Robot Overlord: I find that the most vexing thing that you meatbags continually engage in is the repeated use of “remakes” and “adaptations” to cover for your inability to create something correctly the first time. To that end, I have assigned Stephen and Matthew to review together something from Marvel’s Ultimate (comics) Universe, in the form of Ultimate Avengers 3 #2. They, as always, have complied.

The Ultimate Universe is supposed to be a close approximation of the Marvel 616, but targeted toward the new Marvel reader. Ultimate Avengers 3 #1 features a vampire story that seems a bit too familiar, but is it really different from the Curse of the X-Men, or just more of the same?

Blade is back and he’s not just in the Marvel 616 Universe! The vampire hunter is headed to the Ultimate (comics) Universe, showing up in Avengers 3 #1. Marvel sent Major Spoilers a sneak peek, that you can see after the jump.
Marvel Comics has announced that Ultimate (comics) Avengers #2, featuring Steve Rogers going all ape-crazy has sold out at the distributor level … although copies are probably still available at your local store. Marvel is sending the issue back to press and the second printing, complete with a variant cover by Carlos Pacheco arrives on November 11, 2009.

Mark’s return to the Ultimates was well trailed by the Marvel publicity department and everyone was expecting big things from the titles original scribe. Well nobody can say that he has run out of ideas in his time away from his onetime signature book because we are only two issues into the new run and already the direction this comic is going to take is starting to become clear. It’s all about close family members and their unlimited capacity to cause emotional and physical harm.
Even though Marvel changed it’s Ultimate line to Ultimate Comics, and still printed the title banner to read Ultimate Spider-Man, both Ultimate (Comics) Spider-Man #1 and Ultimate (Comics) Avengers #1 have sold out at the distributor level, and are headed back to press.

If you’ve read the latest issue of Ultimatum #2, you know that someone else on the list got his neck broken on the last page. Let’s see, Wasp starts with W, and what letter comes after W?
The $3.99 issue is still on sale, and is worth checking out if you are even remotely familiar with the characters in the Ultimate Universe.

Guess I missed that bit – must have happened in Ultimate X-Men, because it didn’t happen in Ultimatum #1.
Marvel sent its own Top 5 list to Major Spoilers, letting everyone know why you must read Ultimatum.

I especially like number 1 – FOREVER! (until the next big event). Is anyone else tired of that phrase’s overuse? I also like number 5, as it means no more annoying Mary Jane… or does it? I half expect that to mean everyone will become mutants.
Ultimatum #1 arrives November 5, 2008, and features a cover price of $3.99.
