WHAT? Why? Doesn’t a well-dressed Valkyrie, awesome Hawkeye, return of Venom, and membership of Wolvie, Spidey and Black Panther sway you?

This cover cemented it for me:

Yep, Civil War made 616 into the Ultimate-verse(with all the politicking and powers registration)…and Ultimate-U is now Marvel circa 1990…just without all the leather jackets and mullets…lol

Hmmmm….It looks like the Ultimate Universe is slowly becoming more like 616…While 616 is slowly becoming like the Ultimate Universe…

So we got wolvie, spidey, valkyrie, and venom in the first arc of the Ultimates. You know, one of the major selling points with The Avengers(and in turn, Ultimates) was that I got see interaction with characters that didn’t already appear in 3 other titles(Hawkeye, Scarlet Witch, Black Widow, Thor, Wonder Man, Ms. Marvel, Black Panther, Firestar, Vision, hell, even Ultimate Captain Mar-vell). Marvel whores out Spidey and Logan so goddamn much that I’ve deliberately tried to avoid anything related to them for the last decade. Only to have them both shoved up my nose in New Avengers. And now we’ve got them both in Ultimates 3? As for Joe Mad on art? He must hate continutity, as well as deadlines…

To be critical, several of the characters are drawn in the 616 style as opposed to the Ultimate U.

Venom didn’t have the Spider symbol, Wanda did not wear the traditonal costume (that I ever saw), Valkyerie(?) was a little waif-ish chick that had no powers and slept with Hank Pym. The Hawkeye with guns is do-able because he is shown as a straight marksman.

I’ve always enjoyed Thor’s old speech, and dig the facial hair.

Besides the cartoon, has Black Panther appeared in the Ultimate Universe?

Wait for the trade, but am curious if they will get all 5 issues out on time?

Not only the wrong Hammer, AND looking Half-Walrus, but rumours state that Ult. Thor is going to be doing ‘I Say Thee Nay’ talk as a result of Ultimate 2’s climax. Way to go, Loeb…let’s just take the worst aspect of the 616 Thor and graft it straight on, why don’t we…

Everyone is facing each other except for Magneto. I don’t know why, but that just really irritates me. Other than that, however, I really like the art.
