    Oooh, Ulitmate Professor X is a jerk too

    Professor X just never gets a break.  He's always being portrayed as doing things of a jerky nature.  He has to be like the sleaziest guy around.  It's amazing that he gets any respect.  Guess he can always alter people's minds to think of him as a charming fellow.

    The great thing about the Ultimate universe is you never know what's going to happen.  I like that.  Sure there's been some things I wasn't too crazy about.  This recent "Absolute Power" storyline brought Ultimate X-Men back up towards the top of my reading list.  The concept of the Banshee drug and that it was derived from Wolverine has been interesting.  Check out the preview page with Professor X using it.  This also ties into the recent Ultimate Origins.  That's a nice touch.  There's even mention of Ultimate Wolverine Vs Hulk.  We are supposed to be seeing that soon.

    I wonder what is going to happen to Colossus after this issue.  Things don't look too good for him.  The other X-Men will have to deal with the possible addiction to Banshee.  Surprisingly we even get a confirmation on who Colossus' supplier is. 

    I'm not sure what the next arc will be but I like where Ultimate X-Men is going right now.  Aron E. Coleite and Mark Brooks have been refreshing.

      Retcon this trash at the first opportunity 0

      The time has come to assess the damage that Aron Coleite has done in just four issues of Ultimate X-Men.  He has transformed a series that was designed to be a refreshing break from the continuity-laden drama and plot-of-the-week pulpiness of the mainstream Marvel Universe into just another cheap, spastically plotted X-book.  Colossus and Northstar, who began his run as a strong and assertive gay couple with a bright future ahead of them, have been reduced to a pair of degenerate cripples.  The ...
