CBR: LIVE: Hickman & Humphries Tackle "Ultimate Comics: Ultimates"

[Balfro]

Speaking of Ghost Rider, I don't get why people talk crap about the first movie. I saw it and it was a lot of fun and had a great storyline.

Do you like Eye-Talian?

I, too, liked the first movie.

I can't believe Andrews would draw Xorn like Ghost Rider. That is worse than bobble-head Kitty.

What's even stranger is that looking at the cover, you can literally see sparks flying off of his head like it's on fire. Why?

That's what I meant by Xorn looking like Ghost Rider. Even his helmet doesn't look metallic like it should.

Have people that post Luke Ross' art never seen it? Didn't they read Quicksilver story in Fallout?

That was Luke Ross?

Then I must say his style is beautiful and a welcomed addition. Clayton Crain and Billy Tan would also be great to have as guest artists.

Oh wow, I didn't realize that was him. Yeah I for sure approve of him on art duties for the Ultimates. I mean, if we HAVE to have a different artist, that is

I havent been reading Ultimates and im shamed to admit it =/

Anyone know when the trade is coming out? I really hate navigating marvel's new site -_-

Also, one thing we have to remember is the precedent on Ultimates. Yes, it sucks that Hickman is leaving. BUT, in less than a year, he delivered nine issues, plus the four issues of Hawkeye, and that doesn't count the issues he'll be co-writing, however many that might be.

Loeb, in over three years, wrote 15 of Ultimates/Ultimatum and two annuals, equaling 17 issues total of Ultimates.

So in less than a third of the time, Hickman delivered a run that was almost as long as his predecessor, short by only four issues (even less if you count his co-writes). And that's without even commenting on quality.

He will be missed, but his legacy has been set, even if it was short.

So does anyone know what book Hickman left for? And why can't he work on both books at the same time, like how Bendis is working on Avengers and Ultimate Spider-man?

We don't know yet. And he probably doesn't want to overdo it. He's already working on two Fantastic Four books and some creator owned stuff. While Bendis has several books at one time, there's a BIG difference in quality between them all. He's simply writing too many books.

Ghost Rider with tits?

[wyokid]

You mean the current 616 Ghost Rider?

Anywho, here's the new artist's work:

Reminds me of Steve Dillon. This guy draws nicer faces but overall his pictures are simplistic and static too. Not really a fan, unfortunately.

[wyokid]

Nah, he gets more detailed than that. I was just choosing something that I thought was superior to a similar scene that we have seen.
