New Ultimates #1 - edited by 4th Letter

[stubbleupdate]

4th letter have been doing their own version of Loeb's Ultimate books, just as Mightygodking did with Civil War.

Without further ado, apart from a warning that this is by Frank Cho, so, you know, tits.

The Thor and Hela stuff is the most interesting

IN. YOUR. END. O


And there's some stuff with Tony Stark and Col. Carol Danvers



AND, for superlegality, from Mighty Chovengers #1 (aka the best Avengers story in a long time), more of Tony and Carol choosing their team.

Jesus christ please tell me that isn't Loki

[sir_razorback]

I could tell you that, but how do you know Loki isn't actually posting on my account right now, and lying to you to make you feel safe, warm, and cuddly?

[01d55]

IIRC it's ultimate Hela.

[kenn_el]

Should've been Ultimate Hella!

[halloweenjack]

Ultimately, she's a brick... house.

[colonel_green]

They managed to take that chimney metaphor remarkably far.

[stubbleupdate]

[Insert joke about depth of penetration]

[halloweenjack]

What I want to know is, where does layin' a finger aside of his nose fit into it?

(hurr hurr, I said "fit into it")

[equinox216]

Blonds have bad aim, to boot?

[cmdr_zoom]

And so it came to pass that Thor, Odinson, would sit upon the throne of Claus and wear the crown of Christmas upon a troubled brow.

[crinos]

Eventually, he became a kringle by his own hand, and this tale shall too be told!

[icon_uk]

"Rudolph stood alone at Gjallerbru, and that answer is enough"

[aaron_bourque]

Page 2 panel 2: Yeah, I know exactly what you mean, there.

[khamelea]

The axe hammer design IS leagues better!

[badficwriter]

You're mad!

[okkult3000]

YOU LIE!

"I want to marry a Cho girl"

[freezer]

Yeah, but then when your buds ask what she's like, once you get past "she's hot", you'll be going "Um..." a lot.

Re: "I want to marry a Cho girl"

[darkblade]

Thats why you pair Cho up with a good writer to create your wife?

Re: "I want to marry a Cho girl"

[freezer]

Excellent point.

[nezchan]

Good heavens, as funny as the edits are, you can really see just how horrifying this book was. I'd expected bad, but not this bad, even knowing about the Janet scene.

[neuhallidae]

Someone storytimed all of Ultimatum on /co/ a few weeks back, and the near universal response from those with enough trainwreck syndrome to read was "Oh, God, why?!"

[filkertom]

Okay, the Cho art is of course fantastic, but... how many times are they going to reboot the reboots?

[jlroberson]

I think they go about it as I do with my own boots. In that I put them on fresh each day, though this does not disguise I've needed to buy a new pair for a while.

[cmdr_zoom]

Ultimate: the line for short attention spans!

[zordboy]

But why is her hair duct-taped over her nipples?

[darkblade]

Asgardian Duct-Tape even.

[iondan]

If this was IRL she would've needed tape to pull off that outfit. Tape is sometimes used to keep wardrobe malfunctions from happening, or so I've read in the gossip rags.

[joysweeper]

Or spirit gum.

[jlroberson]

I like this version better.

[proteus_lives]

I saw your warning as: "It's by Frank Cho. Yah, tits!"

[bruinsfan]

Gee, Hela, a mythological figure associated with frost, infirmity, and withering is re-imagined as a voluptuous satanic Hawaiian Tropic girl. How breathtakingly original and refreshing.

[greenmask]

It's quite admirable, isn't it.

[joysweeper]

"Let's pretend it's Detroit instead" made me smile.

[jlroberson]

God damn you, I ended up wasting my whole Sunday evening reading all of these.

Quite brilliant work. And something Marvel sometimes did itself in CRAZY(anyone have scans of their Dark Phoenix rewrite?), so fair game. And MUCH more interesting than the original.

Still. Goddamn you. ;)
