message 1: by Jase (new)

Jase I used to read all the Ultimate stuff but fell behind. This is what I DO remember reading. So I will need to catch up from here. Here we go!

Ultimates - both volumes (1-13)
Ultimate X-Men - the whole series I read
Ultimate Spider-man (only the new Miles Morales stuff)
Ultimate FF - didn't read a bit of it.

What else, and how, should I read these. Any suggestions would be great.

Thanks!

Trike | 115 comments I highly recommend Ultimate Spider-man from the beginning. It's really spectacular. (Pun not intended.)

If you like that, definitely check out Ultimate Team-Up.

Ultimate FF has a strong start but gets messy pretty quickly. From what I've heard of the film reboot coming next year, this is what they're basing the story on. This was also the launching point for the whole Marvel Zombies thing.

The new Ultimate FF isn't doing it for me and the new Ultimates book is frankly terrible.

I really enjoyed Ultimate Galactus, which was followed by Ultimate Vision, which was decent. But then Warren Ellis did the former and Mark Millar was part of the latter, tempered by Mike Carey.

Ultimate Iron Man is awful. It was so bad that I believe it was retconned in-universe as the "movie version" of Tony Stark's life. I don't recall much about Ultimate Human except that I liked most of it other than the ending, which returned everything to the status quo, which the Ultimate universe mostly avoids.
