Ultimates as a universe should be approached with caution, certainly, but it is with a straight if slightly bemused face I can tell you Millar handles it all... pretty well. o_0 The characters are pretty brash updates, but there's some very nice moments, and Bryan Hitch's art is excellent. It's worth trying out the first Ultimates book to see if you like it - but if you go in expecting movie or 616 characterisation, you'll probably be disappointed. Warning, there's a graphic and lengthy scene of domestic violence in there, too.

Seriously, War Machine and Warbird! Meant to be.

Liv Tyler. If she can't be Betty Ross she would make an excellent Spider-Woman. (I wonder who owns her rights?) And then she and Carol can be besties.
