Indeed, im just happy [blackout]Angel was brought back[/blackout] at the end. Hopefully it'll really start to pick up with the new writer taking over.

Marvel Comics has provided CBR News with an exclusive first look at artist Gabriele Dell'otto's cover of "Ultimate X-Men" #97. On sale in August, the issue is written by "Heroes" producer Aron E. Coleite and illustrated by Mark Brooks, and promises to be so significant that series editor Bill Rosemann sent along a special teaser....


“What is the drug known as Banshee? How is it tied to Wolverine? And who in the world is Ultimate Alpha Flight? Writer Aron E. Coleite and penciler Mark Brooks reveal all in Ultimate X-Men #97! Just keep your eyes peeled -- sorta like Logan’s skin here -- for the cover by Gabriele Dell’otto!” -Ultimate Bill Rosemann

[El Bastardo]

[Havok83]

Banshee is going to be a drug?

Amazing game. I admit I wasnt looking forward to it and pumped like others bc I grew stale of the GTA series after 5 games on the PS2, all pretty similiar and not changing much but GTAIV has far exceeded my expectations. Its my favorite game at the moment and all I play. I managed to take 2 days off from work this week (for other reasons) and I played GTAIV all day long...lol

same here its all iv been playing. I was excited for this but it completely blew me away when I started playing it. The level of detail is absolutly beautiful.

OK I'm liking the new writer allready he takes the name Banshee and change the concept. My god he's doing what the Ult. Universe has forgot of late. OK the drug is from Wolverine but I can handle that. Hopefully it will be a good start also hoping Jean-Marie if she appears in Alpha Flight is not related to Northstar. I like the fact that Mystique, Rogue and Nightcrawler are in no way realted like in 616. Keep it different subtle thing ie Jessica Jones a Spiderman clone that sort of thing.

Last issue was just BND for Ultimate X-Men.

Who said the drug was from Wolverine? The thing only said he had a connection to it, not that it was taken from him.

The last issue was okay. I'm thinking we have another "Phoenix Saga" in a way, or something similar. But I love how she whooped Apocalypse's ass! And the art is so much better.

Haha, def did wipe the slate clean

 

[Valechan]

What a big load of crap this book has turned into. Someone bring back Vaughan!!!

 

[Brand]

No, no. You see, BND signals the end of the relationship between the beautiful redhead and the brown-haired, brown-eyed orphan with self-confidence problems.

Kirkman's little stunt just physically separated (temporarily) the beautiful redhead and the brown-haired, brown-eyed orphan with self-confidence problems.

The two are TOTALLY different.

 

[Valechan]

yes it's not like an all-powerful quasi cosmic entity just erased a bunch of continuity...

 

[Colossal Spoons]

I don't mind Jean erasing some/most of Kirkman's run. She did us a favor

 

[DarthCyclopsRLZ]

Just read the thing. Awful. Not even entertaining for one second.

BUUUUUT, if ones takes the time to step back and truly reflect on the issue's subtext/intent... A stroke of freakin GENIUS.

Combining a watered down DPS with BND and thus erasing most of Kirkman's run? Jean leaving and Cyke not seeming like he cares in the slightest?

That's AWESOME.

Darth, I have no idea that you dislike Ult Jean like you do 616 Jean.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

I just wish Syndicate would go a away. Not a fan of the character

 

[UraniaChang]

Just read the issue, so Kirkman uses Jean to wipe off most of his work, is that supposed to be a parting gift?

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Sure was

 

[DarthCyclopsRLZ]

Darth, I have no idea that you dislike Ult Jean like you do 616 Jean.

Character's fundamentally the same, really. And the Phoenix storyline sucked big time in the Ultimate verse.

That being said, I don't really care much for Ult Cyke either. Eveyrthing that has been fixed in 616, well... In a sense, he truly is an AU version of his current counterpart.
