Yesterday, Wolverine jumped at Magneto and started clawing at him while defending Canadian health care. That’s about it, sorry to say. Let’s keep it going.
ManiacClown and I will be back tomorrow to watch the tag team match of Hulk and Colossus vs. Sabretooth and Mystique. Wait. Is that actually supposed to be a challenge?
Day Three!
Day Four!
Day Five!
Day Six!
Day Seven!
Piotr really doesn’t have very much to do in his spare time, huh?
Finch’s expressions are so ferocious they’re terrible. I can’t really envision him succeeding on anything except a High Evolutionary/New Men series set in a grungy 90s world.

by Matt Ampersand August 3rd, 2009 at 02:22 --replyIf that guy in page four eats a sandwich every time someone dies messily, he’s going to become the next Blob.
Gavok, you and ManiacClown are to be commended. Keep up the good work.
by W4 August 3rd, 2009 at 04:07 --replyJeph Loeb’s Magneto!! Not only does he know how to magnetically override Iron Man’s electronic circuits but he also makes Cyclops completely forget that he could close his eyes.

May want to fix that guys. (Although it does fit the overall quality of Ultimatum.)
by Endless Mike August 3rd, 2009 at 05:56 --replyI have often found that if I get a big enough magnet (like from a really big speaker), it just blasts away someones fucking body. It happens in Deathklok all the time.
Also, the emotion that comes off of everybody in that last panel is staggering.
by Adam August 3rd, 2009 at 07:22 --replyLook at Storm’s mouth in that panel. Look at it! That is not a female mouth let alone is that how it would open and fuh fuh fuh fuh fuh
by Jordan August 3rd, 2009 at 08:15 --reply@Endless Mike: Fixed. Thanks for the heads up.
by Gavok August 3rd, 2009 at 09:22 --replyI never get tired of that Collosus pic
by Nathan August 3rd, 2009 at 13:51 --replyOkay, Cyclops? CLOSE YOUR EYES. And, Hawkeye? Shooting Cyclops’ visor off does not de-activate his eye beams. In fact, it makes them, if anything, MORE activated. Both of these guys seem to want the eye beams to stop, and both of them are doing things which should produce the opposite reaction. But I forget, Loeb’s writing, so it works out. Except for Wolverine being blasted to Canadian bacon. Rrgh, God, this series is actually beneath sarcasm!
by Joe England August 3rd, 2009 at 14:19 --replyCOMBO! Repulsor X-Blast!
Thank you for the X-Men: Legends reference! I played that game so much, so the COMBO! sounded wonderful to me.
by Kevin Tam August 3rd, 2009 at 15:49 --replyThere’s one good thing this series doesn’t really have much emotion in the characters: leff Finch drawing sad/surprised faces. Seriously, ugh.
by Olivier August 3rd, 2009 at 19:50 --replyThe only really REALLY good thing about this is the fact that if Wolverine is dead, then they must be heading to some kind of reboot, yes? I mean, Marvel, even the Ultimate version, can’t exist without a Wolverine in it to make some money.
