    Man, Ultimate X-men sucks.

    So dissapointing after Ultimate Spiderman. I just picked up the first three volumes of the compilation set. It's all wrong.








    Do I really have to put up spoilers?















    Jean Grey's a slut. She ends up in bed with Wolverine on like page two. Cyclops is a little *****(wait that's actully pretty accurate) who wines and quits. Yeah sure it's apparently all some kind of master plan but still. Professor X is actually willing to kill Magneto. Bobby Drake goes from being scared on a bus in one issue to freezing three senteniels in the next.

    And worse is what they did to Wolverine. He starts out working for Magneto, is sent to kill Charles Xavier, with some bull**** excuse about his Weapon X training letting him shield his mind from Prof X while Magneto still has to wear his helmet. Then for no apparent reason other than it never occured to him that he didn't have listen to what Magneto said. What the ****. Maybe it's because I never actually read any of the X-men comics only read about them online. Or maybe because I think Hugh Jackman's portrayl of Wolverine in the movies should be the end all ****ing canon for how you do Wolverine. But this crap is ridiculous. Ultimate X-men is right up there with Xtreme Loonatics in my opinino. Gives me half a mind to put them to shame with some fanfiction. And I never in my life thought I'd ever even consider doing fanfiction. Even as a joke.
    The Cyclops having only one eye, needed to seek shelter from the harsh sun. The shadow cast by the spheres gave him temporary respite.

      Yeah, lousy comics **** me off too. Ultimate X-Men always looked kinda lousy too me. That's the one with Wolverine and soul patch or something right? Laaaaaaaaame.

      Ultimate Spider-Man looks pretty good. I read a single-issue and the writing was surprisingly good (Brian Michael Bendis, baby!) because the art didn't match its quality at all. The art is so... childish. The characters look like they're made of rubber or they're melting. Or maybe it was just that one issue?

        Yeah, I read a few of the Ultimate X-Men comics, it was just overall lame. And it seemed to copy more of the movies than the past comic series.

        Though the issue of Ultimate Spider-Man where Peter and Logan "from "Ultimate" X-Men" got there minds switched was enjoyable.

          I don't know, I reading the first three volumes. I think it's something like 6 issues a volume. Vol 2 is no better than Vol 1. Just hack writing all around. Who is this Miller guy? Has he done anything worth merit? JUGGERNAUTS NOT A ****ING MUTANT YOU IDIOT!!!

          What really ****es me off is that the ultimate X-men were depicted so well in ultimate Spiderman. I like the art style. Mary Jane brings new meaning to the word ultimate. Is there nothing sexier than a girl in overalls? Well I guess a girl out of overalls but that's a given.

          My only gripe is that they run through the storylines at super speed.

            Yeah, but she's supposed to be, like, 15 right? Ultimate Spider-Man is a retelling when they're all still in high school... or something?

            I dunno about that. I like my MJ a WOMAN. MMF.

            And they really went overboard in the dorky department for Peter.

              Hey man, if they draw them looking like 18 year olds I got no problem reading with my fingers in my ears. At least they don't have Peter in sweatervests this time around.

                Yeah, but I was plesently surprised by "The Ultimates." It thought it would suck the most hard, but it's really good. Surprisingly good. Astoundingly good. It has no right being that good. Emencly enjoyable.

                  True I guess but the classic art rules.



                  edit: Loki, The Ultimates is also by Bendis, right?

                    They seem okay judging by their Spiderman versions. But so did the X-men. If I was at all interested by Captain America or Ironman I'd pick it up. Also I just can't get over a superhero who's power is to turn into a pixie. I'd rather be Aquaman.

                    Except for sneaking into women's locker rooms. Man, I'd be the worst super hero ever. Look up in the sky! It's Unnecessary CPR Man!!!

                      Yes it is, and so I thought it would be terrible. The writing in X-Men is nothing to write home about. But Ultimates. Man. MAN.

                        Ultimates makes me want to pick up Marvel again.

                          Once they start making these X-TREME!!! versions of anything, I bow out. Wolverine with a hip goatee? Please. All the characters are just misfit versions of the ones I knew. No thanks.

                            These are the only comics I've ever read. Well except for the 300th issue of X-men. It had a foil cover and I was twelve or something. How could I resist.

                              Meh. I like Ultimate X-men. Mostly because I get a kick out of seeing their versions of the characters. Sure I like ultimate spiderman too...except for making Harry into Hobogoblin.
