You guys always talk about how great it is. Is this the future of Marvel?

Haven't read any of it lately anyway



Is their an actual civil war going on between marvel fans between the classic continuity and the Ultimate continiuity.


At some some point, one of them is going to end.......


but which one?

Erm... not really.

Ultimates is a slightly more "realistic" look at how superhumans might cope, deal and be dealt with in our society.... anyone who is an "Illegal Genetic Mutation" is hunted down by SHIELD and treated like terrorists, mutants don't fall under that category because they are born that way, but changing yourself deliberately is a criminal act.

Plus their versions of Galactus, Mojo, Captain Marvel, etc... are all a little more believable

It's great because it presents a fairly believable, well thought out alternative to the 616 universe. Realistic is the word.

Except Ultimate Spiderman, he sucks.

Can't wait for "Ultimate Power" .... Supreme Power crosses over to Ultimate Marvel Earth... no doubt there will be plenty of fighting

Supreme Power Hyperion Vs Ultimate Thor! ....

Hell yes.


I thought the ending to the latest issue of Ultimate Fantastic Four was interesting, with Doom crossing over to the Marvel Zombie universe.

Seems like the closest we'll get to an Ultimate/616 crossover for a long while, anyway.

Still cool though.

I believe Marvel has already stated that there won't be any crossing over. Lack of imagination, and such.

I really hope they stick to this

I just read an interview on it.... apparently they are going to try to make this crossover have long lasting effects (unlike every other multi-universe crossover in the history of comics)

Except that Ultimate Doom crossing over the zombie universe isn't even close to being a 616-Ultimate cross over.

I didn't say it was close, only that it was the closest we were going to get to an Ultimate/616 crossover. After all, the zombie universe essentially is the 616 universe, just with... well, zombies.

Well, if you look at it that way

But I dont think Doom accomplished much because in Marvel Zombies they are seen devouring planets after eating Galactus and Doom appeared just when they were about finishing eating Galactus.

I dunno. That Galactus bug bot/mindless Surfer droid stuff was pretty weak.

Compared to what? a giant purple space god going around eating planets with a little silver guy on a surfboard? I mean COME ON! .... a freakin' SURFBOARD!!!......... IN SPACE!!!!!!!



Alien AI with nano-viruses are much more feasible

Didn't say it was less feasible. Said it was lame.

don't really like anyone in ultimate U.

they all just seem like jerks to me. except for spidey he's a nice guy but he's lame.



and I guess the whole more realistic approach is a something people really like.

I couldn't care less. It's not like I read comics for realism.

I like the worlds in my comics to have as much realism as possible .... it makes them much easier to relate to

If its going to be as 'realistic' as the rest of the counterpart issues; Thor dies after Hyperion farts !

Attempt to bash Ellis again and i will personally KILL you ... U are not worthy !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Doesn't piss some off. Nah if anything it increases the audience. If you want the regular 616 then there are books for you and if you want a new take you have the ultimate line.

why is it called the 616?

Maybe Galactus knew that Earth was 71% water and wanted his herald to be "cool"

Millar proved that Ult. Doom > Everybody

Which is a little dissapoinitng..... if he comes back and starts acting all evil again then there may be no realistic way for anyone to stop him (unless Ultimate Dr Strange helps out)

Cool what happened, I stopped reading UFF4 a while ago.

Yeah that was real tight when Doom was announced to be the strongest, the only thing I don't get is why the Invisible Woman couldn't make fields in him, can she not make a force field inside of steel?
