Two black men 3 women. I'm hoping it doesn't get canned.
I wish the book had Reed Richards instead of Blue Marvel tbh.
The retcon shyt with that character bothers me even more than Jessica Jones

Finished up World's End. Enjoyable story line and probably a better Darkseid story than his N52 debut. Just felt like a rushed ending tho. And them turning Apokolips in DC's Galactus
Explain in a spoiler please. My pc down so ill be out of the comic loop for 3 weeks
I hate Reed. Plus my mentor is friends with BM's creator so I support the brotha.
No thanks BM is dope.

Well WE finished months ago.
Basically Apokolips has to feed on other planets. Why? I don't know. Maybe to become richer. I don't remember if that's how the JL arc happened.

Yep. Blue Marvel is the definition of a Gary Stu.really?
He isn't even in the top 3 Marvel Superman clones IMO.

The Ultimates relaunch is one of the best books out since the ANAD Marvel Universe started in October because of the roster mainly.
Reed had DECADES to solve the Galactus problem, and T'Challa and Blue Marvel got it done in two issues

Bendis's style really lends itself to the post 2008 iron man. I'm loving the books so far.
I can't even say it's the old school iron man, he's the old school one. Younger. Just not focused on business stuff as much.
I'm glad marvel doesn't switch up physical appearance based on the flicks(minus some costumes...).

Ultimates #2 continues to impress. I think it was a great opening 2 issue arc to show what this team is capable of when they're all on the same page.
With that said... i think the juiciness of this book will hinge on them not being flawless. BP and BM are the pinnacle of black excellence but it's better if they clash with one another in ways that'll make you nervous of the fallout. Carol is supposed to be this blonde super pawg with attitude so some subtle attraction to one or both of the brehs would give some intrigue to build on. Chavez already comes with her own built-in trust issues but she prob needs a big bro/lil sis thing with BP where we can see her open up some. And Monica either gotta beef with Carol again or something so she doesn't get lost in the crowd.
Should be a little like the Justice League's big 7 where from the outside they seem flawless, well-oiled and unconquerable but internally we the fans see that they argue, squabble, lust, politic, etc... but just on a more grown man/woman stage.

So is darkseid like the planets Herald n shyt??
He's just him. Not much info given on why they did that. I'd recommend the series if you've read Earth 2. If you're a Darkseid fan, he's not in it a lot. He only makes appearances and is really only used more in the final 2-3 issues. His presence is felt throughout the series.
I'm surprised no one has discussed TMNT/Batman, let alone TDK3.
