Ultimatum Edit Week 5: Day One
August 2nd, 2009 by Gavok | Tags: beast, colossus, cyclops, hawkeye, iron man, jean grey, jeph loeb, magneto, Marvel comics, nightcrawler, ultimate edit, ultimates, ultimatum, wolverine, x-menHere we are in the latter half of 2009. Finally, the five issue series they were hyping in 2007 — when they first started soliciting Ultimate Power #8 — is coming to a close. Through Ultimatum, we see the Ultimate line giving birth to the Ultimate Comics line, only it’s the kind of childbirth that horrifically kills the mother and gives us a baby caked in blood.
But where were we? Magneto attacked the entire world and now the surviving heroes are out to stop him. With one arm left, he stands defiantly before those who would slay him.
Thanks to ManiacClown for coming up with whatever it is Wolverine is ranting about. We’ll be back tomorrow to see Magneto’s rebuttal.
Day Two!
Day Three!
Day Four!
Day Five!
Day Six!
Day Seven!
Haha, awesome as always.

by LurkerWithout August 2nd, 2009 at 10:58 --reply…wait. Magneto mocked single-payer health care?
[pretend the next sentence is in allcaps] Stab him again, Logan!
by W4 August 2nd, 2009 at 11:24 --replyOnce again this helps alleviate the horrible, horrible pain. I’m not sure which annoyed me more – Magneto and Dr. Doom having nearly identical death scenes, or that page consists entirely of the words “eight days later”.
by Master Mahan August 2nd, 2009 at 17:39 --replyThere sure are a lot of heads being destroyed in this series. Heads being blown off, bit off, popped off, disintegrated, crushed, shot with bullets, arrows… lots of heads getting busted, left and right. Maybe Jeph just really has something against heads.
