COMICS: Plenty Of Epic Widescreen Action In Bryan Hitch's JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA

LOVED The Ultimates... This will be the first comic I've purchased in a long time.

Man, those 1st few pages...
THAT is a Comic Book

I'll admit that artwork is pretty good.

ONLY 2 HOURS LEFT #1, #98, #100 of The New Mutants!

Bryan Hitch is a poor man's Paul Levitz.

My hand is the poor man's girlfriend, but that's okay because it's very affordable and it doesn't talk unless you want me to make it talk.

does in not matter anymore because of convergence?

Bingo.

@levitikuz

Just because you ignore it doesn't mean it's not true. Just like your high cholesterol.

@WinterSoldier22

They both have screwed with the statis quo so much it's hard to care. Between mega-universe changing crossover events that SEEM to happen every other month and DC reboots and/or whatever it is that Marvel's doing right now – call it Linear Reassignment – it's real hard to invest oneself in the events of their lives when you know you'll blink and it will all change again.

good god that picture is disturbing.

When the last two issues of his previous series come out I'll consider picking this up. We're going on 7 months since issue 4 at this point. But I'm sure every issue of this (likely only 6 issue arc) wil all come out on time.

The Ultimate Universe didn't work?
Somebody should tell that to Joss Whedon's bank account.

I'm with the dude. Love Hitch and this will probably be the first comic I've bought since before Supes and WW hooked up.

@ Mandeth:

You clearly haven't seen what DC has been doing as of late. The time it took you to write that biased, obsolete commentary, is time you could've taken to research DC's latest output, most of which fits exactly what you've been calling for, but probably won't read anyway.

And DC has always been an alternative to Marvel. People wanna let Marvel evolve, but wanna see DC remain stuck in the 50's. As if that's gonna help DC grow. The reality is, you & complainers like you don't have a clue what will work for DC. You complain about DC appealing to 12-18 year olds, as well as middle aged folk.... So by your logic, DC isn't for you, no matter what type of product they produce. So what does it matter what they do?

It just sounds like you're a DC hater for no reason at all.

@OldSchoolGeek
Everything is great with all comics published by both houses and all the CBMs are an amazing blessing not to be discussed.
Please read no further.

Please let me know what you are referring to when you say, "Ultimate Universe lifted sales for the entire industry for several years."
I must be missing something. I'm sure you must have had a different experience where you saw the alternate-ultimate books flying (yes flying compared to the other titles) off the shelves. The place where I shopped only ordered between 8 to 10 copies of it's best selling Ultimate Spidey book - and you could always get one of them a month and a half later. Now, you COULD accuse me of making stuff up, but it's backed up by the sales figures.
During the years marked below, I'm showing you the two highest ranking Ultimate comic books sold that year. For instance, during 2003 Ultimate FF #1 was the third best selling title that year. The next best selling ultimate title during 2003 came in at the nineteenth position. It was Ultimate Six #1

2003 #3 Ultimate Fantastic Four #1 and then #19 Ultimate Six #1
2005 #24 Ultimate Iron Man and then and then #49 Ultimates-2 #2
2007 #36 Ultimates-3 #1 and then #79 Ultimate Spider-Man #104
2008 #12 Ultimate Origins #1 and then #24 Ultimates-3 #2
2010 #92 Ultimate Comics New Ultimates #1 and then #120 Ultimate Comics X #1
2012 #395 Ultimate Comics Spider-Man #6 and then #455 Ultimate Comics Spider-Man #8
2013 #543 Cataclysm Ultimates Last Stand

Now there is NO WAY you can look at these numbers and tell me that the ultimate line was the back bone of the industry . . . EVER.

Now to rabid's point – yes, while I wish it weren't so, the ultimate universe does translate to the big screen without the need for as much imagination, skill, and cleverness is needed for the 616 universe, and therefore is more attractive to producers. Just like it's a lot easier to sell the public on Tony Stark as creator of Ultron, rather than trying to explain how there are more than one brilliant scientists in the MCU capable of such a feat. It fits more readily into the path they've chosen to go down.
