The Gwen and Peter kiss left a bad taste in my mouth. Didn't feel right.
I think it ruined the whole issue for me. I didn't think I liked MJs character that much, but I guess I did.
I have a feeling the whole sex issue will pop up (ha!) again, since they all just survived a super duper catastrophe and felt like it was the right time, and it messed up their relationship.
Gwen will totally turn back into Carnage, swing back to the top of the bridge, and eat the Green Goblin or whomever knocked her off. Then she'll offer to have sex with Peter right there, he'll decline, and in the years to come he'll suffer constant flashbacks and regard that moment as the worst, most traumatic mistake of his entire superhero career.
The dickheads who run one of my LCS's are charging $25 fucking dollars for the foilgram UC variants. Say what you will about the decision from Marvel to even offer them but they made it clear it wasn't supposed to raise the cost of the comic! And the LCS I go to doesn't offer them on general principle so I can't even get them now.

See, I thought all the issues were to be foilosupergrams, so there wouldn't be the inflation. But my LCS was selling the Avengers and Spidey variants for $15.
I think Quesada, who btw says it wasn't his decision to offer foilgram covers, said those covers are just like regular variants and should be treated as such. Maybe I'm just spoiled since my LCS doesn't charge extra for any variant covers. They're not too fond of screwing over their customers, which is why I'm loyal to them.
On a side note, the other comic shop I mentioned actually sold out of the UCSM foilgram variants. I don't know how many they ordered but someone or ones willingly paid 25 bucks for a regular variant.

Most shops charge extra for variants. They have to order a certain amount of the normal cover to get one variant cover.
All I know is this will eventually lead to Gwen getting pitched off a bridge and I can live with that
There's absolutely no reason to have that happen in the Ultimate Universe. She already died once, and I'm hopeful that means she gets to stick around for the rest of the comic.

Same. Gwen is awesome.
Still, a fight between Carnage and whatever MJ turned into would be awesome.

so it's... mixed? or just bad?
Ultimatum is one of the most terrible and sickening things that ever happened to the Ultimate Universe. Terrible Narration, dumb plot, overused gore etc etc
USM seems to be pulling itself back together. The Current plot seems quite interesting though it is still too early to speak since only 1 issue had been relased.
meh... Ultimate Cap has never rung true to me. I mean, I get where they are coming from, with him being a product of the 30's and 40's and that explaining his attitude... but it always sounds so forced and hokey... I'm just not a fan.

And naturally, still no sign of New Ultimates or another ongoing. Regarding New Ultimates, I'm guessing one of two things. Either Marvel has listened to all the fan hatred toward Ultimates 3 and Ultimatum and just dropped the book altogether, or they're giving Frank Cho ample time to get issues done so there will no delays when it does come out. Since I know it isn't the first option, I'm going for the second.

Bleeding Cool reported from Chicago that Frank Cho has one issue of New Ultimates done, after having originally started with sketches for the series 5 months ago.
When I talked with Cho at a convention in June he mentioned he had issue 1 done and was working on 2. Interestingly, he said he's only doing 5 issues total, and didn't even realize it supposed to be an ongoing.

The fourth book is going to be Ultimate Armor Wars and it's a mini
I'm pretty sure Marvel said the 4th book would be an ongoing but I might be wrong. I just want to see Ed Brubaker write an Ultimate Comics book just to see him cut loose in a less restrictive (in terms of continuity) environment.

There's a Loeb/Art Adams book that has been in the pipeline for a good while.
Did dudes from the 30's and 40's really talk like that?
See. I really don't think they did. I just think everyone who writes Cap thinks they did.
Cap just comes off as a giant, anachronistic douche to be completely honest.

There's not enough goshes or gees for him to be authentic 30's and 40's. And not enough calling woman dames.
I remember having to watch a Disney documentary for an animation class I took way back when, where they had some early recordings\interviews of animators from that period talking. It was pretty aggravating to listen to them speak.
I'm glad cap isn't an all gollygee boyscout. i think if he was a war hero who was constantly in the midst of it, he'd have to be a bad ass, and guys in the army would respect a bad ass. My biiggest problem with UA was the ending.
red skull is caps kid. come on! how corny and overused is this chestnut? i would have rather red skull was ultimate caps bucky? or how about japanese from nagasaki? how about thw only succesful supe soldier from the nazi's program? anything other than caps kid really would have been better.
Other than that i can't complain about the issue, good art, interesting enough restart.
I was more disappointed with ult spidey. can't say i care for the art. honestly bagley was impossible to live up to, and I've got a pretty big hate on for anime style american art. And the writing was a little too vague. I don't want to have to care about who this tall dude in the red is.
I can't see how peter is not with mj after ultimatum. Gwen was never into him before why now? seems contrived. where's the clone? wheres kitty? wheres iceman? wheres whats her name who catches on fire and went to the xmen? wheres the dialogue and te humor that made me like ult spidey in the first place?
For the most part ultimatum was a piece of crap, which we all need to be extricated from post haste.

Chick turns into a red homicidal monster and then turns back and wants to fuck on top of a bridge?
You bet your ass I'd do it
Don't they do that every month? *rimshot*

WHAT KIND OF GIRL IS STOPPED BY A BOMB
Ultimate Cap is the best.
Or at least he was until Ultimates 3.
But he's back now and we can all be happy.

Though dames is pretty inoffensive in my eyes, if TLB likes it you know there's something wrong
everything I like is awesome
fact

It would work better, I think, if the other characters weren't such assholes too.
