Well to give you a …
Well to give you a rough guide:
Tony is now mainstream marvel Tony and had a change of heart after the end of ultimates 2
hawkeye has turned into a 90’s xxxtreme hero
Captain america is now so dumb it hurts
Thor is….well…he’s essentially Regular thor but fat and sleeping with a groupie
and for some reason Wasp is white-although that could be the art!

Ultimates 1 & 2 are …
Ultimates 1 & 2 are just great superhero comics, the way superhero comics should be,,,
With great story pacing, great character development, great art & mind blowing cinematic action scenes…
Without any of the usual cliches that usually plague the genre…
I’ve not read three, but i’ve not heard anything good about it either, even from big fans of the original two titles…
Not a good sign…

Hey I am quite new …
Hey I am quite new to the Ultimates… only finished reading 1 and 2 recently - I absolutely loved both of them! But comparing to Ultimates 1 and Ultimates 2… is Ultimates 3 really that bad like everyone is saying now? I have not seen it yet and I don’t know anything about it atm
October 16th, 2008 at 8:06 pm
The art is actually …
The art is actually pretty poor in ultimates 3…I mean wasp looks white and the whole thing is 90’s rraaaargh xtreme!

Agreed. Ult. 3 …
Agreed. Ult. 3 Sucks. So far Loeb’s “Hulk” title is pretty crappy as well. He just seems to be regurgitating old comics without bringing anything new. It’s just really stale.

I’m 100% behind you …
I’m 100% behind you. I refused to buy a single issue of “3″ after reading the first one.
October 16th, 2008 at 8:06 pm
That is true. I …
That is true. I like his art style in general, but the redesigns are terrible and it really doesn’t have the”real-world” feeling Ulitmates should have.
October 16th, 2008 at 8:06 pm
I’m gonna get …
I’m gonna get crucified by this but -me being a comic book artist myself- i can say that Joe Mad art is not that good in this title.
Yo can see that it has a way too fantasy-toned feel for a title that is supposed to be operating in a real world situation. The composition is WRONG in so many pages (in the #1 issue you can’t tell what’s going on in the Hawkeye Vs. Venom fight) and all female characters look the same are just the ones I can recall at the moment.

This is a message …
This is a message to everyone who respects the REAL ULTIMATES, so pay attention please: DO NOT BUY ULTIMATES 3!! Take a stand and send the message. I was skeptic but after reading the first two issues -and being a converted fan of the Millar/Hitch work- I can assure you that this is THE worst thing I’ve seen in a long time. And I’ve seen a lot!
DO NOT BUY ULTIMATES 3. Bring back Millar and Hitch (or give the art chores to the amazing steve McNiven). Send the message!!!

I got the first two …
I got the first two issues of Ultimates 3 today. The art is good. I recognize Mad’s talent but it’s just not my thing. The writing just depresses me. It’s pretty disappointing. Perhaps I will not be investing in the rest of the book. *shrug*
October 16th, 2008 at 8:06 pm
the best …
the best superheroes are white. i hate how comics have to include other races to keep people from bitching. an asian wasp? a black nick fury..fuck all that shit. let other races create their own shit.
October 16th, 2008 at 8:06 pm
ultimates 1 and 2 …
ultimates 1 and 2 had an edge to it but ultimates 3 is alright. my question is what happens to the relationship between the wasp(janet pym) and captain america?
October 16th, 2008 at 8:06 pm
Good show, but come …
Good show, but come on Ult.3 sucked
October 16th, 2008 at 8:06 pm
I think you guys …
I think you guys give WAY! to much credit. You seemed like you were about to say what was really on your minds and then just sugar coated it. The writing is awful! Thor dialouge uck! like they didnt tell Them that this was “THE ULTIMATES”. I know they didnt want to copy Millar but its like they just made up there own ultimate “Ultimates”,and why does wasp have Red hair and is for some reason no longer Asain? Which none of you brought up.
October 16th, 2008 at 8:06 pm
Ultimates 3 was …
Ultimates 3 was pretty terrible. Only Joe Mad’s art was good, but Loeb’s writing in that was horrendous.
