Maybe. I don't know. Let me form a telepathic connection with Mark Millar and I'll get back to you.

Scarlet Witch, duh...

 

[Killgore]

As i have been saying for months, it's obviously the Black Widow. Come on, she's a Russian, she's got not real connection to the team, (In 616 universe was she ever an Avenger?) AND she is marring Tony. She's a friggin' BLACK WIDDOW!!! Run Tony, RUN!!! It's what they do. They wine and dine ya, get you to build them a War Machine and before ya know it she's munching on your head.

 

[November Rain]

can some of you be a little less vague with what happened in this latest comic?

 

[DBM]

(In 616 universe was she ever an Avenger?)

Yes. She even lead the Avengers for a while.

I've just read issue 9, and let me be the first to say:

OMFG!!!

Spoiler

It's Black Widow! She kills Jarvis! Fury gets his arm ripped off! The Triskelion is completely destroyed! The bad guys take control of all of America! The Fantastic Four and the X-Men are wiped out as well! Loki IS a Norse God! Millar is God!

 

[TheSumOfGod]

I'm surprised no one else has responded yet. This is perhaps the best single issue of the Ultimates so far. And it also confirms what I (and about 5 BILLION other people) have been saying for years: America is evil.

Why isn't anyone reading this? Post your reactions to the mindblowing events of issue 9 already!

 

[TheSumOfGod]

Oops. A little too excited.

And it seems that 20 people were right on the poll.

the X-Men and FF are not wiped out...just detained in their respective headquarters

Spoiler

The Ultimate Hawkeye is not dead. A scientists who I presume is Ultimate Arnim Zola, extracts the security codes from him after his family is killed.

Meanwhile Tony's wedding is postponned by Natasha. Natasha convinces Tony to stay at home a "play". While they are in midst foreplay, the shields on the Triskelion go down. Quicksilver hears explosions outside and goes to investigate. he finds giant Dynamo robots attacking downtown. Meanwhile the floating aircraft carriers all decend on the Triskelion and destroy half of it. The shields manage to go online and protect the second half. Outside Wanda, Betty Ross, Fury and a few officers convien. Meanwhile Quicksilver is running downtown relaying information on whats going on. Both the FF and X-Men have been put under house arrest by the invasion force.

Meanwhile Tony hears from his bedroom the noise outside and tries to leave but Widow hold's a gun to his head and tells him he is not going anywhere. Jarvis enters with breakfast and is shot in the head by Natasha.

Then out of the sky appears Ultimate Perun brings forth a lightning storm and fries Quicksilver (apparently?).

Back at the Triskelion an invasion force of super suited soldiers attack from airships. The first wave attacks Fury and his few compatriots. Fury looses an arm right off the bat. Betty whisks him to safety for the moment while Wanda attempts to alter the probabilities of the situation.

At that point the backup arrives. However they are overwhelmingly outnumbered despite the presence of super suits and giant men (and Stark bots), all to most of which are killed. Wanda seemly sacrifices herself at lets out one giant probability altering wave...however it is of little effect

After this happens Crimson Dynamo, Abomination, Loki (who is a GOD allong with Thorlief), Red Guardian, Perun, Sputnik and and unknown character (maybe Sabra) and another unknown who resembles Rictor take what is left of the Triskelion and knock over the statue of liberty. They declare the country theirs (including DC and LA).

Highest. body. count. ever.

I should have said "brought down" instead.

 

[TheSumOfGod]

Don't forget to mention that

Spoiler

Los Angeles, Chicago, Washington D.C., as well as all major military and nuclear installations

are taken over by the bad guys as well. And that

Spoiler

all of the Reserves and Giant Men are killed, the enemy super-soldiers literally flying and punching THROUGH them!

Whoa, what an issue. I'm happy.

 

[ShadowBoxing]

Who IS Red Guardian

Spoiler

Its not Cap because he has blue eyes, not brown. Its not Hank (I do not think at least) because Hank is too small and would no be called Colonel. However Fury was a Colonel and the other Nick Fury was amputated at the arm. Is it possible it's a clone of Cap, or maybe a compatriot of his, or even another former Shield director....

 

[Dr Doom]

GUYS, THIS ISSUE IS OBVIOUSLY ALL A DREAM. ULTIMATE MASTERMIND IS PLAYING ON THE ULTIMATES. HAWKEYE IS REALLY THE TRAITOR ALONG WITH ULTIMATE HYDRA. AND HIS WIFE AND KIDS WEREN'T KILLED, THOSE WERE CLONES.

 

[GNR]

^no.

OMG,this issue was nonstop crazyness.Loved it.Glad to see that the whole Thor being crazy issue is gone.Simply wow.

 

[demento]

What an incredible, action-packed issue AND we're only 1/2 way through the arc. Millar was right - this is the issue that kicks everyone's ass. It was definitely worth the extra wait. I hope #10 hits as solicted, currently 1/18/06.

 

[BrianWilly]

I totally called it.
