    I mean every issue like 10 people die. So far ive got scarlet witch, dazzler, nightcrawler, wasp, quicksilver, proffessor x and like a million more. Are the writers just trying to destroy the ultimate universe?

    The only reason Ultimatum exists is to suck money out of our pockets. Nuff' Said.

    Loeb just hasn't been the same since his son died.  :(  Besides Fallen Son. 

    Plus Michael Turner was a good friend.

    It's true, and it's sad. However, knowing the reason why his writing sucks doesn't make the actual writing any better. Jeph, take some time off, come back in a couple of years. Or, just retire. You've earned it. But please. Don't drag the rest of us, and our beloved characters, down with you into your little "My world sucks, so will everyone else's" rut, here.

    That's sick.  If you have no concept of empathy, grief, loss or just getting on with your life then don't say rubbish like that.

    Ultimate Marvel was designed to part you with your money.  Retelling the origins of popular heroes is hardly original, and then afterwards it just spirals off into pointless stories that could have been told in the regular Marvel continuity.  Accept that not enough people were conned into buying it for the rest of their lives.  That it deserves to be cancelled.  And that it was more likely an editorial/management decision.  Don't blame the writer's personal life & losses for it.

    LOL.

    As for the Ultimatum stuff you're talking about, it is used to end the first chapter of the Ultimae Universe. It's like a new begining.

    I'm pretty sure it was meant to be the end of the UU but then Marvel decided there was still cash left to be flogged from the dead horse like a piñata
