Ultimatum Edit Week 3: Day One
March 21st, 2009 by Gavok | Tags: blob, jeph loeb, magneto, Marvel comics, multiple man, mystique, sabretooth, scarlet witch, ultimate edit, ultimatumAh, nothing like a major company event taking a lengthy delay to let you stretch out your legs and enjoy your vacation. Time’s up, I’m afraid and it’s time to get back on the horse. Welcome to another week of Ultimatum Edit.
The first two weeks are here and here. If you need to go back even farther, just hit the Ultimate Edit like a good kid.
I’d explain what’s gone on previously, but I’ll just let the comic explain it for me.
Thanks to ManiacClown, who has returned once again to help me co-write this. Tomorrow we’ll get some explosive action with Multiple Man.
Day Two!
Day Three!
Day Four!
Day Five!
Day Six!
Day Seven!
…did you just sneak in a Butthole Surfers reference, or was that my imagination?
by Syrg March 21st, 2009 at 00:30 --replyProbably your imagination. Explain.
by Gavok March 21st, 2009 at 00:34 --replyI dunno. The bit about “My god, I-I’ve never seen anything like this” combined with Europe being wiped out reminded me of their song The Last Astronaut. Quiet tune with the random interjections of a man on a satellite, looking down as WWIII breaks out. There’s one bit that’s familiar to that.
by Syrg March 21st, 2009 at 01:04 --replyMy god. Loeb is truly where good comics go to die…
by LurkerWithout March 21st, 2009 at 01:48 --replyHaha, loved the Squid mention.
by Matt Ampersand March 21st, 2009 at 06:59 --replyThe “Fox News Report” had me laughing out loud.
And I don’t know what’s more disturbing: Rick Astley as a sign of an apocalypse, or that Wanda Maximov might be the next Sorceress Supreme. Doesn’t that position require, oh, say, a sanity test?

😀
Whenever really bad comics come out, I’m usually happy since guys like you make them readable. 🙂
Any chance of doing the “Ultimate Wolverine VS Hulk” mini-series? Issue 3 is just ripe for jokes. I liked your little slam for it on page one as well.
by MLD March 21st, 2009 at 10:24 --replyThat spread may very well be your finest work, including the page in Ultimates 3 where Stark references Achewood.
by AERose March 21st, 2009 at 16:22 --replyI would’ve stuck with the Rule of 3 for the incest jokes, but then again maybe you weren’t joking. I don’t know you.
by HitTheTargets March 21st, 2009 at 19:43 --replyHEYYY whats wrong with larry stroman?
by terrence March 22nd, 2009 at 00:10 --reply@terrence: Off the top of my head…
by Gavok March 22nd, 2009 at 00:43 --replyIf Bishop was supposed to look like that he’d have the most adorable mutation ever.
by HitTheTargets March 22nd, 2009 at 08:16 --replyOh my god, Bishop only has 4 fingers!
by Matt Ampersand March 22nd, 2009 at 13:06 --replyLarry Stroman’s art is intolerable. I couldn’t read any of his X-Factor issues. But since it was a She-Hulk crossover for Secret Invasion, something tells me I didn’t miss much.
