The Ultimate X-MEN Thread

[The Black Mask]

i didnt see a thread for this... well, here it is. everything ultimate x-men here.

http://www.hillcity-comics.com/poster_misc/ultimate_xmen_50.jpg

[squeekness]

I love Ultimate X-men, I have since I got the very first issue. The only bummer is what they did with Ultimate Gambit but I'm hoping that gets recified soon in some manner at least. It won't be enough for me to stop reading it tho. Rock on!

[Kevin]

Ultimate x-men is the best ultimate book, imo.

[GNR]

Thanks for making the thread Henry.There is alot of UXM discussion on here but it's really scattered.

COMICBOY is right.UXM is the best Ultimate book alongside The Ultimates.

I started following UXM at issue 1 but stopped after I bought issue 3.I really wish I followed it up to now but I fell off the comic thing for a long time.I've recently been purchasing what back issues are available of UXM.I really hope they keep the Ultimate brand running for as long as they can.They definitely brought onboard a sh/tload of new fans,so getting rid of it may only get rid of them.

The current arc,Magnetic North,is shaping to be huge and proably one of the series' best arcs thus far.It's going to have a huge impact,I can feel it.

[GNR]

Though it's highly unlikely,wouldn't it be awesome if someone like Jim Lee drew UXM for a while?

loeb will be writing for MARVEL again, so ya never know. it could happen.

[GNR]

loeb will be writing for MARVEL again, so ya never know. it could happen.

What title?

[Lt. Figgnuts]

I believe he's taking over The Ultimates after Millar and Hitch finish up on Ultimates 2.

[The Black Mask]

What title?

ultimates volume 3 with mauderia art.

[Caliber]

I'm glad they finally give Cyclops a personality. I like most of the changes UXM has but why don't they just say Ult Colosus is gay?

[squeekness]

I'm glad they finally give Cyclops a personality. I like most of the changes UXM has but why don't they just say Ult Colosus is gay?Maybe they are afraid to offend someone. I for one wish they would simply hook him up with someone -- not Northstar, he's too arrogant for such a sensitive guy like Colossus -- but somebody. It's almost like saying it's okay to be gay as long as you're alone. The guy needs to get laid, seriously! :p

[FieryBalrog]

well, its pretty obvious. I dont think its about offending anyone so much as not being crass. After all, theyre pretty open about Northstar.

[Kevin]

JoMaud art?Whoa,don't know what to think of that.

[The Black Mask]

JoMaud art?Whoa,don't know what to think of that.

at least loeb will be writing ultimates vol 3

I don't it would offend anyone but its stupid reading it half of the time. He hits on every guy they meet. Northstar, Longshot, Wolverine, just give Colossus a love interest.

[Crowley9]

It was good to see dear old fatherland Finland housing the Weapon X base, though I can guarantee you won't find mountains like that here. There are a couple of things I hate about Ultimate X-Men. First is Sabretooth. He's pretty much a carbon copy of the main series one. Oh look, he's got adamantium! Big f-ing deal. How does that change his character? The other thing is Forge. He uses the word 'dude' in a way that should constitute as grounds for capital punishment.

[Sun_Down]

I love Ultimate X-men, I have since I got the very first issue. The only bummer is what they did with Ultimate Gambit but I'm hoping that gets recified soon in some manner at least.

No offense or anything, but THIS is why we as comic book fans are given no credit as discerning readers. We complain that deaths aren't a serious thing, but everytime a character dies, even if it's done really well, people complain. Just let him be. He's dead.

[Doomed_hero]

I love this comic and belive the current arc is shaping up to be the best.

About U. Gambit, I was sad when he died, but I hope they never bring him back cause i would like death to be a serious thing in the Ulitmate universe. IUts like Gwen Stacy in Ulitmate Spider-Man, her death was sudden, but thats life and I would not wanting her to be brought back.

[Langoth]

Ultimate X-men has been very lackluster lately until Magnetic North.

I am really digging the current arc, but the few issues before this have not interested me at all, and I'm not exactly a fan of Ultiamte Sinister, or the fact Apocalypse is most likely his delusion.

[Caliber]

So are they going to make Ult Apocalypse soon?

[FieryBalrog]

So are they going to make Ult Apocalypse soon?

hopefully not, Apocalypse is such a yawn when he's trying to be taken seriously.

I like the whole "figment of imagination or not?" thing going right now.

[gambitx925]

i cant wait for the apocalypse story, i hope they make beast and gambit part of his horseman, i know it sounds a little xtreme but, i think its a good idea.

[Caliber]

i cant wait for the apocalypse story, i hope they make beast and gambit part of his horseman, i know it sounds a little xtreme but, i think its a good idea.

I hope it happens but I hope its good and not slow in development.

[GNR]

Magnetic North is the best story in a while.

I bought back issues of Cry Wolf and The Most Dangerous Game just to see what I missed out on.They aren't as bad as some people have made them out to be.But they're not as good as Magnetic North.

New Mutants was pretty good.

[Langoth]

Congrats Balrog, then you want the X-men with only... One competent major intelligent villain!

Magneto is the only half decent villain they have, Ultimate Mr. Sinister is a joke, and most of their other villains are just thugs, of course, that is unless you count Wratih, but he's dead now IIRC.

No, they need more villains, who are not just thugs.

[FieryBalrog]

No, they need more villains, who are not just thugs.
And that would be... just like the main comics! (with the possible exception of Mystique).


since when was Apocalypse ever a competent, intelligent villain? Or, for that matter, Mr. Sinister, whose mad scientist schemes always made him seem like a bit of a lovable clown to me.

[Langoth]

Mr. Sinister is a mastermind villain, and the real potential is there for Apocalypse.

Mr. Sinister has had a massive impact, and is always in the shadows, even now.

Now, we have basically one guy, and so no, thats not like 616 comics.

At least 616 at one point had the HFC, oh wait, they are now a joke too *rolls eyes*

[GNR]

Someone posted a report on here saying how Garney is going to take over with another writer after Magnetic North wraps us.This is great news,I love Garney's art,especially his run on Uncanny X-Men.

[Noon]

Been reading UXM http://www.superherohype.com/forums/images/smilies/xmenx.gif from the beginning, tis definately the best ultimate marvel. Magnetic north shaping up to be one of the best arcs so far! Magneto is the best he's ever been here in my view because he has been given a clear and coherent ideology, we actually think he may have a point, instead of just being a boring ranting maniac...interaction between Polaris and Magneto = YAY

But whats with Ultimate Longshot in issue #62, that seemed a random interuption to the main story??

Annual #1 was awesome!

[jaydawg]

I dont understand how anyone can say that with Ultimates around. That and the majority of USM far out weighs the bad. Once Millar was gone, that was pretty much it for UXM.

[storyteller]

I miss beast. I hope he comes back.

[The Black Mask]

I miss beast. I hope he comes back.
i miss him too. he's gone though.

[mightiest_mortal]

I miss beast. I hope he comes back.
But normal Beast is in Astonishing X-Men??
Why do you need Ultimate Beast back?

let the dead stay dead I say.

[Darthkush]

wait a minute, when did Ultimate Gambit die? Was that in that Ultimate X-men annual? I missed it. Was that when it happened?

[The Black Mask]

wait a minute, when did Ultimate Gambit die? Was that in that Ultimate X-men annual? I missed it. Was that when it happened?

apparently he's gone... in ultimate x-men annual

[SpyD]

ya, i hope they dont start doing what happened in the normal universe. lke, there, everyone who dies comes back to life. i think doc ock came back to life and died around 3 or 4 times, and then they brought colossus back(though i love astonishing xmen and im glad they did so) and psylocke and so many other people. Everyone dead there doesnt really die lol so yea i think it would be better if people who die actually die.

[GNR]

I dont understand how anyone can say that with Ultimates around. That and the majority of USM far out weighs the bad. Once Millar was gone, that was pretty much it for UXM.

To each his own.UXM is the better book in my opinion.

[Jasmine]

UXM is very good IMO. Vaughn is doing a great job, and I'm going to miss him. Ultimates is good but my issue with it is that the team is frequently fighting against one of their own, instead of other adversaries with the exception of the alien invasion. First it's Hulk, Giant Man, Thor now the whole traitor business.

[The Black Mask]

i am not happy wit UXM right now.

[FieryBalrog]

I haven't really been disappointed with Ultimate XM since... well.. the beginning. :)

[The Black Mask]

vauhgan writting superheroes i don't like. immonnen or whatever, can't stand his art

[Brainiac 8]

I'm kinda worried about Singer's arc, does the man have any comic experience? I hope it turns out ok.


Plus, Magnetic North is one of the best arcs they have done.:up:

[Slimfingerz]

Ultimates is x10 better than ultimate x-men

[Joaqenix]

vauhgan writting superheroes i don't like. immonnen or whatever, can't stand his art
Is Immonen the person doing the art right now? If so, I agree with you on that one. I really can't stand the art in Magnetic North right now. Their faces all look...weird.

[GNR]

Ultimates is x10 better than ultimate x-men

Says you bub!Ultimates is also a good book I've been meaning to catch up with.

I'm kinda worried about Singer's arc, does the man have any comic experience? I hope it turns out ok.


Plus, Magnetic North is one of the best arcs they have done.:up:

Yes,this current arc is one of the best in the entire series.Don't get so bent up about Singer,someone posted on here that Garney would be drawing the books after MN with a new writer as well.I forget the writer's name,but I'll look.

[The Black Mask]

Is Immonen the person doing the art right now? If so, I agree with you on that one. I really can't stand the art in Magnetic North right now. Their faces all look...weird.

yep. it's immonen.

[The Black Mask]

i want millar and finch or somelse for new creative team

[The Black Mask]

Ultimates is x10 better than ultimate x-men

at the current time. yes.

[KingOfDreams]

Like most of the Ultimate books, UXM hasn't interested me at all...but that might change when Kirkman comes on board.

[The Black Mask]

kirkman might be cool on ultimate x-men

[jaydawg]

Dont get me wrong, I like Vaughn. I love his characterization on UXM, its just the stories themselves that are lackluster. I like how he tries to go against the grain, but more often than not it doesnt work. Best example would be his Sinister arc. Great characterization. Terrible villain and plot. Best example of it occasionally working was the UXM annual. I really doubt anyone saw that coming.

[The Black Mask]

dazzler is so cool.

http://hyperion2000.free.fr/Pics/D/Dazzler(Ultimate).JPG

[Specter313]

hopefully not, Apocalypse is such a yawn when he's trying to be taken seriously.

I like the whole "figment of imagination or not?" thing going right now.

Well, they showed Sinister still alive, but in prison, and he was still ranting about the coming of his master, so they obviously still have plans for Apocalypse.

[GNR]

The only worthy villain they've had so far is Magneto.UXM needs another villain just as strong characterwise as Magneto.Sinister is a lost cause unless the writer's figure out something nice for him.

[The Black Mask]

needs new writer and artist to be better than what it is

[GNR]

Hey Henri!

We're getting a new writer and artist right after Magnetic North,so it's all good for you.

[The Black Mask]

if it wasn't getting a new creative team, i was gonna drop it from my pull list

[GNR]

It's not that bad!It's still a good book,especially with the current MN arc.

[ctvampslayer]

Wow, I'm surprised you're against the writing and art. I actually love it, Ult. X-Men is one of my favorite titles and I can't wait for part 4.

[GNR]

[XwolverineX]

:xmen:Ultimate X-men is my favorite comic right now, period.I love magnetic north so far, and i'm glad Wolverine isn't a so short:up:.The art isn't to my liking, but it isn't horrendous.I'm very excited for the A0A and Dark Pheonix storylines that should be coming up very soon,especially since I just bought X-men legends 2:Rise Of The Apocalypse, and since the dark pheonix movie is on it's way.Havoc is written superbly so far,as well as most others.So all in all, i love the characterization, stories and action,Way to go to everyone who has worked on UXM, especially mr. Vaughan.:)

[JoeCat]

as you said... lost cause lol

It'll be interesting to see if they even do ANYTHING now with Apocalypse.....

[XwolverineX]

Of course they'll do something with Apocalsypse, you don't need Sinister to have Apocalypse.

[GNR]

One more day and MN pt.4 is here!Yay.

[XwolverineX]

it comes out tomorow!!REJOICE!!

[The Black Mask]

i a m glad to see a new creative team coming abroad for this title.

[XwolverineX]

what do you mean??? after magnetic north the team is changing right, i hopw the art is different.

[The Black Mask]

i don't like the art. i don't care for the stories. i am losinig interest in ultimate x-men.

[GNR]

I in fact like the way Bendis and Vaughan have handled UXM.

[The Black Mask]

bendis was awesome. and so was millar on UXM.

[Black Queen]

i a m glad to see a new creative team coming abroad for this title.

I'm glad too!!! Ultimate X-Men is the worst by FAR x-title for the time being!!!!

:down

Do we live in the same world??????????
Cause everything you said just rang wrong to me!

[squeekness]

I don't know, Black Queen. Maybe you're reading different version of this book than the rest of us. I think if a poll was done, you'd find the majority of readers are more than satisfied with this book. It ranks about as high if not the same as the flagship X-titles. If the book was that bad, it wouldn't be up there. My suggestion is that if you hate it so badly, you drop it at your earliest convenience if you haven't already. :)

[GNR]

Well I dropped it 2 years ago!!! I think that the title trie to catch up (alternatively) all the classic storylines!! An alternate universe for me is like "age of Apocalypse"...Not Ultimate "let's do this again by new terms"!!!

By the way how was your research???;)

[The Black Mask]

i guess bryan singer is gonna write an arc for UXM.......

[The Black Mask]

i would like frank cho to be the artist of UXM for a story arc or so.

[Trigger]

My biggest gripe is that UXM hasn't done anything spectacularly new. Most of the events in this book have happened in the main universe. I find it funny that the writers have much more freedom in this series, but don't do anything new.

[The Black Mask]

yeah. new things for UXM.

[squeekness]

i guess bryan singer is gonna write an arc for UXM.......I heard it was going to get pushed back again! I am beginning to wonder if we are ever going to see his arc! *pouts*

[GNR]

i guess bryan singer is gonna write an arc for UXM.......

It's already been posted that Kirkman and Raney will take over after Magnetic North.

[GNR]

I for one love the UXM book,it's the only book on my pull list at my shop.It definitely beats all this House of M mumbojumbo going on.I have always been a fan of the X-Men and own several back issues.However,fans like me who want to come back to reading the books will enjoy UXM because it's just only just begun even though we're 60+ issues into the run and it just has a freshness to it.

This was said when the series launched. This is not a "what if" book, it's for newer readers or the curious like myself. Going over old groud was to be expected.

i couldn't have said it better myself

[squeekness]

oh. so singer is not writing UXM.He is, and I think the arc is done, they just haven't actually made it. It's just sitting on a shelf somewhere waiting to be made.

[The Black Mask]

He is, and I think the arc is done, they just haven't actually made it. It's just sitting on a shelf somewhere waiting to be made.

i will not pick it up as i skipped picking up liefeld on teen titans.

[squeekness]

I like this title too much to drop it. For me it's been too much fun seeing my people reimagined. It don't take it personally if something is radically different (ie. Henry's mean parents and Longshot being a dick), I just accept it as AU and go with the flow. :up:

[GNR]

Alot of people on here are overly critical of many writer's today.As long as a writer can give me a good entertaining story to put my feet up to for 5 or 10 minutes,to me it's a good story.UXM rules.

[The Black Mask]

i don't care for scripts by waid or vaughan and others i can't think of right now.

[MattXG]

Check out "Ultimate Nightmare".:up:

And I think The Ultimates has been and still is the best book Marvel puts out. And I really like the UXM books. They are doing a fine job with them, too.:up:

[squeekness]

Check out "Ultimate Nightmare".:up:

Nightmare was good, I'm just disappointed that it's sequel, Ultimate Secret, was so long delayed. At least it's catching up now. Both runs have been very good. :up:

[GNR]

It's here,issue 64 is here!Someone please post whether they liked it or not and if it's worth the buildup!

I can't get my copy until Friday due to school!

[The Black Mask]

i will get my books today. i will read it... i guess.

[Heartagram]

Brian K. Vaughn is too bad a writer to be on something like Ultimate X-Men that used to be so amazingly good. I'm only still reading because i'm hoping soon another writer will get onboard but this is so bad it's painful. I'm going to quit Ult. X-Men soon. His plots are overly simple and he takes things like mr. sinister and makes them some of the poorest stories that seem like he's just trying to make a deadline not make a good story. it's like he gets lazy. in this recent Magnetic North issue, he probably ruined a good chance to use mystique (by having her be the one to screw up polaris's powers) when it was all mysterious if she was the cat or not. Polaris and Magneto sharing a cell and Magneto is able to beat her up because no one is supervising? what kind of crap is that? i thought he did a horrible job with Sinister and Deathstrike, now this crap.

[Crowley9]

My biggest gripe is that UXM hasn't done anything spectacularly new. Most of the events in this book have happened in the main universe. I find it funny that the writers have much more freedom in this series, but don't do anything new.
There have been some nice fresh ideas but it's strange how strictly some things are kept the same. Magneto and Sabretooth are carbon copies or the originals. I was rather impressed when Ultimate Psylocke got killed in the same story she was introduced in. But shortly thereafter she came back, and guess what? She was in the body of a Chinese woman! Ooh, the originality is just killing me. [/sarcasm]

[The Black Mask]

i will read UXM #64 and give my opinion later.

[GNR]

anybody read it yet?

[The Black Mask]

anybody read it yet?

yep.

[GNR]

so how was it?without giving anything away?

[The Black Mask]

it was...

there. i gave nothing away.

[Jasmine]

Read 64 earlier. Please let Dazzler be alive she's my favorite x-men character in this series.

[The Black Mask]

it's time to move on with a new story for UXM.

[GNR]

it's time to move on with a new story for UXM.


man you are so negative!

[squeekness]

I thought this latest issue was just fine. I've liked this book all along so I have no complaints.

[XwolverineX]

is henri always a spamming loser?

[The Black Mask]

i was kinda stunned on the last page of UXM #64

[squeekness]

i was kinda stunned on the last page of UXM #64Eww.. that was unpleasant... Actually, being the perv that I am, I was hoping that Northstar's comments in Colossus' direction after they kncoked him out mean someone in the writing department intends to hook the two of them up. It would nice to see Colosuss in a relationship.

[The Black Mask]

i wonder if there will be any UXM crossovers

[squeekness]

i wonder if there will be any UXM crossoversThe last one was Ultimate Nightmare. They may be waiting until Ultimate Secret, its sequel, is done first. I hear there may even be a third piece but I'm not sure who's going to be in it.

[The Black Mask]

isn't ultimate nightmare a part of ultimate galactus trilogy?

[squeekness]

isn't ultimate nightmare a part of ultimate galactus trilogy?Yes, so the actual Galacticus part will be the third one but I'm not sure who's going to be in the third piece. Maybe it will be Ultimates and UFF.

[The Black Mask]

i gotta get all the ultimate back issues...

[GNR]

UXM #64 was sensational!The culmination of the buildup was amazing!Nevermind the naysayers,UXM rocks!

[The Black Mask]

when does bryan singer's arc debut?

[JoeCat]

I check out the ultimate titles almost evey week, but as far as collecting i pick up the graphic novels... so forgive me for being a little behind...

was anybody else disapopinted with the ultimate Mojo / Longshot arc? It was entertaining but i thought it had so much more potential.

[GNR]

Singer's arc is still in the air,Raney and Kirkman come aboard next.

The Longshot arc wasn't bad,I enjoyed it.

Magnetic North is shaping up to be the culmination of the past couple arcs,and so far,this current arc is becoming one of the best.

It's too bad Vaughan's leaving.I read somewhere online that Kirkman is going to have 2 or 3 issues of the UXM having a night out(UXM 50 anyone?).

This is horrible news and I am scared sh/tless.Alot of you ingrates are gonna be crying for Vaughan back.

[The Black Mask]

longshot is one of my favorite characters both in ultimate universe and 616 universe.

[JoeCat]

longshot is one of my favorite characters both in ultimate universe and 616 universe.

Don't get me wrong... i loved his character too but i just feel like that mojo arc in general could have gone for so much more

[GNR]

Don't get me wrong... i loved his character too but i just feel like that mojo arc in general could have gone for so much more

you're right it probably could have,however,they probably had to make way for Magnetic North which looks to be the culmination of the last couple arcs.

[The Black Mask]

has domino made her appearnce in UXM... although she isn't an x-men.

[GNR]

In the New Mutants arc,she was seen on the screen.

[The Black Mask]

domino is so cool. she kinda rival's longshot.

[The Black Mask]

i wonder how many more mutants will join the x-men?

[roach]

i wonder how many more mutants will join the x-men?

well it looks like they are gonna lose some members....Nightcrawler is confirmed by CC to be the Uncanny Team leader....read into that what you will

[The Black Mask]

will cable ever make an appearnce in the ultimate universe???

[squeekness]

will cable ever make an appearnce in the ultimate universe???Nothing has been said about yet but that doesn't mean it won't happen.

[The Black Mask]

it owuld be cool to see cable in UXM

[squeekness]

it owuld be cool to see cable in UXMYeah. There was a small hint at Corsair, too. Cyclops said he used the name to name an imaginary place in his mind or some such. Sounds like good old repressed memories to me. :up:

[GNR]

We're 60+ issues into UXM,and there are still a sh/tload of characters yet to see the light.Looking forward to the future.

Been picking up alot of Ultimates stuff lately that I put it on my pull list.I'm really loving this right now.I don't want Millar and Hitch to leave.Joe Mad drawing the Ultimates is kind of a turn off for me.

It was too surreal and dreamy. I prefer more realistic art.

[The Black Mask]

i still need to read a lot of UXM early issues.

[GNR]

Do you read The Ultimates Squeek?I've really fallen in love with the book and intend on finishing this current arc.

[The Black Mask]

mark millar also wrote UXM in the beginning along with the ultimates series

[GNR]

But the fact that Joe Mad is going to draw this book after Hitch is a turn off.I was never a fan of Joe Mad's cartoony/anime style.

loeb is writing though.

[GNR]

Yea I know that.I just don't like Joe Mad drawing the Ultimates.

[squeekness]

Do you read The Ultimates Squeek?I've really fallen in love with the book and intend on finishing this current arc.I read all the Ultimate titles and love them all. I just wish the Ultimates wasn't bi-monthly. None of the other books are. I guess the art takes longer.

[squeekness]

i still need to read a lot of UXM early issues.Buy the hardcovers, they are very pretty.

[GNR]

I caught on too late!I could always buy the TPs I guess.

[The Black Mask]

i missed the beginning of UFF and UXM.

[The Black Mask]

i don't buy tbp or hardcovers.

[squeekness]

Yea I know that.I just don't like Joe Mad drawing the Ultimates.Joe Mad doesn't ring an immediate bell. I don't know everyone by name, only those that stand out to me.

[The Black Mask]

i miss david finch's artwork for UXM.

[squeekness]

I sometimes prefer TPB or hardcover becuase they don't have all the stupid ads. I have all the Ultimate hardcovers as well as the singles. That way if I ever cash in on my singles, I can still read the stories.

[squeekness]

i miss david finch's artwork for UXM.Me, too. I love Finch. He is a personal favorite. Of course he is, he draws like a photograph! :D The detail. *squeekness begins to drool with artistic envy. *

[The Black Mask]

i need to start drawing again

[squeekness]

i need to start drawing againThe more you draw the better you'll be. Sometimes when I know I'm going to do something complicated, I'll dig out some comics -- usually Silvestri, Finch or Loarrocca. Or try to find photographs.

[The Black Mask]

maybe i will post my fan art sometime.

[squeekness]

maybe i will post my fan art sometime.Kewl. But I will warn you, a lot of those guys who post in fanart are awesome. Don't let them discourage you. :up:

[The Black Mask]

i am going to the off topic thread.

[Caliber]

Who's Essex? They pointed him out but I forgot who he is. Is he Ult Sinister?

[squeekness]

Who's Essex? They pointed him out but I forgot who he is. Is he Ult Sinister?Yes. Sinister's real name is Nathanial Essex. :up:

[StormCrazy]

Which UXM Story arc you think was the best? I like to know how many people would think that that was the best arc so I could get one at our local comic shop, because I stopped reading UXM after the Tempest arc. I didn't like the art, that's the only reason though.

I think the New Mutants arc was the best, and Finch's art was the best! I hope he'd come back.:)

[EmmaFrost]

Well I admit to not having read all of them but so far the Magnetic North is really really good.

I think the New Mutants arc was the best, and Finch's art was the best! I hope he'd come back.:)I would start at the beginning. It would annoy me to jump into something in the middle of a comic that is so continuity driven. I liked the two Gambit arcs myself.

[The Black Mask]

the beginning of UXM was awesome. i also liked the new mutants arc.

[GNR]

Well I admit to not having read all of them but so far the Magnetic North is really really good.

:up: :up:

[The Black Mask]

i think there could've been more mutants to introduce in the new mutants arc. there also could've been to many to introduce.

[GNR]

i think there could've been more mutants to introduce in the new mutants arc. there also could've been to many to introduce.

:confused:

[The Black Mask]

to many mutants to introduce in a four part arc would've been hard to do.

[squeekness]

to many mutants to introduce in a four part arc would've been hard to do.They introduced us to just about the whole X-team in about four issues when this whole series started. I thought they went way too fast, but not everyone I talked to about it felt that way. If you have alot of people to bring out, you should do it slowly or people (like me) just get bored and confused.

what do i know about comics then

[squeekness]

what do i know about comics thenI was sort of agreeing with you, Henri. Yes, they could have introduced more because they have in the past, it just wouldn't have been wise, which is maybe why they didn't.

[The Black Mask]

i know. all's i was tryin to say was they could've introduce more characters or not so many characters.

[GNR]

Don't you guys feel that MN is one of the most suspensful arcs in this title so far?I can't remember the last time I read a UXM arc which had this level of suspense and was totally far from being predictable.

[The Black Mask]

i haven't read all the story arcs yet. so i can't really pick one.

[baby_webhead]

I would have to say that the weapon x one was pretty suspensful too.

[The Black Mask]

I would have to say that the weapon x one was pretty suspensful too.

it was awesome.

[GNR]

Hope this Magician character is good.

[The Black Mask]

we haven't seen much of sabretooth in UXM...???

[Jasmine]

He was last seen in Return of the King, Millar's last arc. As for Magnetic North it has been my favorite arc of Vaughn's hands down.

[The Black Mask]

i don't think i read the return of the king arc

[Jasmine]

You should check it out when you have the chance. Great arc better than Ultimate War imo.

[The Black Mask]

cool.

[Doomed_hero]

My fav would be Return Of The King. Colossus overcoming magneto to kick his butt, Cyclops FINALLY getting a badass moment over Wolverine, and Kitty saving the day, whats not to like.

I have to admit Magnetic North is setting up to be right up there. It seems anytime Magneto shows up it ranks as the best arc.

[The Black Mask]

i still have not read everything of UXM

[Doomed_hero]

are you intrested, or just stating you haven't?

[The Black Mask]

i starting reading UXM at issue 34.

[GNR]

I've loved Vaughan's run.It's been like one big setup for one big ass big bang which I can't wait for.

[The Black Mask]

i wonder what kinds of things we can expect from the new creative team.

[squeekness]

I hope they bring some kind of resoultion to that mess they started with Rogue absorbing Gambit like that. I was not pleased at what they did but since it's not exactly finished, I will be patient.

[The Black Mask]

i am sure there will be some questions answered about rogue

[Venom160]

I just checked the solicitations for december and theres no UXM on it, theres that UXM/UFF comic but no regular UXM. Was there an anouce that I missed saying that we're not getting and issue that mounth or what?

[XwolverineX]

I want peterson back, immomen doesn't appeal to me at all.

[GNR]

We're getting Raney.

[Jasmine]

Loved his work on the annual and he did one of the earlier arcs I believe. :up:

[squeekness]

Have no fear. :up:

[The Black Mask]

i wonder if any new mutants will join the x-men?

[GNR]

Kirkman said he's only planning on introducing one new X-Man and a brand new character,The Magician,who has never been introduced in the 616 universe.

[The Black Mask]

the next story arc looks cool.

[hulkamania85]

Just read the last issue.

Magneto calling Polaris an overweight harlot? Ouch. Wonder if Polaris is going to make him pay for that crack at her weight later?

I sure hope Dazzler isn't dead. She's been one of my favorite Ultimate X-Men, and it seems like another shock value death ala Beast

[hulkamania85]

Sorry.

[hulkamania85]

I mean, I can see Magneto getting on Blob about being overweight, but he would have been better off just calling Polaris a just plain harlot. He's lucky his magnetic powers are probably stronger and better trained.

[XwolverineX]

does anyone have any raney art to show me what he's like?

[X-Punisher]

i was kinda stunned on the last page of UXM #64


diddo. That is bound to have a affect on the X-Men.

[squeekness]

does anyone have any raney art to show me what he's like?From Ultimate X-men annual #1

And again... Ultimate Juggernaut.

[XwolverineX]

thx

[The Black Mask]

raney's art is cool.

[XwolverineX]

yes,it blows immomen away!

[The Black Mask]

immomen's art is... well... it's not good.

[squeekness]

yes,it blows immomen away!I like them both. I have no complaints. I like Immomen's Wolverine. :up:

[The Black Mask]

immomen's art was bad.

[squeekness]

:up: :up: :up:

[The Black Mask]

^wolverine looks horrible there.^

[squeekness]

To each their own. I likes him just fine. :D

[The Black Mask]

that's fine. you are entitled to your opinion.

[GNR]

Immonen's art was different and had a fresh look.Cmon,we can't have everyone trying to be Jim Lee impersonators or Joe Mad wannabees.

[The Black Mask]

i liked raney's art in UXM Annual.

[LittleMissVixen]

Immonen's art was different and had a fresh look.Cmon,we can't have everyone trying to be Jim Lee impersonators or Joe Mad wannabees.

Ditto...I was a bit indifferent towards his work initially, but now I really enjoy Immonen's art on Ult.X-Men

[The Black Mask]

tom raney will be the next artist for UXM

[ctvampslayer]

I really enjoy Immonen's art. It's something different, not so standard and samey.

[The Black Mask]

the next story arc sounds cool

[GNR]

Man,you want to talk about bothersome art?The Ultimates Annual is a really good story,but the art by Steve Dillon is somewhat distracting.He's a fine artist,it's just the fact that it's the Ultimates and his art mixed with the Ultimates just does not click for some reason.

[GNR]

the next story arc sounds cool

I don't know Henri.

Datenight?

The Magician?

This better turn out good because right now it doesn't sound that exciting,lol.

You know what the UXM need?A formidable foe on the same level as Magneto.That's what they need to work on.

[XwolverineX]

I find the next arc seems boring and uninteresting, i want apocalypse for god sake!

[Caliber]

What did Ult Sinister do? What are his powers and what the next arc about?

[Jasmine]

Used to work for a branch of Oscorp then he started killing innocent mutants for Apocalypse who looks to be very real, earlier it was thought that he was just imagining him. He experimented with hypnotic drugs, and stealth on himself. He's undetected by cameras and he gives off a hypnotic gaze that renders his victims immobile, or make them do his bidding.

[Kevin]

And again... Ultimate Juggernaut.


http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b317/squeekness/ultimatexmeninteriorart001.jpgoh...HELL...NO! he looks...oh...helll...:mad: :down

[The Black Mask]

hasn't mr. sinister made one appearence so far in UXM

[GNR]

He was in the entire Tempest arc Henri.

[The Black Mask]

i missed that arc.

[Jasmine]

As of now he's in Shield custody Henri, but with Magneto free and the power down maybe he'll escape next issue.

Wow thats a great power. What does Ult Apocalypse look like or did they show him at all?

[The Black Mask]

has ultimate apocalypse appeared in UXM yet?

[Venom160]

has ultimate apocalypse appeared in UXM yet?Yea he showed up in the tempest story arc, but by the look of it he's a figment of Sinister's imagination.

[The Black Mask]

yea. i missed the tempest story arc i think... i dunno.

[squeekness]

Yea he showed up in the tempest story arc, but by the look of it he's a figment of Sinister's imagination.I believe that's as far as we got, as far as a glimpse of Apocolypse was. It was kind of a let down because they built up the suspense a lot. We were going to see him and then he was a dressed up manakin or something like that.

[The Black Mask]

it would be cool to actually see apocalypse appear in UXM sometime in the near future. hopefully it's nothing like the marvel 616 universe and completely new and re-invented.

[hulkamania85]

Rest assured Ultimate Apocalypse will be edgy.

[Jasmine]

Yep last page of the Tempest, told Sinister to choke himself after failing to kill the kids. He looks a lot like his 616 counterpart to be honest no huge change in appearance and he still has the commanding presence. Whats wrong with the 616 version of him?? He seems pretty popular.

[GNR]

I always found Apoc lame for some reason.He's just that villain who wants to rule the world *yawn*

[The Black Mask]

apocalypse is powerful though. i consider him a baddie. although he hasn't really appeared in the 616 marvel universe for a while.

From what I;ve seen in the ultimate universe Apocalypse could want more than just the world. He could want to kill all mutants or have a list of people he wants to suffer.

[Jasmine]

I guess he could kill mutants considered "weak" or that do not share his view. Maybe give him a different power or something.

[Caliber]

I guess he could kill mutants considered "weak" or that do not share his view. Maybe give him a different power or something.

Or if he targets certain mutants who look like reincarnations of those who stopped him.

[baby_webhead]

i wonder if they'll use ult Apocalypse any time soon. that'd be cool because we need to see different kinds of villains, not just magneto every other time. although they might save Apocalypse for like issue 100 or somthing.

[The Black Mask]

i would like to see a new villain in UXM. totally new, never been created before villain.

[Jasmine]

Interesting.

[GNR]

That's what's happening in the next arc with The Magician.

[XwolverineX]

Thats dumb,im not interested in this arc what so ever.

[X-Punisher]

That's what's happening in the next arc with The Magician.



I think that arc is going to be good. I can't wait. I'm pretty sure that Colusious is going to get action (not that im gay but atleast they will give him a romance i think its unfair that he hasnt yet.)
