I want to ask from your perspective, what makes Marvel Ultimate Universe so dissapointing from your end? For me, I get how everything needs to end, but the entire series don't really have engaging main characters because it switches and talks about background characters first

I was very worried that this would either feel like a cashgrab of be a pointless retelling. Thankfully, it was neither. I too apologize to you JMD, you still got it and this was amazing,

Finally read this. I still can't really wrap my head around on how I feel about this. Art is still amazing and Kelly's writing is solid. This comic wasn't really what I expected or wanted it to be, but it's also well done comic. So I would say it's pretty good?
I just wish Cormac is not the big bad teased for ASM #1000.

Once again, I really enjoyed an issue of Absolute Superman. It's the comic I look forward to reading the most every month. I loved this issue as always. Rafa Sandoval’s art, which is always solid, felt even better here. I liked the development for both Black Adam and Hawkman. And it’s always great to see Superman saving people, even in situations where the odds are completely stacked against him. more

While reading this, I just can't ignore this feeling. Of feeling nothing. This screams whatever to me and it's hard to enjoy anything this offers. No one is surprised it ends with an ass-pull deus ex machina because the first 4 issues did nothing to buildup to a resolution.
I don't know what happened with Campz. His Ultimates run was so good until this started.

It's just feels so rushed. Everything set up ending now feels so sudden and all the buildup they did for 2 years feels mostly pointless. Ultimate Wolverine did nothing in this. Ultimate Potential-Man is the biggest disappointment I have read since Spencer run ended. And how this ends is just non-sense. And the monthly skips really did this universe no justice.
