What are the best Ultimate universe comics to read? I've read Spiderman and The Ultimates. Where should I go next? Fantastic Four? X-Men?
Nah you got it. Millar Ultimates and Bendis Spidey
X-Men sucked
I read like maybe 30-40 issues of it, and I was waiting for it to get good, but it didn't
I enjoyed Fantastic Four a lot more actually. Up to a certain point.
Some of the events or limited series were okay. A lot of cool crossover stuff happened. Some of the ones Bendis did were okay.
But Bendis on USM, Millar's Ultimates, Hickman's Ultimates is about the only true good material in Ultimate Universe

Fantastic Four is great.
Ultimate X-men sucks and aged horribly.
>>82677500
Ultimate Spider-man (Peter)
Ultimates 1 and 2
thats it
everything else is schizo in quality or just flat out sucks

Interesting that the x-men run isn't good. I have so backed-up x-men stores i've been meaning to read that i'm relieved to hear I can skip this.

Ultimate Galactus trilogy is pretty great.
Generally speaking each of the Ultimate titles is good up until Ultimatum.
After that run and don't look back.

I was going to suggest that Ultimates 3 is the beginning of the end, and that everything after that (Ultimatum included) is to be avoided.

Ultimates 3 is definitely godawful, but I think some of the other ultimate titles were still pretty good.

Ultimates 3 is just as bad as Ultimatum just on a smaller scale
>Throw out Pyro's undercover shtick and make him a rapist
> Black Panther is actually Cap for some reason
>Wanda and Pietro are incestuous
>>82677991
>Cap just doesn't understand incest because he's old
>Nemesis showing up to rape Valkyrie even though he's dead
>Valkyrie actually being magic for some reason
>Thor doesn't have his axe-hammer thing
>>82677907
No Hickman's Ultimates is genuinely Superb.
>Only one mention of Hickman's Ultimates
>/co/ has already forgotten all the hype for every issue
>/co/ also forgot the extreme butt hurt after the last 2 issues.

Good point. I forgot that Hickman had Ultimate titles.
So skip everything after Ultimates 3, save for Hickman's F4 and Ultimates and whatever else he did. Though I do recall the ending to his run being stymied by Humphries.
