Ultimates v3 #1 cover (SPOILERS)


Pic taken from IGN.

Wow. I love the art! I love the new additions of Valkyrie and Black Panther! Love the new costumes for Hawkeye and Scarlet Witch. But I really love Hawkeye!

I hate the New Avengers additions of Wolverine and Spider-Man.

Ultimates proved that the classic Avengers were cool and didn't need Wolverine/Spidey/Bendis to sell. Infact the Ultimates probably would outsell New Avengers if they came out on time.

I also like the possible new Giant-Man. I always wanted Pym's costumes to be inherited by young characters.

Well, I definitely don't see myself buying this.

One of the biggest draws before was the Hitch art. Without that, and with the additions of Spidey and Wolvie, I just can't see myself buying it. Wolverine is a big part of why I dropped New Avengers.

Oh well... less money I have to spend

Wait... hasn't Wolverine gone back to his original Ultimate costume in UltXM?

I think this may end up being one of those "wow, I can't believe Marvel actually found a way to screw that up!".

I enjoy the art but don't love it yet, though all I really know Joe Mad from is Battle Chasers. Can't say I'm looking forwad to Loeb's writing, but he's surprised me before.

I probably will end up getting this, but easily might not, depending on how many comics I add/drop in the coming months. I am dropping/not adding quite a bit from both Marvel and DC these days though, so maybe I'll at least check it out.

Joe Mad!... And you Ultimates fans thought Hitch couldn't keep a deadline! :rolleyes:

I'm just glad he's not drawing anything I read... After the way he left us hanging with BATTLECHASERS, he's not getting my $$!

I liked Mad at first when i saw him on "X-Men", but he quickly got too out of control for my tastes. The preview art above is ok, and I'm not thrilled with Spidey and Wolverine either, but I think I'll wait to see what the story's about.

Wasn't there a Valkyrie who was a member of the Defenders? Powerless? I hope they can explain her presence.

Just be glad they didn't add Spider-Woman or She-Hulk to this mix!

Or Echo.

Eh. I was totally into V1 but not as into V2. I *might* check out V3 # 1.... or might not.

Yes, well there appears to be a "serious" Hellcat on an upcoming USM cover too. So they're taking to ignoring that group.

That spanish sites gets more stuff than all the sites i visit here in the USA. They have all the Ultimate Spider-Woman pic (ugh) and the entire page (instead of a panel) of the new mysterious Spidey artist.

Scanned from Wizard

1) Nicked from Newsarama
2) "The"? The panels are by Bachalo, the page is by Larroca, and given that it's 36 issues a year, I'm expecting no less than four artists, and probably six.

Oh, i don't think i am going to like this at all.

Ditto.

Down to UFF and USM, and the former ain't exactly knocking it out of the ballpark for me these days...

It's Loeb. It's the people who'll LIKE it I'm worried about...

So, U3 is here, complete with Mad art that reminds me of the time I ditched the entire X-Verse and Spider-Man and Wolverine on the cover, reminding me of the time I ditched the Avengers-verse (except for Slott's current A:tI).

That can't bode well.

Thor and Wasp especially seem to suffer under the new artist. I *LOVED* Hitch's rendition of them. The confirmation of an oddball Pietro/Wanda relationship kinda grosses me out.

Is this the teenage Valkyrie from the "Ultimate Defenders" who appeared in U2, now powered up? That interests me.

I'm on "Wait and See" mode here with U3. If it gets sucky I won't hesitate to drop it.

You seem to be in the minority when saying the story's not "sucky" already.

Of about one.

It's the worst-reviewed comic I've seen since Civil War: The Return, and even that was slightly apathetic in its' unanimity (That said, Wolverine #50-55 by the same author would probably match it if I'd seen more reviews...)

would have been better if valkyrie had chopped off her head.

the art is messy and i think we need a plot recep of where we are after U2. seems like alot has changed...and ive been reading soem of te other ultimate titles!

but i like the wasp being more aggressive except for her lame *ss line about how she used to have an eating disorder. beeeeeeeeeeen dooooooooone.
oh, every foxy woman needs a backstory of an eating disorder???

bmw - check, bling - check, prior eating disorder - check.

the writer should watch less trashy teen drama tv.

Yeah it's a wierd combination for me. I like it the same way I like an action film. It's pretty, it's exciting but it's certainly missing some brains. DB, nailed with the trashy teen drama tv dialogue on some word balloons. Wasp and Valkyrie sound like stupid sluts.

I guess I don't mind the way they look. It still has me interested though. It's a far cry from Millar/Hitch.

Indeed a far cry from Millar/Hitch. Feels like reading a typical Marvel comic from 1995 now (NOT a compliment).

The only thing keeping me hanging on is the Valkyrie. What's her deal? I'll hang with it a minute more, for now.

Dropped it after #1. Felt like everything I hated about comics in the mid-90's.

If the Ultimate U has it's version of the Superhuman Registration Act,would be known by a different name?

The Ultimate Superhuman Registration Act?
