Ultimatum #2 : A question..
What. The Fuggin. HELL!!?

No, seriously, what the fuggin' hell!?

WHAT. HELL. FUGGIN'. THE!

There are so many not right things that I can't even give spoilers. But seriously, at exactly what point did they just decide to write this whole mess off as a crapstorm and just roll with it? This, this honestly makes me long for the tasteful and sane days of "Thor:Vikings". It makes Didio seem sane and reasonable by comparison. This.. this is to comic book writing what Hostess Fruit Pie ads were to comic book writing.



...

Seriously, what the fuggin' hell?

Discuss.

Gah, sorry Sep. I think I was still a little dazed. But, and I hate to say this as a spoiler.. but...

Blob. Blob eating Wasp. And not in the good way. Blob eating Wasp and saying "Tastes like chiken."..

Also, Magneto snapping Xavier's neck on the last page.



It's like, they know they're going to suck terribly, so they're doing anything and everything they can get away with. I am honestly expecting a scene in #3 with Tony digging up Widow's corpse for one last booty call.

He-what? Ate? What?

Oh god.

I still can't make myself feel anything but grim satisfaction everytime Xavier dies.

Hmm, ok.. I can agree with the Charlie-offing.

And as for the whats, ex-fuggin'-cactly.

There was this perfectly nice and semi-poignant scene of Hawkeye helping Hank. All about knowing what it's like to lose a wife and all. Next thing I know, there's ol' Fred Dukes, hands full o' Jan-meat.

I'm pretty sure the last thing I remember after was the sound of my brain slamming the door behind it on the way out of my apartment.

I made it from someone's fandom secret. There was a jester thing smoking a cigarette in the picture, but I decided not to include it.

What is this, writers-shit-on-Jan season? First Secret Invasion (and the total stripping of character development Bendis gave her beforehand), now this, and I AM NOT HAPPY.

I mentioned this to my resident comic book geek and they "helpfully" provided me with visuals. *cries blood*

Don't click if you have a weak stomach, srsly.

Oh, what the fuck.

From the description I thought he had just, like, grabbed Jan when she was small and popped her in his mouth or something. Not that.

Plus, this is Ultimate Blob, yeah? From what I read of Ultimate X-men he was just like regular Blob. Or did I miss something?

Well, he was. Well, other than the pretending to be a girl online to flirt with Beast. Or being Ulti!Liz Allen/Firestar's daddy, because mommy likey the circus freak strange.

But yeah, the eating people thing, is new..

Must explain the acne.

Wait... that's the real image?

It looks like a bad photoshop job. Like, they didn't put ragged edges around here her uniform is torn. The coloring just... stops. Not to mention it seems to have a massive case of "anatomy doesn't work that way." The biologist in me does not approve.

Although I've definitely seen too much gore hentai. My very first thought on seeing the picture was "Why are her boobs covered?" [Considering the context of the rest of the picture, I'm pretty sure they wouldn't be had it been done in H-gore.]

Meh. Outside of Ultimate!Spidey the rest of the Ultimate universe doesn't exist. So this doesn't bug me in the slightest.

They need to come up with a Non-Sucking Universe series. That comic I'd read.

Although maybe it would be a good idea to keep the Ultimate universe around, if only to keep Jeph Loeb occupied and away from the other ones.

Personally, I've decided to hide in Superhero Valhalla (aka Marvel Adventures) until this spiral of edgy and wangst is done with.

I haven't even decided if I care enough to pick up the rest of Ultimatum. I'm only picking up the last two issues of Ultimate X-men out of a misplaced sense of duty, since I've been reading that one since the very beginning and it was what got me into comics in the first place.

Every six months or so, I start to consider reading Marvel again. Luckily, every six months or so, Marvel gets together to remind me of exactly why I stopped reading Marvel in the first damn place. Thanks, Marvel!

Eh. It wouldn't be the Ultimate Universe if it wasn't trying way too hard to be "edgy" and "adult." I'm more upset over how Janet's 616 memorial issue was actually all about Hank.

And seriously, I don't believe Ulti!Xavier's dead. He'll be taking up residence in someone else's head soon enough.
