Ultimatum Edit Week 1: Day Two
November 8th, 2008 by Gavok | Tags: angel, beast, dazzler, invisible woman, jeph loeb, Marvel comics, nightcrawler, reed richards, spider-man, thor, ultimate edit, ultimatum, valkyrie, x-menYesterday was literally the calm before the storm, as we got to briefly check in with the Fantastic Four, the Ultimates, as well as Spider-Man and his amazing friends. You know, that’s pretty rare for a Loeb comic. We got FIVE single pages without the sudden, blatant two-page spread. It’s a start.
Now let’s push forward.
Huh. I didn’t intend this, but if you look at those thumbnails, it looks like Thor has suddenly transformed into a big, bald guy.
Thanks to ManiacClown. The second page was more or less his baby. Now it’s stuck in my head.
Tomorrow it’s time for the tragedy to begin. I mean tragedy in terms of the story. I mean… You know what I mean!
Day Three!
Day Four!
Day Five!
Day Six!
Day Seven!
Splash page. Just… damn.
Also I hope the edit won’t cut into your writing time for We Care A Lot.

Also – “The Mutant Age has now begun!” Holy shit, yes. I love that. And is it really, “Here is the day”? Because I always heard it as “[inaudible] the day”.

@Bass: I had to listen to it a few times to get a good grasp on what it was. The internet claims that it’s “Saves the day!”, but that doesn’t sound like it at all.

The part about the sad piano music really made me laugh! I love that song, and used to watch the TV Hulk series as a kid.
The joke about breathing underwater…priceless.
Oh, and the Costner joke, perfect. 🙂

In the actual comic Dazzler says: “Oh yeah, I’ve pierced myself all over my body because I’m having a love fest with myself.” How can you not make fun of that!? That’s funnier and weirder (as worst dialogue ever) than the dialogue you wrote in!
