I have read his Authority work and I liked it, but his Ultimate Fantastic Four was awful. I agree with ScarletSpider when he said he only does really well with teams he started with.
BTW, I would hate to Avengers as Authority counterparts. No thank you
The Doom story? it wasn't that bad.... fair enough they changed doom to be more like movie doom with the metal skin.... but having him be poor wasn't a big deal, he comes back soon and it seems he's doing better for himself
Yes it came out. I've already scanned it and since it's a Civil War tie-in, I'll be posting it in the Civil War thread as soon as I finished loading it.

No all i mean is that he can handle teams very well, and is good at producing characters that are interesting to read .... Something that Brusiek couldn't hope to achieve in his wildest dreams.

Indeed ... I was alot more interested in goat like Doom than i was Pagan/Kang, during the apparently legendary Brusiek run.
The problem with Ultimate FF4, is that its unlikely to be ever the writers priority. For example both Millers and Bendis work on it doesn't really compare to their respective Ultimate Spider man/X men work. Which is why i dropped the book some time ago. If anything i think the series has suffered, as it was originally set to be written by Morrison, by he left at the last minute for an exclusive D.C. contract.

I agree at some extend. I hated what they did to Doom initially but he seem fine now. Lately it hasne been too bad and Greg Lands artwork is simpy amazing.

Vlad Tepes relation - What the ? ..Ok i guess it makes him more 'europian' but still stating that doom is related to Dracula is kinda odd..
The hooves - Ok , we get it. Tepes = Son of satan . Very funny , now wheres the real bad-ass doomness
Sue constantly mentioning that she and reed make out - You like swapping spit , good for you now get on with the damn story.
Doom's rocket launcher - WHAT THE HELL !!! , Doom does NOT pull a goddamn rocket launcher out of his coat and fire upon the F4 !!!
Dragon Tattoo - ENOUGH OF THE DAMN DRACULA REFERENCES !!!
Some of the artwork - Part's looked ..'iffy' , noticeably in reed and Ben's conversation Ben's ability to go to 'go to the bathroom'
Hogwarts mention - This is F4, not harry potter . End of story
Doom's constantly changing hair colour - Blonde then black ..wha-huh ?
Things I liked
Dialogue - It was quite smooth and realistic , with a few joeks placed here and their on most pages
Ben and Johhny ribbing on the Fantasticar - The name (In retrospect) does sound really silly...
Doom's powers - The quills were a little weird , but still pretty decent . The poison gas I like for some reason...i have no idea why ? If we could add in the electro-kinetic powers his movie counterpart had we might actually have a threat in the form of Ultimate Doom
Origin's of Clobbering time - Nice touch
Doom's 'legacy' - The constant mumbling of the bloodlines was intriguing , as was his abuse at the hands of his farther
Doom's Crazy - This was a nice counter balance to the usually calm and collected doom of 616 , the ranting was good to.
Reed's missing organs - It makes sense , after all how the hell would his body be able to stretch ?
Reed's mention of the think tank members - The sight of a guy sitting in the middle of a particloe accelerator playing a banjo makes me laugh...
Doom's robot's - Ok ..they do suck. But the idea behind the 'impalement' and the cannibalization of the parts was unique
Ben's threat of the soldier - "I knocked out a frickin sea-monster , what are you going to do soldier boy"
Tattoo - The idea behind it was pretty neat...
Sue getting nosebleeds - much like reed's powers it makes sense
