kinda how my conversation went with my gf
"hows this ultimatum thing?"
"well alot of characters have died so far"
"OMFG like in a epic battle for all humanity?! i want details!"
"nahhh it was a tidal wave and some suicide bombers later on that did most of the damage"
"....... so hows Punisher dark regin?"
yeahhh... =/ hoping for a good ending.

They honestly should have put someone who can think of creative ways to kill people to write this.
Because if the entire series is just killing off characters at least make it entertaining.
Oh I have nothing against Loeb. He's written some brilliant stuff. My point is, I simply don't care who is writing it, I care about the plot. To say the plot sucks in this story is a massive understatement. I've imagined better stories than this and I've imagined some pretty crap stories....
I just hop when Millar returns to the title he will resurrect the characters I liked (The Ultimates) ignore Loeb's run and just carry on like it didn't happen...... droolio

As long as Millar writes like he did during his run on the Ultimates and not like what he's doing now with the Fantastic Four, it will be a good thing.
(Seriously, his run of the FF is pretty much garbage if you ask me)
Originally posted by Grimm22actually I find his fantastic four to be at least interesting unlike the writer before him (I think it was mcduffie). The masters of Doom have sparked my curiosity and if played proper it could be a really good arc.

So many people died.Why is this happening, is Marvel closing the Ultimate Universe?
Worse, they left Loeb alone in the Ultimate offices with a pen and paper (he's not allowed a computer.)
They're not closing it, just revamping it. The ultimate universe will limp on after this, just without everyone's favourite characters ✅
