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.

ANOTHER HIDEOUS 3D MODEL COVER
WHEN DOES IT END
For those just joining us on Hickman's run, it starts here
Ultimate Thor >>83400059
Ultimate Fallout
Hulk >>83159626
Thor >>83017033
Ultimate Hawkeye >>83160281
The rest of Fallout and Ultimates #1-8 >>83426259
I'm warning everyone right now, Sam Humphries comes in at issue #10 and the book slowly snowballs into the worst thing the Ultimate line has ever published. Yes, worse than Kirkman and Loeb.

>I still love you
This is the most in character Ultimate Reed has been this whole arc and it's atrocious
>>83433233
I told you, it turns to complete shit.
>>83433313
That bottom panel looks like it could have been traced from a Clint Eastwood flick.
>God tier covers
>Hickman is gone
Ir's time for a STORYTIME OF PAIN
>>83433358
Probably was
>>83433613
bump
>>83433636
Thanks
>>83433657
No problem.
>>83433657
Just my opinion but I find that Iron Man suit horrendous.
>>83433692
Nah, it's awful
What a shitshow Marvel is, seriously. I'm amazed Hickman even bothered with Secret Wars.
Someone should ask him on twitter what his plans for Ultimates really were.
>>83434152
bump
>>83434162
He chose for Humphries to replace him.Also president Cap was in his notes
>>83434173
Thanks
Hickman left for two reasons
1. They wanted this stupid crossover event
2. They offered him Avengers which was a pay raise as well
Hickman personally chose Sam Humphries to continue on Ultimates. He left his notes, most of which, much like Brian Wood did to Nick Spencer's notes, were ignored.
And that's how Sam Humphries got into Marvel and what led to this shit storm we're reading. Don't worry though Fialkov comes in after and fixes EVERYTHING
>>83434702
And then Secret wars happens with the worst send offUltimate end. it should been millar instead of modern bendis.
>>83434756
Nah, Ultimate End has nothing to do with the Ultimate Universe. The send off was Secret Wars #1 and the final issue of Hickman's Avengers.
I think that's what pissed me off the most about Ultimate End, the realization that it WASN'T 616 and it WASN'T the Ultimate universe.
>>83434838
Damn Modern bendis
>>83434780
Good
GOD FUCKING DAMMIT FUCK SAM HUMPHRIES Modi had so much potential.
>>83435049
THANK YOU FOR BUMPING THIS SHITTY FUCKING COMIC
>>83435124
>SHITTY
Bumping!
>>83435084
People always say how bad these later issues are but after the relentless nihilism of the earlier issue I can't help but smile seeing Cap do over the top patriotic things like this.
>>83435135
BEAMS! FIRING FROM HIS WHOLE BODY! WHY NOT
>>83435157
That's how I felt the first time I read this.
>>83434957
So did Thor just forget he stuffed his kid in the tree or what
>>83435419
So this where the CassieAsspanel came from.
>>83435373
THANKS
>>83435444
What? No, that's what they're talking about.

Bump in preparation
>>83435625
Thanks

Bump
>>83435819
Thanks
That's it for tonight. Come back tomorrow it see Humphries shit all over his own ideas and Fialkov fixing the ones he ruined.
>>83435839
No pro
OP. Thanks for storytime.
It might be a shitty comic, but it is still fun to read.
First time reading through Hickman's Ultimate run, I can see why he was so beloved when he was working on it.
>>83435870
I like to read comics, even if they are shitty. And even when they're shitty, they're really not that bad. Unless the art is horrendous, then I can't get through it.
>>83432223
GG, ultimate universe. You will be remembered.
