I thought Ultimate Ben Grimm wasn't the Thing anymore and he'd hatched int osome kind of glowy purple dude in addition to marrying up with Sue Storm. Why's he his rocky old self here?
"Woooo! The Ultimate Universe is doomed! It's not even Loeb's terrible writing this time! Imma eat you all up with pickled gherkins and a giant tub of duck sauce! BOOGIE BOOGIE!"
One of the consequences of Age of Ultron was that the 616 Galactus was somehow ported from his home universe to the Ultimate universe. The precursor to this story was a four-issue mini called "Hunger," and one of the first things Galactus did was find the Gah Lak Tus swarm and the two entities merged, with the swarm effectively becoming his herald.
No, this is Galactus from the 616 universe who crossed over into the Ultimate Universe after the events of Age of Ultron created a rift between the two universes.
And this is why I hate Loeb. The Ultimate books, especially Spider-Man under Bendis and X-Men under Wood, have been pretty strong, easily as good as some of the main universe books. But because Loeb had to shit all over everything because he was in a bad place at the time, the books are forever tarnished with the image of the Blob (never having been depicted as a cannibal before that) eating the Wasp and other pointless deaths.
It makes people forget we had a pretty incredible Peter Parker run on USM from Bendis, BKV on X-Men, and strong books even after Ultimatum.
Ignore it down the road like all their event repercussions.
The Beyonder was more powerful than anything in the multiverse nope the higher powers were just playing guide for him.
The Age of Apocalypse was erased nope didn't happen.
The infinity gems can never ever be used again nope the Illuminati managed to screw up using them.
Mutants were erased across every alternate time line by WAnda nope didn't happen.
Frankly I give it five years before we see a What if issue where the Heroes don't solve this mess to reveal that all of this was just a segment of the multiverse acting wonky and that otherwise things were fine like always.
Not just her. Miles, Jessica,Bombshell and Cloak & Dagger took down Roxxon. But i don't think they are finished, since they just gave Miles his own hero team.
Is it so wrong that I really hope Galactus wins this one? While there is a few decent characters in the Ultimate, the universe itself has been fairly crappy.
I think that's actually how it's going to turn out. And I just think it's fascinating. I would miss some ultimate characters, but I almost find it kind of beautiful to end an entire universe with galactus.

Sounds like they're not finished-finished, but I think they should be soon. That plotline's gone on long enough.
