Congratulations to Jeph Loeb for almost singlehandedly dismantling the Ultimate Universe. Why Marvel allowed him to do half the stuff he did I have no clue.

Ugh, man that Thor/Hella stuff is just icky...

[stubbleupdate]

I can't read this, not having read the 4th Letter Ultimate edits

Their "Thor is Santa" joke didn't work that well, but it was otherwise fantastic. Helpful for coping, too.

Ugh. Jeph Loeb is the Greg Land of writers.

Hela wants to adopt Thor!

It's funny how Hela is dressed like that, but still feels the need to strip down to pose sexily.

[repto]

Also that she apparently has a sexy red bra underneath her black leather bustier.

[donnblake]

And under the sexy red bra is a pair of little skull pasties! And beneath the pasties, somehow... another black leather bustier?

Only now do you grasp the eternal torments of Hel! Bwahahahaha!

Am I the only one who thinks it hilarious that we get the 'Ultimate' Ka-zar and Shanna?

[roxas832]

I'm a little confused that amid the general Fran Cho-ness, they blocked Tony giving Carol the warbird.

This really is a bizarre and nonsensical pile of stuff, even by Jeph Loeb standards.

Zarda is still there, in the plot point Loeb started and only Loeb seemed to care about, and even he doesn't seem to care that much, given what happens at the end of this series.
There's still the inexplicable focus on Valkyrie.
Ka-Zar and Shanna are members of the Ultimates apparently, because... why? In a group supposed to be super-heroes, what do they bring to the team? And why are they considered super-celebrities?
There's the Defenders, who have gone from a bunch of pathetic nerdo losers to superpowered folks because Loki, who for no adequately explained reason now dresses like his regular self.
And Tony Stark and Carol Danvers are in a badly written "relationship" for no adequately explained reason.

Oh, and the plot turns into a version of the old Lady Liberators storyline, because of course it does.

Right now Logan wishes he was Thor with Hela.
