Ultimate Marvel Storytime
>What's being storytimed?
Ultimate Marvel, later known as Ultimate Comics, was an imprint of comic books published by Marvel Comics, featuring re-imagined and updated versions of the company's superhero characters from the Ultimate Universe. The imprint was launched in 2000 with the publication of the series Ultimate Spider-Man and Ultimate X-Men, providing new original stories for the characters. The Marvel Multiverse, which comprises an infinite number of galaxies and alternate universes, calls this universe Earth-1610.
>Why are you doing this?
Because there's a lot of good stuff that people ignored that deserves recognition and even the bad stuff can be fun.
>Why this order?
I originally planned on doing USM to Death of Spider-Man, but I want to do the rest now. I've separated things into groups for convenience.

You are a god amongst men, boy.
>>83493893
Thank you
So... in which issue does Suetrap Reed and cuts his balls open to get his sperm and impregnate herself?
Because I know that happens.
I've seen it.
Or did I imagine it?
>>83494414
Close, but #5
>>83494544
This seems very subpar so far, OP, I fail to understand why you were shitting yourself earlier in anticipation for this. I'm sorry.
>>83494591
I...actually agree. It's potential was incredible though. Fialkov got the universe and clearly appreciated it. It was coming out the same time as All-New Ultimates and the USM arc where Peter was back to life so it seemed a LOT better.
#5 is incredible though
>>83494750
So why the hell is Namor the only notblue Atlantean?
Is that his mutation?
>>83494821

>>83495173
So Doom has Goat legs now?
What the fuck is this art.
>>83495267
>now
Doom always had goat-legs in the UU.
>>83495295
Seriously?
Wow, I actually have no words for that.
>>83495267
Yeah, in Millar's run you see them put covers on his goat legs and when he went in they were on. My guess is this is a different Doom and a different Zombieverse, especially since by killing these zombies he makes it so that the Zombieverse can never come to be due to the timeloop with Sentry.
>>83495356
My guess is that the artist just googled "Ult. Doom" and found the Ellis cover.
>>83495481
Still doesn't explain the timeloop and Doom's entire character acting differently. It's not this universe's Doom. Especially since the whole arc deals with multidimensional travel.
>>83495547
Simple.
The time loop came after Ult. Doom left.
>>83495591
Doesn't work if those zombies are dead.
>>83495644
I mean, It could be a different zombieverse but the same doom.
>>83494066
>Will save the universe
Well, that didn't quite work out, really
>>83495688
Doesn't explain why he acts differently. Just accept the truth, Dave. Search your feelings.
>>83495751
Nah.
The only truth I hold is that Fialkov could have been the second coming of Ellis tier UFF.
Fuck yeah Spider-Ham.
>>83495751
What the actual fucking hell is happening.
>>83495808
This fucking issue is a 10/10
>>83495918
All hope lies in Reed.
Goddamn it.
It could have been beautiful.
>tfw Fialkov was an active member on CBR
>tfw Fialkov most likely copied my fan fiction I posted years before this issue on who died in Ultimatum and how Doom survived

>that's...racist
Fialkov was too good
>>83496047
You tell him my pigga, thats our word.
>>83496280
It was weird how so many people misinterpreted what was going on here
THE FUCK?
>>83496256
Wait if he doesn't have organs, then how could he produce sperm?
>>83496352
That's what the surgical tools are there to find out
>>83496256

And then Fialkov left and Stuart Moore was brought in to take his plots and wrap up the series.
>>83496293
Misinterpret nothing, it's what you think is going onuntil next issue

Man, that site HATED this series.
WE COULD HAVE HAD IT ALL
THE FAME
THE FORTUNE
>>83496412
I mean, people thought thatshe was gonna castrate him
Which is...completely not what that scene was telegraphing.
>>83496497
Oh, okay, yeah. Definitely not that.
I wouldn't put it past Sue though.
>>83496643
Hahah.
What a world
>>83496728
Idiots doomed the universe
>>83496756
Nah, that wasHickmanthat did that.
It's pretty strange how this series dealt with something so similar to the Incursions, and yet weren't.
Anyway, this could have been an amazing series if Marvel hadn't saddled it with such shit art. Fialkov truly had a multi-year plan that I would have loved to see come to fruition.
>>83496786
If you want to go with what was said, then it might have helped the Ult. U survive if they had had Ult. Fanklin
>>83496806
Hickman didn't even know what was going on in this series. There was zero communication.
>>83496826
We already saw the Ultimate universe have Franklin and it SUCKED for everyone.
>>83496826
>If you want to go with what was said, then it might have helped the Ult. U survive if they had had Ult. Fanklin
Like I said here :>>83496806, they weren't dealing with the Incursions in this series, but the retarded "Time is Broken" subplot that Bendis started and ultimately went nowhere.
>>83496863
That was more because the Ultimatum Wave killed different people.
All I know is that Hickman reset Ult. Reed's characterization too.
In a very Bendis move
>>83496863
>Hickman didn't even know what was going on in this series. There was zero communication.
Following the UU from beginning to end it was pretty obvious that there was pretty massive breakdown in communication when the Ultimate Comics line started.
Remember how New Ultimates and Ultimate Thor gave two completely contradictory origins for Thor, and yet were released concurrently?
>>83496907
You know, they probably helped destroy their universe.
But it was nice to see the UFF back together.
>>83496968
2 things could have saved it.
Fialkov writing and making it a Last Day title.
Why the fuck wasn't it a Last Day title?
Because otherwise...the Ultimate Universe already did end.
>>83496968
What a fitting end, eh?
>>83496968
Such a stupid fucking cover. 3 of those characters had been gone for years before this series started.
>>83497000
>Why the fuck wasn't it a Last Day title?
The final incursion should have been it's own miniseries.
616 vs. 1610 in a real down and out fight, with characters getting killed left and right.
Instead they blew through it in 1 issue.
>>83497047
But it could have been.
This mini was the definition of false advertising
>>83496907
So, what happens with the baby?
>>83497116
Never seen again
>>83497116
Never mentioned again.
>>83497134
>>83497145
>>83497148
That's fucking bullshit.
So it was all for nothing in the end.
>>83497182
As was bringing Peter back to life.
>>83497117
But...
Ultimate Cap died?
Did he vome back to life?
What?
And also, Spiderwoman doesn't use that suit anymore, she's Black Widow now.
What the fuck.
Honestly if I were doing this I wouldn't storytime it at all.
It's not the UU.
>>83497264
This is a Battleworld territory created by Doom and Strange. It's not the UU
>>83497294
Yeah, I'm I'm gonna stop. I'll need to do this when I do Secret Wars anyway. I also need to go to bed.
That's it for the Ultimate Universe! Thanks for reading! I'll be back to tomorrow to start Hickman's SHIELD! Who here /readeverything/? And was it your first time?
>>83497324
>>83497330
I'm more confused than ever now.
>OP just deleted everything related of UE.
Kek
>>83497505
Can you really blame me?
>>83497449
That's Secret Wars for you
>>83496695
>Giant-Man with Giant Ants
Did anything from this series ever get brought up again, at all? Didn't Reed go right back to being The Maker or whatever?
Art aside I really liked this series and was disappointed after hearing it basically got downgraded to a miniseries, but I guess at that point the Ultimate Universe was gonna be trashed anyways.
