I know where you're coming from and unarguably, Ultimatum is really, really bad. I think Ultimatum though is the symptom, not the cause. Ultimates 3 sets up all of what's to come. It's all about how awful, weak and ineffectual these heroes are. It attacks and harms the characters at such an intense level that wiping…

Also true.

I mean, Bizarro-Verse clearly exists because Superman goes there in Action Comics #40. Luther's cloned Bizarr-O died at the end of Forever Evil, I think.

Nathan Edmondson's first 10 issues of Grifter when the New 52 started are legitimately pretty great. If you like the character or like Edmondson's work on Black Widow, it might be worth looking them up.

In conclusion, basically no one knows what relationship these two did or didn't have.

It's never an inappropriate time to post that page.

SPOILERS FOR AVENGERS/NEW AVENGERS
Tony's motivation from the beginning was always to find a way to hold back the incursions but he, more than Reed or any of the Illuminati, knew the quest was impossible and instead prepares for the battle he always morally knew he needed to fight against the Cabal and Illuminati's…

There are a lot of comic book writers I would like to write like and Bendis floats somewhere near the bottom of that list. I like most of the guy's work but I don't know if it's a style I'd ever want to emulate.

Midnighter dates, has sex, fights aliens, and has to solve a mystery about who attacked the Gardener. He also says a lot of badass things in a way that didn't make my eyes roll into the back of my head.

I read the first issue of every New 52 book because I hate myself and remember how weird the original Superboy was. The only thing I've seen him in since then was Teen Titans Annual #1 which I thought was great but I've sort of loved the new volume of Teen Titans.

DC had a rough time with all of the Wildstorm characters. I mean, they're all from a time and ethos that pushed making stories that sell, not necessarily stories that connect to a larger universe. Putting them in a universe where everything has to connect and make sense is always going to cause problems.

I really, really want to know everything about this.

The Namor/Black Panther stuff in New Avengers is some of the best character work Hickman has ever done. Those characters' true loathing of each other is so great.

Whatever blame you're placing on me, I probably deserve.

That is…something. I think the biggest problem with Stormwatch in the New 52 is a group of extremely powerful, violent heroes who are watching over the world and crossing moral lines to keep it safe already exist and it's inexplicably the Justice League.

This reads suspiciously like what most Marvel movie-fans say about DC in general.

It's subtext is that the character's world view doesn't apply as much when it comes to personal relationships, namely with the new man in his life. There's also the introduction of a "Someone stole information about your identity" plot at issue's end.

My statement still stands.

Ultimates 3 is the worst thing Loeb has ever written and that guy works on Agents of SHIELD every week.

It's primarily "Midnighter's brain sees infinite possibilities for what he can do and what the result would be. As such, he often takes brutal action under the philosophy that the ends justify the means."
