The soup got pissed in when Loeb came onboard and did Ultaimtes 3. I dont think he actually read anything but a synopsis of Ultimates 2 or 3 so he completely missed Millar's tone and approach. It was basically the 616 Marvel Heroes except they could do edgy things like incest.

When Millar came back i loved the not too subtle in comic nod to the fact that Loeb had Loebbed the Universe he helped create:

😂

I didn't catch that as a jab at Loeb, but that's hilarious.

And tragic, of course. But we have to get our amusement somewhere.

Part 2 - Galactus BFR'd to the N-Zone:

Absolutely perfect ending. All in all, this was easily one of Marvel's best events to date... Bendis is brilliant. 👆

A must read of 2014

I smell an Eisner Award...

Thank God I skipped it all together and didn't buy into the hype.

TBH, she wasn't even trying to fight back in that instance, while Superman did put some effort into actually trying to hurt her.

I found it the other way around. PG had no control over herself and was probably going all out unintentionally, while superman was the one trying to help her against batman's wishes.

The one thing that pisses me off though is that Thor never got to see a conclusion to his encounter with Sentry. That shit imo is just poor story telling after the build up.

He did face him when Wasp saved his *ss. Besides, you know how that worked for Thor on his return match against Tutinax mmm

I dont read too much abstract material (I leave that for people like Mr. Masters, Galan, operator, etc...) but is Exitar on or above a fed Galactus level?

I'd choose Big G.

The Scrier and Other fight is still fresh in my mind.


He's more powerful than the rest of the 4th Host of Celestials combined. Which should theoretically put him on the same level as the Votron Celestial which defeated Galactus.

Shame too because the precursor/lead-in issue(which wasn't written by Bendis) was brilliant. Actually got me excited for the event.

Bendis pretty much wiped his ass on each and every page, though. A dozen or so issues that featured Galactus.... Not really doing anything at all, before getting owned by BFR. Love it. 👆


Interestingly enough, the Negative Zone bfr was one of the many options considered to neutralize Exitar as well in the recent Uncanny issue.

Disagree. Apparently her power levels were skyrocketing to the point that she was doing crap she didn't mean to do so. She was scared to even move if it meant blowing up the world. That kind of a dynamic can probably count as one not trying to actively fight back against their opponent.

Superman vs being held by unbreakable chains.

Hulk vs being held by an abstract.

🙂

Said abstract was only half at full strength and but out was taking up a significant amount of his strength but said abstract was tricked by Dazzler into raising hulk but said abstract managed to effortlessly mind control Dr Strange, Deadpool, Ghost Rider and Scarlet Witch but said abstract did say he was weaker in this realm which us why he errata his "hunting mask", to hide him from those who would wish him harm

It was a mistake to trust Hulk. I feel betrayed.

It was Thor who failed, actually. He can't do a single thing right.
