Gah! I LOVE the title of the article but I don't wanna spoil the issue!

All I can say is that "Divided We Fall" ends on a big moment and what comes next is even bigger.

It is starting to annoy me. All I keep hearing is BIGGER BIGGER It now feels like one of those Animes where things keep escalating no matter how little sense it makes. This world has lost all sense of being able to believe it. They are starting to abuse their abilities for this universe when that is not what it is supposed to be about.

At that angle, the new Iron Man armor looks amazing. I think I am already used to it. Hope it stays for a while.

Oh my god. Are those seriously 616 War Machines? Are you kidding me?

This is it, boys. This is the biggest art-related mess-up yet. Bigger than Joe Mad drawing The Wasp as Caucasian, even.

This actually proves that Billy Tan didn't even bother to read the earlier issues of this iteration of the Ultimates.

I'll say this, Tan's drawing of the new Iron Man armor in #13 is a bit inconsistent, panel-to-panel.

Edit: I'll add that it's also very inconsistent here in the above preview images. Look how the shoulders change size. Bleh!

[SpeedofLife]

I don't care about the small details as long as the main idea is there.

But...these...these are clearly 616 War Machines.

Man, Chill brah. They are mass produced War Machine suits/ armor, for all we know they streamlined the process a bit and made them cheaper. For a small "foot soldier"/"cannon fodder" it doest seem like THAT big of a deal. *shrug*

I don't think that image from CBR is Ultimates #14 / Billy Tan, I mean it's quite different than the art in issue #13 and that preview image from iFanboy, The coloruing is different, the first image seems sketicher, etc.

There are a LOT of mistakes in Tan's stuff for Ultimate Marvel (Thor's shoulder-pads for starters...)

I'm starting to get a little burned out on all chaos, all the time UU too. I could use a smaller scale story even if it's just one or two issues.

[Codah]

I'm not burned out yet on the scope of the Ultimates but I think everyone is probably right about needing a quieter story after all this disaster is over.
