    So Ultimate FF has three additional members beyond the four on the cover

    Danny Ketch, former SHIELD Agent Phil Coulson and one secret member who Is "so despicable" that Fialkov is surprised Marvel let him use him.

    Two interviews with Fiakov about UFF. Looks like Machine Man is Gal Lak Tus Tech with Danny Ketch's consciousness in it (we'll fine out on Wednesday with Ultimates #3).
    And the way he keeps teasing the fifth member, I'm thinking it isnt Reed and is instead... Doom.

    edit: also seems like we are getting USM 200 in FEB!!
    [It's]a big old Valentine to all that we have done in the Ultimate Universe” in the form of the 200th issue of Ultimate Spider-Man just before the new series kicks off, which will bring together the entire cast of the book, and every artist who has ever worked on it.

    General handrule for superhero costumes:
    At most 2 major colours (which complement each other), 1 minor colour.

    If one of those 3 is black, you may have another minor colour.

    With the whole " Someone so despicable and reviled that I couldn't believe they'd let me use him (let alone that Sue would let him on her team after everything he's done to her...)"

    If it's not Reed, maybe Namor?

    I'm sure he exists but

    How about Ultimate Fantastic Four? I didn't read the comic, but I did read Ultimate Power, which has Thing referencing Sue "wrestling with that Namor guy" when she yelled at him and Johnny for calling the Serpent Squad hot.

    Excited for USM 200. USM was the comic that brought me back into comics the first time around a couple of years ago (and then Big Time brought me back again).

    Yeah ultimate namor was in FF

    He's not the prince of Atlantis he's a criminal that was locked up in a tomb/prison, less of a superiority complex and more being a cocky asshole

    I wouldn't describe him in the above way - Namor's a bad guy in the ultimateverse but he hasn't exactly done anything truly terrible (though he's threatened too). And the last time he and Sue were together they were allies.

    You're talking logic when comic book reasoning can override that so easily. Doom doesn't even exist in the Ultimate universe, he reformed himself and went on a one way trip into the Ultimate Cancerverse years before he reappeared with human legs and got compactor-ed.

    Namor was last seen at the end of Ultimatum, witnessing Ben killing Doom.

    Cataclysm: Ultimates issue 3:
    Danny Ketch is Machine Man. Also of significance is the scene showing him as Machine Man is more than likely post-Cataclysm with Agent Coulson revealing himself. Basically a sort of set up for Ultimate FF but a good issue overall, Fialkov has my interest in his Ultimate book.

    Oh and allegedly Frank Castle might have died. At the very least he's MIA.

    Ole Franky dies in the very first panel. That's who Fury is shooting in the head.

    We finish up the X-men Cataclysm mini this week, have no idea how that ends. Next week is issue 4 of the main series so I guess the whole thing ends in February and not March.

    Just read the last Cataclysm X-men book
    Quick read but good all the same. Pixie dies and the fate of Captain Marvel is left ambiguous. It ends with them getting out of the pocket dimension and heading out to face Galactus.

    you'll have to excuse me as i'm catching up on a month long hiatus from the posts and speculation, but...

    the all-new ultimates really excites me. the dynamic between miles, cloak and dagger, bombshell, and spider-woman (girl?) in ultimate spider-man is something i've really enjoyed. miles has been my peter proxy since peter went all professional super-scientist. miles just really has seemed to encapsulate the 'classic peter down-on-his-luck parker'. the fact that this crew will get it's own book sounds great to me. regardless of how all this cataclysm stuff ends, that is a group i would really like to see moving forward.

    please excuse my ignorance of both the ultimate universe and black widow...

    but if jess takes the mantle can i hope that she'll get a costume that's less of the (current) black leather utilitarian (pouches!) get-up and maybe something more fun; as jess doesn't really need to rely on gear?

    She's still wearing the Spider-Woman costume, she is just changing her name. Presumably to further become her own person.

    what happened to the original natalia in the ultimate universe, then? I presume she has left the mortal coil? or, maybe never used the moniker 'black widow'?

    i totally understand jess wanting to change the name given her origins; but, was there already a 'black widow' previously?

    Black Widow was revealed to be an evil bitch, so Hawkeye put her down

    The original Black Widow was a russian spy who seduced TOny Stark and murdered Hawkeye's family as part of a plot to take down the American Government. After the Ultimates successfully fight them off Hawkeye tracks her down and put an arrow in her chest.

    Since then Monica Chang took up the moniker and likely isn't long for this world since the plot for the new Ultimates is "All the Adult are either dead or Tony Stark so we need to sort the world out ourselves".

    Hey, is Kitty in the new Ultimates?

    I just want to say that this All-New Ultimates team is super rad. Basically a spin-off from Ultimate Spider-man, which is also super rad :D

    The regular cover would look better without the white outline around Spidey. I know it's supposed to put emphasis on him, but considering it's a team book it really shouldn't.
