When you say Ultimate and Absolute seem to be all we care about, won't lie, it's pretty true for me. Mostly because they're all fresh starts and great jumping on points for new fans, as well as those of us who either fell off the main stuff a while ago or are just looking for something new.
In terms of absolute: Batman I don't care about at all (it's just not for me, which is fine), Superman I'm still undecided I need more time with that, only thing I currently actually care about in absolute is Wonder Woman, because - to quote Nightcrawler - "OH, MEIN GOTT!", is she an absolute god damned badass and I love every single panel of it 😂 Now DC just has to make her the lesbian bondage Dom that she was always meant to be :3
@@lori-EL it’s weird, because Wonder Woman has the most drastically changed story, as far as who and how she was raised, with a very different origin, that isn’t just a slight variation on the original. I liked those first books more than the Superman one, and though I was surprised by the Batman books, with their quality being much better than I anticipated; the WW books have the most potential of what we’ve gotten so far.
I feel kitty is just good because of plot armor. When she used her power she usually dont go trought the ground meaning she keeps her feet stable so she could just get shot in her feet/legs to get her down
It’s crazy that you didn’t even mention the last page of prose. I think that written speech by Nightcrawler added so much to who Logan was. He says how much he would miss him and the friendship they had and that he would always remember the name that he had given him: Elf. To me this says everything we need to know about who Logan was. He was basically the same Logan we all know and love from the main 616 universe. Knowing this makes Nightcrawler’s death truly impactful, not just some edgy throwaway. I also think Wolverine could have been familiar with the scent of Nightcrawler’s blood at the end there, perhaps giving him some idea of who he really just killed: a dear friend. Anybody else have similar thoughts?
@jerwwilliams Well, yes. I was telling my brother about the Maker the other day and just how... Edgy the original universe was, save for Spider-Man. Great ideas, but Mark Millar and Jeph Loeb went too far, imo.
One of the more recent synopsis regarding wolverine's memory issues was very clever. The body cannot tell the difference between physical pain and mental pain and his healing ability has been erasing memories which cause him pain, anguish, sadness, sorrow etc. This didn't refute the previous idea regarding different groups messing with his mind but rather added more context. It also mused that the addition of metal coating on his bones damping down his healing ability added additional complexity to the situation.
Ultimate X-Men Is so underrated, a comic for comic lovers, all the people I know IRL love it so I'm always shocked at how negative the comments online are!
THAT'S AWESOME, to hear that uxm actually getting love, unlike what the online space telling themselves that this book is not selling well and wishing for peach momoko to leave the ultimate title, which it's insane and diabolical. Like I always said to myself, these so-called x-men fans are hypocrites showing their true colors, bringing hate to a unique take that ms momoko actually bring live again to the ultimate x-men title but x-men as a whole. All these people care about seeing popular x-men characters, not the deeper themes about x-men. That peach momoko actually bringing to the table, that they ignoring but focus on the surface level stuff.
@@TyresseLittle As someone that quite honestly does NOT care about this Ultimate Wolverine stuff like literally everyone else on this planet does ig, I fully agree with you. Ppl want new things, get it, complain, then call something that is more of a rehash of an idea “fresh” 😭
@@TyresseLittle The people who are saying that Peach needs to leave the book are just hating on it. She's been doing an absolutely wonderful job and I've been enjoying every issue since last year. I'm looking forward to #11!
This ultimate wolverine is dope as hell! I honestly thought it was Bucky before this, but I’m glad to see the 5’3 angry Canadian aka Logan as winter soldier, also.. hopefully this Logan gets a chance of keeping his adimantium and not getting it ripped out
You nailed it with saying people are rly only interested in the absolute and ultimate universe. Even all of my friends i talk to are only focused on these narratives. Really compelling stories
"Wolverine starts killing the X Men" what if he like... kills everyone because of Mysterio tricking him to do it... and then we get like a post apocalyptic world where we have a older version of Logan...
Tony Stark died, the Ultimates got rolled by Hulk's Domain Expansion, and now Night Crawler is dead. That's it. Make Jeff a giant kaiju shark and destroy everything. This universe is cooked.
@@dj__alienyeah but the beginning of the ultimate universe teases that either him or his father are Kang (plus the fact that he is Iron Lad). No way Tony stays dead.
I had a thought while watching the video. What if Ultimate Wolverine was once a member of the Invaders alongside Captain America and the Human Torch. So that when they eventually meet Cap can have the same revelation as in the Marvel Universe with Bucky
Maybe fans need a fresh start because for decades now, the standard Marvel fare is to take existing characters and just create mashups... Hulk versions of characters, symbiote versions, gem of Cytorak versions, herald of galactus versions, etc. One of the reasons the MCU was so exciting and worth sticking around for, is because from the outset, you know these characters and stories and sagas have a time limit in movie form, they can't keep regurgitating them forever. We got the best Cap and best Iron Man because they FINISHED, they got great endings. In the comics, a popular character will never die or come to and end unless they plan on bringing them right back 3-6 months later.
Hot damn I'm just like everyone else. Loving the Ultimate and Absolute universes right now! The only thing better than reading the comics is listening to Rob's recap and giving thumb ups to all the awesome comments. Love and respect everyone!
As far as I know, concerning Black Widow, she was trained and trained together by and with Bucky when he was brainwashed to become The Winter Soldier. I can't remember the comic. But, correct me if I'm wrong, it was written by Ed Brubaker? The story about Wolverine and Black Widow (Romanov) that I remember was that the art was done by Jim Lee. And the story had Cap, Wolverine, and Black Widow.
Rob, that scene where he jumps out is originally a reference to Ultimates Volume 2 in the original Ultimate Marvel. The soldiers are talking about him at the start of the comic half joking half impressed. One of them makes fun of him for having no parachute and then since its old Ultimate Cap (kind of an ass).. One soldier says: "Didn't you hear? Cap says parachutes are for girls." Then he jumps out.
The scene with the soldiers not really knowing anything about Wolverine and him jumping out without a parachute, is very similar to the one in the animated movie Hulk vs Wolverine.
Rob: spends months telling us about how awesome the ultimate and absolute universes are. Also Rob: all you guys want is the ultimate and absolute universes 😂😂
honestly interested in seeing how wolverine will handle being the reason some of his friends will die and how they plan on going through his character arc
I like the work that Peach Momoko has put out with the Ultimate X-Men title but I kind of wish that it had a different title that hinted at being connected to mutants but not X-Men.
People always talk about Spider mans spider sense, however ,wolverine is a highly skilled trained fighter has something called fighters sense. If you fight against him long enough, he will read the patterns in your fight style, and coupled with enhanced senses, he will be able to accuratly predict your next move. How dangerous he his.
Feel like they should have used some C-listers here instead of Nightcrawler and Mystique, for an entire new universe projected to run for years, killing two incredibly iconic characters like that on a whim seems really shortsighted.
I loved blood hunt because blade is my favorite super hero but apparently no one else did :(. Currently, though you are correct I enjoy those but I have really been enjoying the hulks run as well as thors run in the main continuity magni coming back was sick and I cant wait to see how much stronger they both get.
The reason why he actually forgets is that his healing factor heals mental scars. Which is also explained on Wolverine Origins. :D But I do not know if every writer remembers this or cares. lol
All I care about is Ultimate and Absolute. I loved New 52 and Absolute feels like New 52 point 2.0 just slightly Darker. And I loved OG Ultimate universe, now they hittin the ground running this time.
Let's be real, Ultimate universe and Absolute universe are the best two parts of the big two atm. Marvels done a great job of running spiderman into the ground something i thought impossible yet here we are.
@justsomeguy-le5sc I second that I don't like uxm(2024) being ignored. This ultimate book is a hidden gem that is doing bold ideas. That makes the book super stand at, especially the art by ms.momoko, but I feel like rob is waiting for the big climax to the second storyline with children of the atom cult members are about to wreak chaos throughout japan.
I don’t even know if I even LIKE THIS Version of the Ultimate Wolverine here. Even though this variant happens to be a blend of the Winter Soldier and Nightwing with the way that he looks and all!
haven't read wolverine in a long time, but does his healing factor affect his memory? too much tampering and his mind trying to healing itself? scar tissue? dunno?

I didn't vibe with the original ultimate run but after krakoa I'm really into this new iteration
In terms of absolute: Batman I don't care about at all (it's just not for me, which is fine), Superman I'm still undecided I need more time with that, only thing I currently actually care about in absolute is Wonder Woman, because - to quote Nightcrawler - "OH, MEIN GOTT!", is she an absolute god damned badass and I love every single panel of it 😂
Now DC just has to make her the lesbian bondage Dom that she was always meant to be :3
The advantage of not being tied by status quo and allowing freedom outside of the main continuity
not to mention the stories themselves and concepts are also just really good on their own, theres great writing in all of these all around

Ultimate wolverine's fit is supreme. Most fire suit hes had since that Phoenix event
Anything set in the Ultimate Universe or written by Jonathan Hickman is a banger.

this red and black uniform is very beautiful

Healing factor effects his memory. He blots out trauma but also fights mental control and conditioning
