Your Ideal Ultimate Mini...?

[ThePhenom]

Just wondering, with all the Ultimate mini's that get done, upcoming and current (Ultimate Wolverine vs. Hulk, Ultimate Power, Ultimate Daredevil, Ultimate Wolverine, Ultimate Vision) and the various opinions on them ("Land's a tracer", "where is UWvH #3?", "they said they'd never release those back up stories", "why must they stick Loeb on everything") what would be the ideal mini?

So many people have different ideas of what the Ultimate universe is about and how it's being taken in the wrong direction, with mini's replacing crossovers a lot of the time sometimes they end up telling the best story.

So what would your ideal mini be?
Who would write it?
Who would pencil it?
Where (if anywhere) would it tie in to the universe continuity?

Mine:

Ultimate House of M (in 9 parts)
- Not a redo of House of M, a look at the history of Magneto and his bloodline, 9 parts told over 3 different stories.
- The first 3 covering Magneto's early life, meeting Charles and the birth of Wanda and Pietro. Told from Magneto's perspective.
- The next 3 covering Pietro and Wanda's teenage lives, and including some time in the Brotherhood. Told from Pietro's perspective.
- The final 3 covering Wanda's and Pietro life alongside the Ultimates. Told from Wanda's perspective.
- Would reveal that Polaris is the third child of Magneto, builds into what Magneto is doing with Longshot now, and give some much needed depth to Wanda and Pietro as Ultimates (as well as their relationship).
- Written by Mark Millar.
- Pencilled by Leinil Francis Yu.

Ultimate Nick Fury, Agent Of SHIELD

Fury's adventures back in the day when he was just SHIELD's best operative.
Two ways this can go.
Either you get Greg Rucka to do semi-realistic post-coldwar spy stories with added mutants set in the early 90's, or you take Casanova and file off the serial numbers.

[rwsmith]

I'd like to see one where Ultimate Wolverine fights the Ultimate Hulk, perhaps drawn by Lenil Yu.

Or Ultimate Wolverine, with Michael Turner doing the art.;)

[Sparda]

Ultimate mini for me would be a spin off from the clone saga on telling the stories of what the clone's been up to. Also would be really cool, if Hydra would train them to be super soldiers. Written by bendis and drawn by bagley.

[killerbass]

Now that's just crazy talk...

Ultimate Moon Knight

Writer: Brian Michael Bendis
Artist: David Finch

I really like to see a title to show Ultimate Moon Knight's back story. Really see who he is, and what he is all about. I really just think this character has potential.

[Nick MB]

I like the current formula of the Ultimate Universe doing their big events in the form of mini-series rather than messing around with crossovers between titles... And I'd kinda rather they kept saving the mini-series for those. I think solo mini-series are a bit pointless and redundant. The streamlining of the Ultimate universe is one aspect of the appeal.

[JuggernautRM]

Ultimate Marvel Knights or whatever the group that DareDevil and the Punisher are putting together of street levelers.

[Lanowar]

I remember doing a topic like this a couple of months if not a year ago and one of my ideas I talked about there was an Ultimate Thor mini series in which Thor is sent by Fury to pacify an mercernary claming to be Ares God Of War and dealing with the idea that it might not just be Norse mythology which is real...

[The Batman]

Probably something with Ultimate Apocalypse where he decides to really mess with the entire globe in a really big way to bring about that crucible to burn away all the soft weaknesses from humanity that he's always going on about. Everyone in the Ulitmate U could get involved with trying to take him and his Horsemen down. I'd have said Ultimate Galactus but they already did that and it was abit of a let down so if they do an Ultimate Apocalypse I hope they do it better.

btw I think and Ultimate Moon Knight would just plain rock though I am enjoying the Moon Knight series that's coming out already quite a bit.

Also, I know it's not an Ultimate crossover but the universe from Mark Millar's Wanted borrowed alot from the Ultimate asthetic and it posited a reality where the bad guys one and the heroes were all silly and outdated. I really wanted the Wanted Universe to crossover with the regular DCU just for the sheer joy of seeing the villians being put into their place by real heroes.

[Verydopey]

i want the third part of the Ultimate daredevil thingy. it needs wrapping up, he's not even got the costume yet.

also, ultimate moonknight. explaining his back story, and the whole split personallity thing

last. - ultimate invasion. or something. atlantis invades the surface world. maybe have it so the inhumans end up helping against the invasion, as they imprisoned namor, or even caused the sinking of atlantis.

[Cayman]

Ultimate Thor - Mark Millar and Simone Bianchi

Ultimate Dr. Strange - Mike Carey and Fraser Irving

Id want to see moon knight on flight from the law for his killings. He does have multiple personalities afterall, Id like to see that played into a great deal more. One being a psycho path. Orginally they used those alot but after awhile they stopped, I thought it kind of made him cool.

Ultimate Strange: Something Wicked This Way Comes (5 issues)

Story By CAREY
Art by YU

Basically this would make his previous appearances non-continuity and establish stat quo for the good doctor as a cross between X-Files/and Gabriel Knight. He would travel around exploring ghosts, werewolves, demons and all types of ill s@#$. This would open up the supernatural side of the ultimate universe. Could have guest appearances by Blade, The Spirit Of Vengeance, Werewolf by Night, Dracul..whatever

i like that idea. but only if they can do it keeping his previous appearances canon. cause the last thing the ultimate U needs is people declaring more stuff is wrong.

I agree, the young, confused guy trying to follow in his father's footsteps, as established in Ultimate Team-Up and Ultimate Spidey, could easily be used for the type of stories suggested without needing to tie complex continuity knots.

Ultimate Inhumans- Ellis and Cassaday

I'd have said Ultimate Galactus but they already did that and it was abit of a let down so if they do an Ultimate Apocalypse I hope they do it better.

Yeah, a global threat Apocalypse with his four horsemen involving all the titles would be great. Call it Ultimate Age of Apocalypse and turn it in an epic that gets most of the ultimate heroes and villains involved. Sure a good chunk of characters would be cameos of the saving a bystander or getting swatted by a horseman or Apocalypse.

[Sorcerer Supreme]

Hmmm..
My Ultimate Marvel mini will have to be Strange. I dont know who I would have writing it.
I would probably have Jim Cheung on the artwork as I really like his work in Young Avengers.

[Mister Mets]

Ultimate Captain America
12-13 issue epic (just like a season of the Ultimates.)
Writer) Mark Millar
Artist) Bryan Hitch/ Alan Davis/ John Cassady

It's structurally similar to the Ultimates, but focuses entirely on Captain America, including many flashbacks to his past (ie- his origin, World War 2 enemies.)

[MrPunch0]

I'd like to see one where Ultimate Wolverine fights the Ultimate Hulk, perhaps drawn by Lenil Yu.

AND - it would be on time. ;)


Ultimate Captain America

I would love to see this happen. Ultimate Cap is my favorite character. Heck - I'd be happy to have the mini focus on his WWII days. Nothing says fun like whuppin' some Nazis.

[The Foreigner]

I would love to see this happen. Ultimate Cap is my favorite character. Heck - I'd be happy to have the mini focus on his WWII days. Nothing says fun like whuppin' some Nazis.

That's what I'd like to see. A Cap mini that takes place in WWII that gives us his full origin-- Start with Steve and Bucky signing up for the military, find out how the whole Super Soldier thing came about, and you could probably go all the way up through Cap's first encounter with Kleiser (In which he got that nasty scar referenced in issue 7 of Ultimates).

For a long time, I believe Millar was planning on doing a project like this with Steve McNiven, and then they ended up doing Civil War instead. I'd love to see them tackle this project.

My top choice would be a Dr. Strange mini, though writing out previous continuity would be an incredibly stupid idea. Looking back, one of the biggest mysteries of the UU that has yet to be explained is what happened to the original Dr. Strange-- We know from USM he disapeared, and his son took over as Sorcerer Supreme, so I'd love to see a globe-hopping tale with Strange Jr. traveling the world with Wong and a band of magic adventurers, unravelling the mystery of his father's disapearance-- And of course there'd be demons, ghosts, and zombies galore. Leinil Yu on art would be brilliant (Although he would be amazing on any project).

[Mister Mets]

Something I think would be cool, similar to new mini series.

For the last quarter ‘fifth week’ event I’d release a series of five one-shots set in the Ultimate Universe connected by a single theme. It would be an annual event.

Possibilities..
Ultimate Christmas….A series of five Christmas stories starring Ultimate characters. The trade should make an awesome present. Will Eisner’s Christmas Spirit is the obvious inspiration.
Ultimate Villains….Single issue spotlights on five villains in the Ultimate Universe. Venom, Magneto, and Doctor Doom are no-brainers.
Ultimate Marvel Team Up…..5 more Spider-Man team-ups. Possibilities include Iceman (Kitty’s ex-boyfriend, and “Amazing Friends” links), Captain America, and Henry Pym (what would Spider-Man think of him?)
Ultimate Wolverine Team Up….Self-explanatory.
Ultimate Firsts….The first appearances of Ultimate versions of Marvel characters (ie-Ghost Rider, She-Hulk.)

There could also be series of solo tales of team members (ie- one year has a solo spotlight on the X-men, another the Fantastic Four, etc...)
The potential creators are anyone skilled in comics who has the time to draw a single issue, which could also include mostly retired artists (ie- Michael Golden) in addition to A-list artists between projects.

It would certainly sell better than most fifth-week events, and has many storytelling benefits.

[Red Lotus]

Ultimate Hawkeye
Mark Millar
Bryan Hitch

You get to see hawkeye going on "black ops" missions.

[Verydopey]

i'd quite like an ultimate thor mini. i liked the ares idea suggested before. although i want a moon knight story, i dont think they will just yet because of his new on-going series.

[The Mole]

Ultimate Galactus..... done properly!

Hey it's a comic book, I think I can take a big..well something invading earth ok! I've forgotten that other one already!

[MrPunch0]

For a long time, I believe Millar was planning on doing a project like this with Steve McNiven, and then they ended up doing Civil War instead. I'd love to see them tackle this project.

I thought I remembered something about this too.

Millar + McNiven + UWWII Cap = smells like awesome

Not that they'll listen to me, but I actually emailed the ultimate marvel office with an idea similar to this. It was based on the Unlimited books, like X-Men Unlimited, of the late 90's that showed one issue stories, and with characters other than the major ones. My idea was to do Ultimate Unlimted, or something, and each month could feature some minor character from the Ultimate U, and they could even tie into the rest of the stories--Dazzler just ran off from the X-Men, she could get an issue. The ultimates are cleaning up in the wake of Grand Theft America--what are the Defenders doing? Haven't seen Daredevil in a while, give him a three issue story. I love Moon Knight and would love to see his story, this could be a chance to feature that once every few months. A series like this doesn't have to introduce new characters, it could just give us a little more about the ones we don't know much about. Similar to what was said above, it's just one story, so it would be really hard to get behind on this book. It could even spotlight the villains every now and then.

[wolp]

Ult Iron Man Vol. 2

[Omega Alpha]

Ultimate Thor, he's the best character on the UU.

I like the "Ultimate Unlimited" idea too, as long as it does not focuse on the same characters all the time (meaning Spider-Man and Wolverine).

[Enigmanaut]

Ultimate Quasar vrs Ultimate Maelstrom in an update and adaption of the Cosmos in Collision storyline.

[mrcassandranova]

This might seem really random, but I have always wanted to see an Ultimate X-men mini featuring secret agent-like people that Prof. X has working for him. Itwould star three mysterious female mutants who would be behind the scenes, doing the dirty work for the x-men. Similar to Charlie's Angels I guess. A big voice telling them what to do.

Ultimate 3: 5 issues
Writer: Fed Van Lente
Artist: Dennsi Calero

[Nick MB]

Anything that involves giving a solo miniseries to a regular character in an existing Ultimate title comes under "bad idea" for me... I really think over-franchising is bad. (Yes, I did grimace at the prospect of Ultimate Wolverine and Ultimate Iron Man) I think the Ultimate brand should be protected and kept special. Once more than five or six Ultimate titles come out every month, things have officially gone wrong.

At the very least, I like Marvel's policy of only launching solo minis when they have high-grade unique creators to make it worthwhile, i.e. Card on Iron Man and Turner on Wolverine.

[Hellstormer]

Ultimate Ghost Rider and Ultimate Moon Knight, my two favorite 616 characters.

[robbrooks78]

I like the "Ultimate Unlimited" idea too, as long as it does not focuse on the same characters all the time (meaning Spider-Man and Wolverine).

Oh definitely. The idea works best if it's someone who is not currently starring in an on-going Ultimate series.

[Enigmanaut]

How about "Ultimate Impossibility" starring the Impossible Man. :D

Ultimate Secret Wars?

Ultimate Rom?

[robbrooks78]

I'd love to see an Ultimate Man-Thing miniseries. Or an Ultimate Horror miniseries, with Man-Thing, Werewolf, Zombie, they could each get one issue.

[Effect]

My idea would have much of the primary heros feed up with just how much control and power Shield has. They are pretty much tried basicly having a gun put to their head in a manner of speaking.The event kicks off with Fury having his Ultimates track down a would be hero simply because he doesn't want to answer to Fury. This is basicly for the final straw for groups such as the Fantastic Four and the X-men. Along with Spider-man who has a pure hatred for Fury they form an alliance to basiclly take down Shield or at the very least lessen it's grip it has over the heros in the US.

This basiclly leads to these groups attempting to sabotoge different Shield operations (none of the serious stuff but their bases, communication, etc..). Fury soon finds out what is going on and boy is he upset. He's had enough of the problems so decides to use the Ultimates to go after all three factions. As a result of recent events Peter has been spending more and more time with the Fantastic Four. He's basiclly family in a way now since him and Johnny are best friends, gets along great with Sue and Ben and him and Reed have similar interest with Peter finally being able to take advantage of his science interest. Fury gets word that the FF w/ Spidey are at the X-mansion for whatever reason. So Fury, orders the Ultimtes into actions (they don't like this at all and really think Fury is going to far since Fury has made it clear that he basiclly wants the FF, Spidey and X-men gone as in dead and doesn't care about going easy on them). He sends Slayers along with Sentinels he's gotten his hands on along with them. Before the fighting can start Captain America and the others can't go through with this and send a warning on ahead to the X-men to get them prepared. Upon arriving, thinking their message got through undetected the Ultimates continue to act like they are going to attack. Fury on the other realized what happen and orders the slayers and sentinels to attack the Ultimates as well.

This ends with a huge battle with the Ultiamtes, Spider-man, FF, and X-men facing off against Slayers and an army of Sentinels. The battle clearly attracts attention and brings others with powers to their aid. However Shields enemies take advantage of this and direction assult their headquarters. Even as the alliance of Ultimate heros manage to beat back Fury's attack and attempt to save Shield headquarters from it's enemies the damage is done and Shield is a shell of it's former self. However the alliance has gotten what it wanted for a time. Free of Fury's control and Shields power is lessened. FF, Spidey, and X-men can rest easy for a while but Ultimates have a bigger problem as they turned on their boss. However the negativity of Shield is bad that they are clearly in the wrong and the whole world knows it. So they have to very careful about the actions they try to take against places like Stark Enterprise, the Fantastic Four, etc. The Ultimates decide what they still could do good (not sure how this would work since not sure of their personalities since I don't read the Ultiamtes) but end up more private like the 616 in that they don't answer to Shield cause they simply can't trust them anymore. Some members stay while other goes. Some of the heros that showed up to help become members at least on a temp basis to see who works out.

Now how sure this would actually work out but it deals with a concern I have about the Ultimate universe which is that Shield and Fury have to much power and potential control over the heros. So much so that it's scary and that needs to be dealt with I think.

[creaky]

Ultimate Nightcrawler. About his road back to sanity (or whatever road he takes from here) and a more in-depth explanation about where he comes from, what his life has looked like and just how he ended up the way he is. I don't think there's enough room for that kind of story in a group title.

Of course, he may be next in line for the chopping block, but even so.

[Gargus]

Ultimate inferno.

And maybe with all the magic flying around dr strange will get involved and die for good! And then the real stephen strange will step forward.

[Titanium]

A series of miniseries.

Ultimate Strange Tales

A look at the supernatural side of ultimate marvel. Doc Strange assembles a team of supernatural characters to deal with the coming threat of Dormammu. He bases the team off a note his father left behind for him to find. The team consists of Dr. Druid, Jennifer Kale, Diablo, Brother Voodoo, and Daimon Hellstrom. However the team of magic users assembled are frauds. Dr. Druid is a psychic to the stars/ghost whisperer/all around bad magician. Jennifer Kale is a college girl with a wicca phase. Diablo's alchemy skills are great, but he's a feeble minded old man in a nursing home. Brother VooDoo is the only one who can actually use magics, but he's slightly insane. Daimon Hellstrom, the son of satan, is a shield agent strange pulls off assignment by using an illusion to fake orders from Nick Fury.

This group ends up going through an adventure into mystery and magic unlocking secrets and establishing the supernatural world in the ultimate universe. Doc Strange's abilities grow and he steps up into the role of sorcer supreme of a world where magic has been neglected and old barriers between worlds have begun to fall down he also meets Clea the demon queen and falls in love. Dr. Druid gets killed off after being mind controlled by Dormammu's priest Baron Mordo. Jennifer Kale becomes a magic powerhouse. Diablo's crazy old man antics unlock the secret of immortality. Brother voodoo reveals he's known this team and adventure would happen since being contacted by stephen strange sr years ago and begins to train Jr. in the voodoo arts. But the big thing is Son of Satan finds out he really his the Son of Satan and the original strange had kept tabs on him for years to keep him off the radar of other mystics.

Along the way they encounter supernatural beings like Werewolf by night, Blade and Morbius, Dracula, and a man named Johnny Blaze. As well as other marvel characters, including Dr. Doom. All setting up a second miniseries furthering the adventures of Dr. Strange and Son of Satan who encounter more supernatural characters and the coming invasion of earth by other dimensional beings. Ultimate Ghost Rider shows up, SHIELD becomes concerned with the occult. It all ends with a third miniseries, Ultimate Inferno. Where Doc Strange and his rag tag crew of mystics and supernatural creatures team with the ultimates and FF to fight the coming menance of Mephisto.

[Mister Mets]

Of course, he may be next in line for the chopping block, but even so.
This could work. His origin is unexplored, and he has good reasons to go on a solo adventures/ many demons to face.

I'm sure there are good potential creators for something like this.

[Towelie88]

Ultimate Silver Surfer

I can't remember Extinction all that well, but I think one of the Surfers was captured by Cap and Falcon. Basically a mini where the creature escapes from it's Shield confines and enters the big wide world, cut from it's ties to Gah Lak Tus. Disorientated and frightened in this completely alien landscape, it learns about human values and morality whilst remembering how to use it's awesome powers, all the time on the run from Shield.

And eventually it can recall how to form a big awesome silver board.

[TheLazy]

I'm probably the only one who thinks so, but I liked Grant Morrisons stint on (New) X-men, so I think that they should do something that goes along those lines, but tie the rest of the ultimate universe in there too. Maybe have Shield start the genocide of genosha (Sp?).

Failing that, I like the Ultimate Christmas Idea, but have it as a collection of short tales from different perspectives.

[Titanium]

Ultimate Infinity


Introduce some of the big cosmic characters to the ultimate universe. All reimagined for todays sci fi crowd.

An Ultimate Infinity Gauntlet. With some explaination as to the power of the gems without the cosmic power origin. Such as it's really a powerful device that bends reality through crossing it with other dimensions and planes of reality. Altering the probablity grid by breaking dimensional walls. A combination of what the Scarlet witch does, with the n-zone explosion that gave the ff their powers in a controlled manner. All Ultimate Reed Richards mumbo jumbo.

A whole slew of cosmic characters should show up. Starting with the main characters being the FF, Mahr Vehl, Thor, and Tony Stark.

Od'm Wuhr L'k(Adam Warlock), Gamora, Drax the Destoryer, Terrax, the Star Lord, Rom, Quasar, even the Nova Corps. Gah Lak Tus' presence is made known by the appearence of a silver surfer. Maybe even the Living Tribunal.

Ultimate Thor - Atleast 5 or more books

Ragnarok, the war to end all wars it drawing closer. Sensing this Odin sends his son Thor to earth to ensure the survival of humanity. He also orders the Drawfs to forge a weapon for his son (Mjolnir). Armed with Mjolnir and his belt (Magingorde) Thor agrees to go to earth, however Thor's half-brother Loki interfers and causes Thor to lose his memory. Loki also manages to steals Thor's belt and hammer (Mjolnir).

Some events happen which eventually leads Thor to stubbels upon his Mjolnir and starts to regain his true purpose he was put on to earth for.

Thor also learns that not all humans are good at heart, therefore time to time he participates in "friendly" protest to help his friends. He also tries to find where his "Belt" is located. Eventually leading him to fight Dr Doom ( or any suitable villian ) to regain his belt

My idea for a Ultimate Mini would be "Ultimate Fighting"
Because I would want different creative team, two to four issues to come up with a good reason for Characters to throw down. Because sometimes you just want to see the characters you love, fight for their lives.
First Arc: Ultimate Hulk verse Ultimate Thing
Second Arc: Ultimate Thor verse Ultimate Namor
Arc Three: Ultimate Captain Marvel verse Ultimate Thanos
Arc Four: Ultimate Captain America verse Ultimate Wolverine
The Last Arc would be a little different it would be about Doom verse Zombie World. It would pick up, just a few second after the end of UFF #32. This arc would end with Doom verse Zombie Doom!

Just call it Ultimate VS. Rather than being a maxi-series, it could be a recurring series of mini series, with no final arc. Hell, Marvel could just say it began with "Ultimate Wolverine VS Hulk."

I'd honestly prefer Hulk VS Thing as an Ultimate Fantastic Four arc just because it'll provide a good arc for a series which is generally considered the weakest of the Ultimates. And it gives them a chance to add the Fantastic Four into the mess. That said, i'd love to see a six part arc dealing with the same territory as Fantastic Four #25-26.

Ultimate Darkhawk!

A four issue limited series by Grant Morrison and Frank Quietly.

I can dream can't I?
It'd be kinda funny if they take a lame 616 hero, and turn him into an ubercompetent powerhouse/ major player in the Ultimate U.



I'm probably the only one who thinks so, but I liked Grant Morrisons stint on (New) X-men, so I think that they should do something that goes along those lines, but tie the rest of the ultimate universe in there too. Maybe have Shield start the genocide of genosha (Sp?).

Failing that, I like the Ultimate Christmas Idea, but have it as a collection of short tales from different perspectives.

Given the numerous best of lists "E For Extinction" appears on, the sales New X-men had under Morrison, and how quickly it was released as an Omnibus, you are not the only fan of Morrison's stint on New X-men.

I don't think SHIELD should start the genocide of Genosha, because that would rightly piss off too many people. However, I think Ultimate X-men should use elements of Morrison's run: Cassandra Nova, the U-Men, and Xorn.

And Ultimate Christmas would be short tales from different perspectives. The tales may be slightly linked. Ie- A radio in the Ultimate Thing Christmas special references events in the Ultimate Spider-man Christmas special.

[Dj0rel]

Ultimate Alliance :D

[Starpiper]

I'd really like to see an Academy of Tomorrow mini-series, though a Dr. Strange mini would also be keen. And because I seriously geek out over them, I wouldn't say no to a mini-series centered on Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver.

Academy of Tomorrow: BKV (writer), either Chris Bacchalo or Jim Cheung (artist)
Dr. Strange: Mike Carey (writer), Oliver Coipel (artist)
Scarlet Witch & Quicksilver: Mike Carey (writer), Oliver Coipel (artist)

The Ultimate Christmas thing would be so cute, though, if they ever did it.

[Roons]

I think the Ultimate WWII Cap is an outstanding idea.

Millar and Hitch of course.


I have to say I with the Ultimate U would slow down with all the cosmic arcs and minis at the moment. I like the Ultimate books because they aren't (or weren't) over the top 1990's 616 style craziness.

[Mister Mets]

This could work for an Ultimate Fant Four arc, but I'd love Ultimate Marvel Two in One starring the Thing for six issues.

Possible team-ups.
Daredevil- Love the idea of a monster, and blind man working together.
Jean Grey- Because of her reaction when she realizes Grimm likes her.
Hulk- Nuff said. Works best after a Thing VS Hulk arc, so it could just feature the two working together.

[BloodRedSandman]

I would love to see this happen. Ultimate Cap is my favorite character. Heck - I'd be happy to have the mini focus on his WWII days. Nothing says fun like whuppin' some Nazis.
Ditto. i would love to see more WWII Capt kicking Nazi Alien Butt.

Ultimate Doctor Strange, following the setup of the character from Ultimate Marvel Team Up, but also focusing on Strange's two assistant henchmen carrying out various tasks for him, a former motorcycle stuntman named Johnny Blaze, and a pothead slacker college student named Rick Sheridan, both of whom may have more to them than meets the eye... :rolleyes:

It practically writes itself. but just for the sake of pie-in-the-sky nerdgasm, have Neil Gaiman write it, since him and Marvel are chummy now. The artistic style should be somewhat dark and preferrably painted, perhaps Gabriele Dell'Otto or Clayton Crain.

Yeah, I'd buy that.

AND - it would be on time. ;)



I would love to see this happen. Ultimate Cap is my favorite character. Heck - I'd be happy to have the mini focus on his WWII days. Nothing says fun like whuppin' some Nazis.

It would be a great series!!! it could run for a few years and the last issue would be Cap getting on the plane that he was on when the Ultimates started. We can even see how he knows wolverine for back in the war days..


Here are a few more ideas:


1.A Morlock massacre would be cool, or an Ultimate story line that has Angek being turned into one of the 4 horsemen. It would be really cool to see how the xmen deal with loosing a team mate and having to turn around and fight him.

2. Ultimate X-men, but it would focus on the Xaivers secret mutant agents around the world and how he runs them.

Ulitmate Shield- more for those of us that love black ops and espionage, Like Check mate in DC only witrh Nick Fury

Ultimate Defenders :D

An Ultimate Marvel Knights book would be awesome. With all the basic street heroes coming together and form a team that take down New York's underworld. That would be a mini or if possible and ongoing that I'd like to see.
