum can get).

And Mary was brainwashed, so it still fits.

>>94098753

Why didn't he ask to bargain?

>>94098157
I'd take the neck-snapping more seriously if Magento didn't look like he's trying to bite his bottom-lip off

>>94098839
>bungholes
What did he mean by this?

>>94098891
can you repeat the question?

>>94098371
I can do Ultimate End, but Girls is too long to do without a pass.

>>94098941
This was my favourite Wolverine. Do I have a bad taste?

Dear gods. Loeb should've just fucking killed himself when his kid died, rather than writing this abortion of a comic.

At the same time, the Jews of Marvel approved this, so I dunno. Maybe everyone at Marvel should kill themselves.

>>94099196
F

Why people don't like it? I liked it tbqh

>>94099393
>>94099417
this is fucking stupid

>>94099514

Going to storytime Ultimate End in a bit.

>>94099630
That really was pointless and terrible.

>>94099650
Has it even been explained what happened to that Peter?

>>94098253

>>94098475
and then the Jocasta Project was never brought up again in any comic

>>94098784
The Ultimates 2 #7 or so.

>>94099630
Simply awful. Thanks for the storytime anyway

>>94098779

Did we ever find out who took Strange's body?

This just made me realize all the Scott Jean shippers did have a book with Scott and Jean most of the years he was with Emma in the main continuity.
Did they like Ultimate X-Men?

>>94098204
This a ultimate-neck, filled with ultimate-blood

>>94099756
What do you mean by "That Peter"?The Scorpion-clone? Nope. Ultimatum and Death of Spider-man fucked up that storyline too.

>>94098210

>Can't even be bothered to reverse the 4 on the Thing's chest for the panel flip.

Why did they even flip the panel anyway?

>>94098307
Hank did nothing wrong here

>>94103176
Jean was something of a whore under Millar. He had Wolverine deflower her plus a lengthy arc where Scott was left to die by Wolverine in the desert explicitly so he could sweep in and steal Jean from Scott.

Millar, like Joe Casey and Grant Morrison* blatantly wanted Jean/Wolverine and editorial refused to do it.

Hell, it's one of the chief reasons WHY Emma/Scott happened. Grant and Joe wanted Jean/Logan and even openly stated they wanted it/had Joe Casey's first issue (which IIRC came out before Morrison's first issue) have Jean and Logan kissing on the cover and a plot which drew them close.

Fans revolted in huge number and Marvel vetoed it/told Morrison to push Scott/Emma instead to break the pair up, with an eye towards Jean/Logan down the road. But Morrison killed Jean off and fucked shit up big time

>>94098958

...and now that song is stuck in my head.

>>94098253
>>94098272
>>94098288
Isn't Wanda supossed to be dead?

>>94099440
HE IS ALWAYS RIGHT

>>94099524
Why?

>>94098114
THERE IT IS

>>94104826
It's literally shown to be mistique in one of the posts you linked.

>>94103031

lol no

>>94099196
close your fuckin eyes

Every single death in this was so fucking stupid

>>94099283

Why do you like it?

I don't like it because it feels cheap and gimicky. Not to mention that the pacing is fuck awful.

>>94099275
>Tore the adamantium off his skeleton
Wait didn't Mags do this before in a really old issue, and it resulted in Logan going feral. Isn't this more like Mags deconstructed the metal, Tony?

>>94107819
That was 616 Wolverine.

I didn't think Ultimate had admantium.

>>94098914

So, what's in the box?

>>94109393
Is this what kicks off Kitty leading the mutants to a promised land out west?

How to ruin a comic series going full kill mode, plot hole, and no fun.

Has any comic done this and made it out alive?
