And to continue downertude, I really doubt this board would make a different. I don't imagine every lurker voting would make a big deal.

Yeah, brief is the word… she's in… two panels? Not to spoil anything but the picture of her is the final page of the book. Still, at least we aren't going to wait three years for #4.

Also. For a comic that was pretty much pushed with ZOMG, NOW THEY IS AGONNA FIGHT! There… wasn't a lot of fighting. The art is great and the fighting there was, was awesome… but yeah, for the Wolverine fanboys… not quite the awesome fight they were hoping for, I imagine.

So… it's out today, who is going to tell us whether it was worth waiting three years for?

I'd have gone looking for it today but there is about one place to buy comics in town and as it's Forbidden Planet, it's useless.

IT'S DARK AND EDGY! Maybe it's why she changed from Asian to Caucasian between Ultimates 2 and 3?

Also, it seems like She-Hulk will be in #3.

And here's a page for Amaz0ns, if anyone wants to write about it – I am fuzzy on the history…

We'll find out soon enough but as I've said elsewhere – continuity wise, Betty Ross being She-Hulk does not compute.

Yes, it would be cool – definitely – but it would make no sense given the events at the end of The Ultimates 2. In fact, it would pretty much directly contradict them. Which isn't to say Marvel is a bastion of continuity but I don't think they'd go for such an obvious about face. I'd make some comment about the writer having so damned long to think about this that he'd probably know that… but hey, Kevin Smith spent 2 years writing The Evil That Men Do and thought retconning Black Cat into a rape victim was a super idea.

As I've said, The Ultimate Universe has a habit of taking characters and making them grittier and edgier… or I suppose making them really lame – like Mr. Sinister and Doctor Doom. Also, introducing Ultimate characters and then just killing them.

Also, they're cutting back on the number of Ultimate titles… But I guess we'll find out, come April.

[Prophet Tenebrae]

Hopefully this will be a fun series… but I'm going out on a limb and guessing that She-Thulk is lean and green all the time.

And yes, it'll be nice to have She-Hulk after she loses her solo title… let's hope she gets onto a team… or that the Lady Liberators get a book for themselves.

[Prophet Tenebrae]

Yeah, I like the look… I think one of the problems with the Ultimate Universe is that – beyond being younger, edgier and grittier – it too often takes characters and doesn't REALLY change them all that much. So, that they did something different is good.

As to the delays… well, it's no secret Joe Q is keen to do pretty much everything he can to piss off fans – and what better way to do that than hire Hollywood writers and then cut them as much slack as they like. Of course, Kevin Smith has since accrued many more crimes to his name since The Evil That Men Do…

But yeah, beyond making me further doubt that there is any driving logic in the comic book industry beyond Wolverine = profit – I'm passed caring about the delays, when I have the book in my hand I will simply sigh in relief and hope that it doesn't suck. Or retcon the Ultimate She-Hulk into a rape victim.

[Prophet Tenebrae]

I think you may want to revise the title to something less misleading.

It is not a great movie and the number of transformations is… well, the clip shows about half of the ones worth mentioning.

I was disappointed by it but then, it didn't really have aspirations beyond that of a mild horror film with that kink tossed in for good measure.

[Prophet Tenebrae]

I'm not sure what decade you're living in, Capt but I'm pretty sure your bog standard blog page hasn't cost anything this side of the millennium.

Blogger, Livejournal, wordpress… None of them will cost you a dime and you can limit access if you should be inclined to do so.

Or hell, if you want to do that you could just use google documents.

Bottom line – lotta free blogs out there.
