    That looks incredibly idiotic. Yes, yes, major reference to the tons of characters like Superman Spiderman Colossus who've stopped a train like that, but damnit, use the Rocket Boots as a brake thruster! Providing force is what they're designed for, not as a source of friction.

    Though the "hype" that this had never been done is kinda false, as the president superman. Though it'll be interesting to see a non-superhuman deal with his UItimates duties and his President duties.

    It's a good move, even better if
    they actually have Cap fix a lot of stuff, and don't make some kind of statement about needing to be a politician or have him crumble under the pressure.

    I await the reunification of the United States of Americap, where we then kick Xorn and Zorn in the face and nuke Germany just to be safe and he sucker punches Miles because he needs to be trained!

    I'm not analyzing it at all, it seems obvious to me. Use Rocket Boots as Rocket Boots. Stark's supposed to be a genius, not just a guy with a super suit, so he should be written like one.

    Ultimates was Humphries best issue yet!
    Spider-Man was kind of filler issue, but still pretty all right. Though it's looking that Miles will join the Ultimates.
    Spider-Men ended
    The 616 mysterio is in jail in the ultimate universe. Peter gives Miles his approval and what not. Also, the end is Peter web searching Miles Morales, and it ends with Peter going "Oh my god". The mini series was a fun mini series, and issue 4 was easily the highlight.

    Hum....I wonder if Miles in the 616 turned out to have died like peter in the ultimate universe trying to be a hero (maybe with different or even similar powers).

    Marquez is killing it on Ultimate Spider-Man. I'd rather Pichelli replace Tan on Ultimates than come back. Then there'd be great art on both titles. Tan's work is... uneven.

    That would be kind of a letdown.
    Getting us all excited about seeing Peter meet 616 Miles only to take that away. Also, that would mean that a lot of the sequel would take place in flashback.

    My guess would be that 616 Miles is a criminal who grew up under the influence of Uncle Aaron, creating an interesting inverse of Peter Parker's own relationship with his uncle while also giving Peter a compelling reason to seek out 616 Miles and interfere in his life.

    Yeah, he would.

    Man, imagine young Miles confronting an older, evil version of himself in the 616 universe. After what Ultimate Prowler said to him, that would be a real kick in the pants.

    So, they finally revealed who Morez is
    No surprise, it's Modi. Though it'll be interesting to see what his "game" is.
    Ross is a def improvement over Tan, though there are still some panels that are :/. Other than that, the issue was fairly decent again. Though it def was "set-up" the new status quo issue. Humphries still seems to be trying to find his style, and is a little all over the place at times. Though he seems to clean up all the broken/independent states stuff a little too quickly / neatly. It'll be interesting to see where he takes it after UWS. Still enjoying it, but it's probably the weakest of the three ultimate books (though with a book like Wood's X-Men and Bendis' Spider-Man that's not really an insult)

    Did uh, did they really go with "Miles is Miles away from home?"

    Cool panel though. I'm always impressed how artists can make Spider-man look anguished despite the fact the majority of his face and body is covered by a suit.

    Iron Man #1 Preview!

    Larraz is doing a pretty good job of imitating Marquez' style (Ponsor's awesome coloring job probably sells it just as well).
    Iron Man is just that letterless preview from before, but with text now. Really like the final page with the credits. Also, like that they are continuing with the line side border things after UWS.

    Stuff from the Panel:

    "He's going to do something with the X-Men that's never been done," said Singh. "You're going to be really surprised by this one when you see it in a great Brian Wood way."

    When a fan asked about plans for Ultimate Jessica Drew to get her character more fleshed out, Pannicia and Humphries leaned away from the microphone and had a brief conversation before Pannicia leaned in and said, "Keep reading."

    Havoc will be back sometime in 2013.

    "Nick Fury has been in 'Ultimate X-Men.' He's a guy who's spent most of his professional life working for S.H.I.E.L.D.," said Humphries. "He has a contingency plan on what would happen if this ever happened to him and he's about to pull it off."

    Singh teased new costumes for the X-Men, giant battles with big Sentinels and more.

    Pannicia also confirmed more on the Ultimate Beetle will likely be coming up in 2013 in "Ultimate Spider-Man."

    The lightning round of yes-or-no questions started -- including Pannicia answering a fans question about a book beyond the core three Ultimate books such as an "Ultimates Runaways" book. Pannicia answered, "Yes."

    This is just completely not believable. The X-Men have had the same themes the very beginning, and really the XMen now are still as they were defined in the 80s.

    Has there ever been a story that's just been "eh, mutants are okay." Like not the typical "Mankind fears mutants" or the opposite "Mutants rule mankind in a dystopian future" but just plain old "mutants are just everyday people and while there's a always going to be mutant haters, for the most part people just don't care anymore."
