Seriously...what the hell is up with Spider-man dating Kitty?

Matt said:Really? I just read Magnetic North and I absolutely despised it.
El Bastardo said:*shrugs* I liked it. Unless something is slipping my memory, I liked everything Vaughan did in his run. That said, I dropped the book following Date Night's last issue. I'm pretty sure I gave it one full arc, else I gave it two issues.
I loved Millar, and I loved Vaughan. Hate Kirkman.

Sub-Zero said:was the end of magnetic north really that great? i can't find #65 anywhere. not even in tpb.
PWN3R RANGER said:Magnetic North was collect from #61-#65, and yes they have a trade, I have it, plus the issues. And the end left things open for any new writer. "Time for something new."
Sub-Zero said:yeah i have issues 1-64 and the annual. but the only one i couldn't find was 65. and i know it came out in tpb but they are sold out of it at every bookstore and comics shop in my town. sounds like a cool last line though.
Sub-Zero said:lol. sugarman was so weird. have you ever played x-men legends II? sugarman's a boss and has the worst voice ever.
Thanx...I really like the idea of the Ultimate line. I just ordered some more TPBs off Amazon...but you guys have me worried about where the book will end up. I just got done reading the hardcover of volume 2, with the Hellfire Club and Phoenix.FieryBalrog said:nope, and no Morlocks so far either, although there have been stories involving less "flashy" mutants who derided the X-men for being celebrities, although those mutants ended up at Emma Frost's school.

Though it does seem like Marvel has kinda put the brakes on the Ultimate Universe.
I think it is due to the fact that the 616 Univers is in rough shape and they are trying to sort that out.
Luckily though, big events are starting to happen again in the Ultimate Universe. The Clone Saga in USM will be the biggest/coolest/most important arc in USM since...Ultimate Carnage atleast.
As for Ultimate X-Men, I'm not sure since I don't read the comics of this. Just the TPB. However, this book seems to be coasting along not doing anything BIG and that seems to be the problem.
Xplicit Content said:Question about Ultimate Psylocke - I was reading her bio online and unintentionally spoiled her return for myself since I'm only 24 issues into the run. I read her Ultimate debut, when she was introduced and "killed." In her bio, it says she survived because she went into the mind of a comatose Asian woman...wasn't Ultimate Psylocke introduced as an Asian woman to begin with? Bachalo drew her like she was...I thought about how Betsy and Kwannon could both be Asian to begin with, but it didn't make sense that the bio highlighted that she took over an Asian body if she was Asian already. It probably would've been better, in contrast to "real" continuity, that Psylocke started out as Asian Kwannon and then took over the English comatose Betsy.
El Bastardo said:Just chalk it up to the fact that it was Bachalo drawing. =P
