quicksilver


this was originally going to be a lengthy gripe about how much i hated issue one of jeph loeb and joe madueriera's "ultimates 3." after writing the first draft, it seemed way too geeky, pointless and long. so here it is in a nutshell:

2 years in the making, this version of the ultimates, with jeph loeb's incestual overtones, disinterested captain america and punisher-esque hawkeye coupled with joe mad's dynamic, yet frustratingly over-colored and under-sharpened art doesn't even begin to stack up with the remarkable run that mark millar and bryan hitch produced over the series' first 25 issues.

there. i know it still sounds terribly nerdy, but that's a succinctly as i can put it. anyway, here's a minibust of the classic quicksilver that i finished just as '07 came to a close. no, not the sister-loving quicksilver that jeph loeb has just...awww damn, there i go again. i'd better quit before i get rolling again.

Nice Quicksilver.

And I agree: the new Ultimates series is, after only one issue, probably the most disappointing comic I have read in years. Everything about it was a bad decision. Ugh.

coming from a guy who never read ultimates series one or two i have to say i was a little perplexed while reading ultimates 3.

when did hawkeye turn into charles bronson dressed like a cyborg??

why the hell is there a subplot about a brother and sister boning???

with a subplot like that, a tony stark sex tape and cap being all motherly it did read a lot a bad soap opera!

i bought it only for the MAD! art(AWESOME COVER at least!) which i found to be too dark...kinda like when you're watching a cheesy action movie sequence that's lit terribly with shaky camera movement... but i blame the colorist for that.

but i did read mark millar's wolverine: enemy of the state, which i thought was GREAT!!

you're quicksilver's cool too!
