3. Ultimate Captain America Annual
4. Ultimate Power
5. Ultimate Hulk Annual
6. The Ultimates 3
7. Ultimatum

Wow Ultimate Hulk Annual above Ultimatum thats new.
The only story I liked by Loeb for the UU was Ultimate Captain America Annual.

[wyokid]

Ultimate Hulk Annual is one of my favorite comics. It's so freaking hilarious.

i would put it at the top of that list
whats wrong with the ultimate hulk annual Zarda is freaking Badasss! the books humor is great, and above all i beleive it was the last Interior art Marko Dejurdivic did, and it was Amazingly drawn, the battles felt like truly a clash of God powered beings

And also he was wearing the wrong suit.

He was wearing the right suit dammit! :P

EDIT: Actually it's the sheer amount of damage that suit takes during this mini that I use to explain why he isn't using it any more. That suit was just GONE by the end of the book.

OH and as for Parliament, that was probably an art error or somesuch, as there's not really that many places in London non-brits would recognise I feel.

The thing for me is that Bendis has never been an "Ultimate Universe" writer since he's never really written the "big picture" (outside of maybe Doomsday). He's more of a Spider-Man writer in my opinion, even though his Spider-Man stories happen to take place in the Ultimate Universe.

It's probably gotta be Hickman, Millar, Ellis.

Not just Doomsday. But Origins and Power as well. And he even had a run on UXM. And he did the best tie-in to Ultimatum. He's written the longest running on-going in the UU. He's writing something for DWF and he's promoting the UU with Spider-men.

You may think some of his books aren't all that. But regardless, Bendis I think has dedicated just as much, if not more than the writers you've mentioned.

Not really.

Iron Man was back in the Ultimate suit for Ultimatum.

Ah you got me there. Touche'.

1. Ultimate X
2. New Ultimates
3. Ultimate Captain America Annual
4. Ultimate Power
5. Ultimate Hulk Annual
6. The Ultimates 3
7. Ultimatum

In that order.

1. Ultimate Captain America Annual (I really enjoyed this)
2. Ultimate X (It was alright)
3. Ultimate Hulk Annual (Didn't mind this at all)
4. Ultimatum (Some of my most beloved characters are wasted away)
5. The Ultimates 3 (A disgrace to my favourite book)
6. New Ultimates (Poorest story I've ever read)
7. Ultimates Power (How can a writer f*** something like that up?!!)

[Havok C.]

I feel like Ultimate X-Men has some of the best writers in my opinion. Millar (back then), Brian K. Vaughn, Bendis, Kirkman (yes, I liked his run) and outside of UXM, still Millar when he did Ultimates, Ellis, and even Bendis again.

[Sparrowsabre7]

Millar followed closely by Ellis.

6. New Ultimates (Poorest story I've ever read)

I Cant even Imagine how your brain works............. HOW ON THIS EARTH WAS NEW ULTIMATES WORSE THAN ULTIMATES 3 AND ULTIMATUM!
ok MABYE its not a good book but there is absolutly nothing in it that is offensivly bad, ultimates 3 and ultimatum where over flowing Offensive sucktastic bullshit

Alright calm down, I'll explain.
And I'm sure my brain and perception of things is shaped by my education, environment and experiences just like everyone else's.

Yes I agree, Ultimates 3 and Ultimatum were offensive bullshit. But I just found New Ultimates way more boring than those two.

You know those dialogue boxes in some of Loeb's ultimate books? I found them to be the most annoying in his later work. Tony thinking about himself. Valkyrie thinking about herself. Now that was bullshit, AND is distrupted the flow of the story. I wanted it to read it very quickly and be done with it. I was happy that Loeb finally cleared up most of his most prominent plot holes, but this was the first comicbook I had ever picked up that literally made me think to myself: "Why the hell am I reading comicbooks? What is this shit?" It was the first trade I had read in ages and when I was reading through it I was actually considering quitting reading comicbooks all together. I waited and waited through the build up, waited for Thor to return and unleash his god like rage. But then it all fell flat. Like a ballon losing all it's air. Limp and useless like a floppy cock. You know what I mean? After all that 'deep character development' by Loeb and his shitty dialogue boxes, not even Thor's rage was entertaining at the end.

hhhhhmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.......................... ....(pondering).................................. ok, respectfuly i enjoyed the seperate narations for each issue and i liked Valkyrie's story line there, thors coming back could have been better storywise yes, but for me the level of badass that frank cho drew thor in that book and his fight scenes (specialy the one with ZARDA) made up for it, Just my opinion
but yes i understand your point now
peace

I'm really not a fan of Frank Cho, but it's not really his fault that the book turned out so bad. Most posters disagree with me, but I think New Ultimates is the worst book in the UU. Though I can see why so many posters hate Ultimatum so much because it is so overly offensive. Wasp's death was what really made me dislike Ultimatum. That scene was literally offensive.

Btw, you're Boromire (can't spell) image you posted earlier made me laugh. One does not like Loeb, or something like that. Very funny.

I can't think of a single Loeb-written Ultimate book that I like. But I felt New Ultimates was definitely not the worst for me. Ultimates 3 was, with Ultimatum shortly after.

New Ultimates is probably my favourite Loeb Ultimate book, but I 100% agree on the narrations, it was weird and forced.

[SpeedofLife]

New Ultimates has some really bad continuity errors as well:

-Thor's origin
-Tony crediting himself with starting the Ultimates
-Cap calling Bucky his sidekick, and incorrectly stating that he got his current shield during WW2

I really like Loeb's Ultimate X, but nothing else of his has done it for me so far.

My favourites would be Millar's early stuff, Vaughn's X-Men run and Hickmans The Ultimates.

I probably would have gone with Spencer too but now I'm not getting his complete story it's left a bit of a bitter taste.
