Mine's The Tempest.

which one was that?

 

[Cosmic Mind]

I wonder how it will be the Ultimate dark Phoenix saga, for the looks of it, it might use the X3 plot...

 

[triplefive]

which one was that?

Sinister

 

[squeekness]

I liked that one, too. I liked the art on it.

 

[mad_harleyq]

i know most of you have the issue here emma is shown, but the question is if anyone is willing to help me, or at least tell me what issue/arc that shes featured in, that would help, if anyone would be so kind

 

[triplefive]

Off the top of my head, Emma's in the New Mutants arc and again in Magnetic North.

 

[mad_harleyq]

thank you very much, your help is much appreciated

“aries_insaneus” - Any chance of giving us an up date when Bryan Singer’s Ultimate X-Men is going to be coming out and do you think you could give us some plot details or at least how many issues he is going to be writing?

JQ: Aires-insaneus, no, still nothing new to report other than we have the first script. I suspect that now that Superman Returns is out we might be able to get a bit more in gear with the project.

I told you so!!!! Damn it, I hate time travels

Hi, I'm kind of new here and posted once or twice before. I thought you guys would like to see what Kirkman, had posted on another board I belong to. He talks a little bit about Ultimate Cable.

Kirkman:
Hey, everybody. I just wanted to pop in here and put an end to a few assumptions.

First off, everything I do on X-Men will be an effort to make things more different from the 616, even it it doesn't immediately SEEM that way. I agree with you all that they should be as different as possible.

Also. Cable will not be Scott's son, or related to him in any way. In fact, I'll tell you right now, that Cable is not ANYONE'S brother, son, mother, father, uncle or any other relation. He's going to be different.

As far as his LOOK goes, yeah, it's a little similar to the 616, face aside... but Cable is HARD to change unless you make him a teenager and I DIDN'T want to do that (for one, that was DONE in the 616--X-Man). He's worn 10,000 different costumes, sometimes in the SAME issue, and sometimes on the same PAGE. So unless you make him completely different. He's going to be kinda similar. You don't complain about Cyclops having a VISOR do you? Or Rogue's white streak of hair or Wolverine's CLAWS.

Same thing.

Besides, I think the ORIGINAL Cable, Rob's Cable from New Mutants and X-Force looked DAMN cool... and so I wanted Ultimate Cable to reflect that.

Character-wise... he's totally different, as you'll see in the issue.

So, give it a shot, it's a cool issue and a cool arc and it leads to HUGE shake-ups in the book (which I think the book needs).

And future stuff... yeah, Cable is from the future... sorry about that. I think it's cool. I don't think it'll ruin the book. I don't see why it's okay for Ultimate FF or Ultimates but shouldn't be in this book. Maybe Spider-Man... but I think X-Men has a LONG history with time-travel. And y'know, I'm trying to make it not suck.

Besides, it's not like time travel is going to be a HUGE part of the book. It's just going to be mentioned here and there in relation to Cable. The X-Men do not go to the future or anything.

Anyway, I'll be around, and if you have more questions, it'd probably be easier to find me over at my message board, which I think some of you have already done.

Keep reading!

-Robert

Thanks for posting.

SOMEONE is sensitive, lol. I'm waiting to see what he does with Magician first!

 

[Colossus2]

i dont really have that much of a problem with time travel, i have a problem with all this alternate dimension crap that UFF is doing, doesent it sort of defeat the purpose of the ultimate line of comics?

Then your probably not going to like Ultimate Power.

 

[squeekness]

Between the cover art and the interview I am now quite jazzed about this upcoming arc. Sounds great!

 

[Bastila]

Cable sounds intresting, and Magicen i look forward to more of him, doesn't the new issue come out this week?

 

[triplefive]

Yup it does! Man I'm going to miss living in a city with 5 comic book shops for a population of 300,000
I want to see what's going on with Magician for sure... he seems to have seeds of evil and whatnot.

 

[Bastila]

Yeah i like him so far, i only know one comic book store where i can get them if not its ebay lol. But i will have to make a trip to get that .

 

[GreatWhiteWhale]

Just Quietly, when did the Ultimates engage in Time Travel? I know the ultimate FF did, but, the Ultimates? that doesnt seem very Ultimatey.
