I love Ultimates. Ultimates is why I am in this fandom. Seriously Elly was all YAY Tony/Steve and I was all yeah okay, but I'm with the ToS BSG, and then we were watching the extras on Ultimate Avengers I and they showed the Ultiamtes comic and I was all OMG WHAT IS THAT AWESOME! And bought it and I got back into comics hard core thanks to the awesome that was Mark Miller and Brian Hitch on Ultimates.
And I'm typically an old school kinda person (witness but Tos BSg and Tos Trek love) but, you can't convince me this is the darker eviler canon. Not with 616 canon currently called Dark Reign, Steve being dead, Tony being stupid, and Jan being dead, and Hank being crazy and OMG GAH.
So umm yes Ultimates just never seemed darker or meaner to me than 616, it just seemed less confusing and more realistic in a good way. I mean god knows I love normal U, but it is convoluted as all get go and I appreciated the clean slate start and where they went with it.
I'm not as big on Ultiamtes 3 but Marvel's gotta fuck it up somewhere, it's a rule. Granted it does make up half of our Big Bang.
I'm pretty excited about the new canon. I was worried Ultimatum would end Ultiamtes, so to get new stuff, and new stuff with a Steve focus, well, it made my week.
HAPPY DANCE
