Ultimate Marvel Storytime
>What's being storytimed?
Ultimate Marvel, later known as Ultimate Comics, was an imprint of comic books published by Marvel Comics, featuring re-imagined and updated versions of the company's superhero characters from the Ultimate Universe. The imprint was launched in 2000 with the publication of the series Ultimate Spider-Man and Ultimate X-Men, providing new original stories for the characters. The Marvel Multiverse, which comprises an infinite number of galaxies and alternate universes, calls this universe Earth-1610.
>Why are you doing this?
Because there's a lot of good stuff that people ignored that deserves recognition and even the bad stuff can be fun.
>Why this order?
I originally planned on doing USM to Death of Spider-Man, but I want to do the rest now. I've separated things into groups for convenience.

No problem
Bendis needs to be banned from using double page spreads.

Thanks
Wow, missing UDT.
What are your thoughts on it>

I still can't hate it. Too many of my favorite characters get love and F4 ends up in too interesting of a place. It's definitely not as good as I recall though.
>>83393794
Is this supposed to be blank except for a small black bar at the top?
>>83393893Ultimate endsnever forget those bland pages
>>83393893
Well, the best I can say for it is that it hasn't gotten worse with age.
It's stayed about the same level for me haah
>>83393925

>>83393932
kek I suppose that's good
>>83393960
For me, the outlying stuff has been pretty entertaining.
But the stuff with the UFF has just...damn.
Pretty schlocky.

>>83393987
I love the idea that the rocks are a shell on Ben,just wish it went somewhere. LoveBen and Sue getting together. And I still love Reed turning evil. I get why someone wouldn't like it, but for me UFF never really felt like Fantastic Four anyway so I like that they went in a different direction.
>>83394060
I liked that his body was swapped out, and theBen/Suething was rushed.
I wouldn't mind but the set-up was just blargh.
Reed turning evil could have been good, but he would have just left.
>tfw Bendis used to be good with continuity
I honestly would buy the idea that he planned this from Ultimate Fantastic Four #1, he had Secret Invasion planned out for a LONG time
>>83394128
I agree that the setup was incredibly rushed, butthey're adorable together.Especially in Ultimate FF.
I kind of like the idea that this Reed wasn't invited to the council. He was either too self-centered or was invited and turned them down.
>>83394093
>That 616 Wolverine
>>83394182
Yeah, I admit that Fialkov was able to give them chemistry.
But the set-up was in the air, so I was very happy thatUltimate Kang loved Reedand the hints toward a Franklin plot were in the mix.
>>83394343
Damn
>>83394269
I honestly don't remember much of Fialkov's run. I'm looking forward to reading it again.
Ultimate FF I remember vividly because it was so damn continuity heavy
>>83394428
Definitely more entertaining than seeing it again
>>83394442
Well, it salvaged Reed's character that is for sure.
>>83394484
I remember Reed being the love to hate fucker still.
Damn, now I'm all hyped for Fialkov again
>>83394596
Wasn't he always?
Even when the UFF were a team they caused all of their problems
>>83394647
I said it once before, but this is still Ultimate Reed and Sue's relationship in a nutshell. It's just reverse when Fialkov comes in http://img.memecdn.com/rmx-gtfo-bitch-i-039-m-doing-science_o_771771.jpg
>>83394865
>>83394884
I fucking hate this scene
>>83394937
People forget this scene, it explains why Reed turned in this book, but they give the credit to Hickman for spelling it out. Having said that, Reed just fucking off makes way more sense. Gotta keep his waifu though.
>>83395013
Fialkov's retcon was truest to character.
I just hate that flashback is Bendis just...doing a complete character overhaul.
Sort of like how Bendis does explain how Peter comes back when Osborn talks to JJJ, but it flew over people's heads.
>>83395058
Do you at least like this scene?
>>83392350
>>83392358
>>83395168
Like I said...the real shlocky shit in the UDT is anything pertaining to the UFF.
The other stuff is pretty okay.
>>83395203
Okay, in that casewe can still be /co/mrades
>people used this issue to convince themselves that Peter wasn't going to die
>>83395467
bump
>>83395122
Ultimate Nick Fury. Undermining people since...forever.
>>83395343
This whole thing is making me wish Bendis had a run on FF. I'm loving his Sue. She's the powerhouse she should be.
>>83395489
Thanks
>>83395491
It's what he's best at. That and being a shady motherfucker.
>>83395573
He did. First arc with Mark Millar, but I know what you mean. I love his Sue.
>>83395588
No problem
>>83395649
>The Ultimates
Well it took you long enough to show up. While Fury , the FF, Shield and Spidey were doing all the real work, these fuckers were off presumably doing what they always do, have sex and argue with each other.
>>83395836
top kek
And now my second favorite Ultimate miniseries.
>>83395776
This whole mutual respect thing between Ultimate Spidey and Ultimate Ock is kinda freaking me out. It's neat though.
>>83395916
I didn't read the Ultimate ending. I hope Sue and Bens deaths were horrifically fitting.
>>83395950
Nice
>>83395850
Wait a minute. Did he just fucking neuralyze everyone with whatever is under his eyepatch? Damn Bendis wrote a pimpin Nick Fury.
>>83396013
>I didn't read Ultimate End
lucky
>>83396046
Millar introduced it in UXM iirc
>>83396013
Why? They didn't hurt anyone.
>>83396095
Reed deserved his revenge.
>>83396218
>Revenge
But it was all along con
>>83396167
When you get Captain America
You get the costume too. Cap doesn't do stealth
>>83396218
Yes, how dare a teenage girl dump him for being a weird socially awkward nerd. Clearly murder and world domination is justified in this scenario.
>>83396298
Haha, fuck off Hawkeye.
Like you did BlackOps any better
>>83396350

>>83395013
No matter how many times I read this section I simply can't fault Reed and not look down on the rest of the team.
>>83396836
Thanks
>>83397200
RIP
>>83396346
You clearly didn't read the whole thing. She's revealed to be the actual cause of it all.

I love Cho's Art
>>83397836
Cho nice.
>>83397926
Same
Cho is awesome
>>83398048
The way he draws everyone is pretty awesome. The character I ever had a problem with doing was Cyclops during Schism.
Scott was rail thin
>ywn be forced to impregnate Hela, Queen of the Dead in order to be revived back on Earth

For a jerk, Tony's a really good guy.

Since when?
>>83398185
Only Cap would turn down Zarda.
>>83397564
When?
>>83398504She's revealed to have time-traveled and killed his parents and was responsible for all the reasons he tipped into going "evil," thus creating The Maker, because ironically, he was necessary.
>>83398577
What the actual fuck???
What book was that in?
>>83398265
Damn
>>83398577
Holy shit, THAT'S why I couldn't remember Fialkov's Ultimates, I despised what he did to Sue! Thanks for solving that mystery anon.
>>83398644
We have to disagree then.
Ultimate Kang was awesome.And she didn't kill his parents. She just made him listen to her logic
>>83398662
Zarda here... this is the absolute perfect Wonder Woman body!
>>83398668
That's the weird thing, I remember liking Kang
>spoiler
Huh, guess that's not why I don't remember it. Guess we will find out why when we get there.
>>83398701
I mean, you're right about Ben and Sue having cute moments...but, and especially with Ellis's foundation, Reed and Sue had a lot of this electric spark.Loved how Kang brought that back. And yeah, Kang didn't set off Reed, he was pretty much regular Ult. Reed and she just recruited him.

>I can accept a nerd going evil.

cool
>>83396899
Oh come on.
>>83397806
Hey that was actually pretty good.
>>83394442
I don't get it.
Just before his house blew up, he seemed genuinely surprised. He tried to warn his dad.
He could have been acting, but why, since the witnesses were all going to die?
>>83393363
sooo who is the purple guy and didnt they kill off the human torch in the negative zone shit when he got infected or something
>>83410196
This is the Ultimate Universe. The purple guy is Ben Grimm
Bump for catching up.
