    Even worse than that, Hooraydiation - they're still insisting that the original Sentry mini is in-canon, at least according to the recent Battle Damage Report write-up. I have no idea how canon that is, mind you, for don't hate me if it isn't. Talk about messy.

    The original Sentry mini is still canon, and how it fits in with current Sentry-in-Avengers continuity was dealt with in the "Sentry" arc of New Avengers, it was issues 7-10 if I recall right.

    Also, what was with Giltron looking all thin and shit, but when she punched, got punched, she was suddenly all cut and ripped? Was that just horribly inconsistent art because Cho wasn't drawing tits?

    what?

    that's not horribly inconsistent

    exaggerate much?

    besides, did you notice that she stayed all silver as well?

    it's probably shifting it's shape

    Man, Bendis is really good friends with Oeming, who if I'm not mistaken, wrote the Ares miniseries, so I doubt that he's just writing it off.

    Bendis + Oeming = Powers which also = awesome.

    Mathematical proof that Bendis is writing him fine.

    Yeah, Bendis doesn't really know how to write the Sentry or Ares or lots of characters very well lately. It just seems like that to me, anyway.

    I mean, there you have Ares being portrayed as a dumb brute who's not very skilled in the arts of war. And there you have lady Ultron somehow punching the Sentry hard enough to draw blood. Or something. Power of a million exploding suns (not a thousand, by the way). Sigh.

    Anyway, I will second Ultimates #13. Holy fucking shit that was awesome.

    I actually read some Powers. It's not that good. Ultimate Spider-Man fails pre-emptively because it has the word 'Ultimate' in it. I only bought one issue, and that's because it had Shadowcat and Deadpool in it. I wasn't bothering with Marvel around the time those other two came out. But I heard that D-Man was in one issue of Alias, so that's something.

    I'm willing to give Bendis a teeny bit for having Kitty around. Other than that, I really wish they'd give him and Quesada the boot.

    Awesome, I love how you pan one of the most beloved and acclaimed comics on the stands for the last 5+ years out of hand because it has the world Ultimate in the title.

    I'd give him slack if he had only read the UXM line (specifically frigging Kirkman), and as it is he did read part of the Ultimate Deadpool arc, which was pretty stupid (although the writing was still pretty good).

    Wow, I'm used to hearing some stupid reasoning for not liking something..but this one, that has to be in at least the top five. And it just makes it worst. That's like me saying that I don't read Amazing Spiderman because it has Amazing in the title.

    I think that if a sentry came back he wouldn't be able to go toe to toe. I think we found our solution to the "sentry is horribly broken and boring" problem.

    Bendis has very few mistakes for how much he writes. The most glaring ones to me are the entirety of Secret War and his characterization of Emma Frost in New Avengers:

    Other than that, I enjoy most things he writes.

    USM is one of the best books Marvel has. Has been since it started.


    UFF is pretty good too, and Ultimates would've been awesome if it was just on time. You need to rethink this Ultimate hate thing.

    If he's only read the recent stuff I could understand him not being too wowed by it. It's still pretty good, but up until the end of The Sellouts it was great.

    Terrax.

    Terrax really is most likely the weakest herald, especially if Annihilation is the gold standard for all things cosmic now.

    Beyond that, this is a different Ultron than we've seen before, so it's plausible that it's going to take more than a pickup truck and a tree branch to kill it this time. Besides, the only way to make the book interesting with the line-up it has is to rewrite all the villains to be near-gods or they'd be wiped out in two panels every time.

    This Ultron is basically Ultron+Tony Stark with EXTREMIS. Tony can scrap with Sentry for at least a little bit. Adding Ultron upgrades into the mix is fucking overkill.

    I'm surprised no one noticed Extremis is how Ultron took over the sheild helicarrier.
