I loved Streets of Gotham. I thought that was all Dini.

While Dini does appear to be God, all bow to Paul Dini, he does not in fact write everything. The Suicide Squad desperately needs him on staff though.

Well that was weird: I just scanned my phone's camera over my comic and it animated the panel into one showing Scarlet Witch shattering Namor's face....The Future is Now!

He's done well for a man whose professional writing career began (like J. Michael Straczynski's) with writing scripts for He-Man cartoons... it could be more embarrassing, of course; Neil Gaiman's early paid work included writing for Penthouse magazine, and ghost-writing a biography of Duran Duran.

I love all his DC work, but I still can't believe he's one of the people behind the Ultimate Spider-Man cartoon.

I do love Young Justice, but... damn!
I've been offline for a few days. Are there any news in regarding the Marvel and Fox deal. Looks like Fox can't get their Daredevil reboot of the ground in time, but Marvel offered that they could keep the rights in exchange for characters from the Fantastic Four.
Read the first Red Lanterns TPB. Atrocitus is kind of an interesting character, but the rest of his "team" not so much...

OK - I read 1 through 4 and I have to admit... I like it!
Like so many comics today, it reads fast, but it is a fun ride.
A cliched beginning does lead to a pretty cool explanation behind "Ultimate Mysterio" (Mysterio has always been a favorite Spidey villain of mine!)... and it is a 5 issue series!
Now I'm stuck waiting for the finale!

Picked up The Killing Joke on sale and read it for the first time. It's ok, I guess I was expecting more. It was weird to see Batman laugh....

First TPB of Ultimate Comics: X-Men was pretty good. Not a big fan of the new Wolverine (how did he get metal on his claws?), but I love how this is basically what's left of Peter Parker's super hero family. Stryker was a good villian too.

Apparently he has Colossus' ability to generate metal but only on his bones. You should check out the new Ultimates too. I never liked it before but post-Ultimatum it one of the comics I look forward too the most now.
Ultimate America is pretty messed up right now. It's disintegrating and Texas has finally seceeded from the Union!

The Ultimates 'Earth' kind of suffers from being so divergent from "our"/"616" Earth - it is severely f'ed up!
On one hand, I kind of like it because of that.
On the other hand, there's a certain "they are going to have to blow it all up/restart it" vibe going on in there too...

Really? I don't get that vibe. Hopefully not.
Actually, you could argue that's what Utimatum was. A while ago when Peter Parker was killed I posted about how it was a good thing because it's now broken all resemblances with the main universe. Which it needed because it was no longer a fresh universe. I think they've found their niche now and the only thing that can blow it up again it poor sales.

Yeah, I've read some of the new ultimates stuff. I actually wanted some recomendations on the rest of the ultimate stuff. Is ultimate X and Hawkeye any good?

@anung Yes, Ultimate X is good but I think you're going backwards. It's what evolves into Ultimate X-Men. Their current plan is to keep the universe tight and there's only three titles: X-Men, Spider-Man and Ultimates. Don't know much about this Hawkeye mini-series. Usually not a big Hawkeye fan so maybe I'll wait until someone else gives a review.
Have you heard of the Ultimate Doomsday trilogy? http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultimate_Comics:_Doomsday#_ Definately highlights how divergent the Ultimateverse has become.
Caught up in my Spider-Men. Pretty much has your standard issue crossover plot but issue 4 had some touching moments. It's a world where Peter Parker died and Gwen Stacey lived and that's pretty weird when you think about it.

That's it! I was thinking about picking up Ultimate Doom, if only for the fact that it still has Peter Parker in it.

Did anyone read Avengelyne while it was out? Its been rebooted as a webcomic. Seriously OTT, has decent art at times, terrible plot, stripperiffic costumes, and somehow still managed to jump the shark. Yes, it hit a point where there was a dramatic decrease in quality.
It looked promising for the first 3-4 pages.
