John says:

Optikal says:

John says:
LOL!
Optikal says:
no... no... i must plow on... it'll get better.... it HAS to get better
John says:
apparently, each issue is exponentially worse than the last
I believe by issue 4, IGN was ranked it somewhere around 1.0/10
Optikal says:
i'm downloading 3 and 4
is 5 on general release yet?
John says:
yes, that's the only one I actually skim-read for myself in the shop
Optikal says:
....have you not read any others?
John says:
why would I put myself through that?
Optikal says:
....it's like.... well it's like.... it's like loeb was on acid or some ****
hank pym bit off blobs head
then madrox dupes became suicide bombers
John says:
lol
Optikal says:
cap went to the underworld with thor to save valkyere (who was just a powerless teenage girl who ****ed hank pym in ultimates 2)
John says:
Yeah, I forgot Pym was even more of a dick in Ultimate land
in normal Marvel its, like, he hits Wasp in his darkest hour, and spends years tormenting himself over it. In Ultimate its like "C'mere ***** while I smack you around with my right hand, while fisting this underage girl with my left hand!"
Optikal says:
yeah lol
the madroxes swarmed him and blew him up
John says:
lol
Optikal says:
dormammu escaped and made dr stranges head explode
sabretooth bit off angels wing whilst curb stomping him
thors GF chopped off magnetos arm

John says:
Loeb likes exploding heads
Optikal says:
it makes me sad face
John says:
then your head explodes
Optikal says:
worse, Doom, Richards and some others need to get to Fury whose in another dimension
in book 3 they talk about it
then in book 4 they're magically there
on his front door like 'hey nick'
John says:
its like he set out to write the worst book possible
Optikal says:
tthe beginning of the book is a list of other characters dead that wasn't
...
oh god
John says:
reading Ultimatum is the comic equivalent of watching Two Girls, One Cup
Optikal says:
just like "Yeah, the whole of the academy of tommorrow. everyone in the savage lands. him, him and her ...oh, and remember that c-list hero in that one panel in ultimates 1? yup, dead too.
There should be youtube reaction videos of people reading ultimatum
John says:
lol
Optikal says:
i feel.... i feel sick
John says:
hahaha
Optikal says:
it's not funny
John says:
its sad
Optikal says:
yup
my little sister randomly began crying across the room. i asked her what was wrong. she said she was scared seeing me torture myself like that
John says:
LOL
Ultimatum makes people cry
Optikal says:
it's a good job my mums puppy is at the boarding kennel
otherwise i'd kick it
there should be a support thread on the hype
as well as one documenting the reactions and mental breakdowns of readers
John says:
lol
