I'm also glad they never wrote an awful origin for Ultimate Iron Man that gave him some kind of stupid healing factor, or gave him a dumb sci-fi reason for his alcoholism. I can sleep easy knowing that these things NEVER HAPPENED. I don’t know what you guy’s are talking about, but I’m glad that Marvel stopped publishing “Ultimate” books after Ultimates 2 #13.

None at all. I don't know if Jeph has his friend's buying copies or if his longtime fanbase is really that strong. Maybe the kids love it because it's got ridiculous violence and bad language or something? The only one question I ask is "Who are his editors and why are they getting paid to do it?" I understand his books are at the top of the sales charts every month (god knows why) but doesn't Marvel have any shred of self-respect? There has to be at least one professional willing to tell him that he's completely lost his ability to tell a story. Of course, Miller and Claremont are still around too, so I guess he's not exactly alone in that regard. At least it'll be over soon, right? Of course, we got Ultimates 4 or whatever right after it, so I guess we'll be reading about the downfall of the 'Ultimate' line in a different way. Hopefully. (Sidenote: Speaking of tidal waves signifying the end of good alternate Marvel universes with creator problems leading to the end of the line...does anyone else miss 2099? I'd much rather see Peter David restart/continue that section of the Multiverse than more of this.) I stopped asking the “Who’s buying this?” question months ago, since there is no logical answer.

I picked up Ultimatum 4 and Ult Spiderman in the store and read them back to back...and got whiplash. How is it that the silent comic is by far the better written? Oh, right. Because of Loeb. My hatred for that man has grown exponentially. I think I nearly popped a blood vessel when Dr. Strange bought it. Anyway, I think we'll end up looking back on this as the end of an age; an age when Ultimate Spiderman was good, when the Ultimate Comics were good, and when Loeb was safely elsewhere. Now that he's part of the new Ultimate universe, I don't think I'll be going anywhere near the place. I agree.
