Though I have to admit, Linkara's right... the idea of Thor and Captain America facing off against an army of the dead for the soul of Valkyrie is indeed pretty freakin' metal!
Shame the rest of it fails so horribly.

Please tell me you will update this thread next week (or whenever he does part 2).
I.
I kinda wanna know how it ends....
Why yes. Yes, I will be updating the thread. 
Ultimatum #3-4
And you thought only the Silent Hill comics could so efficiently drive Linkara to madness...

Editorial is so weak these days. That's why we get crap like this and the Neal Adams looney tunes Batman.
The Alt Alphabet ~ OPC: Other People's Characters ~ Terrific Screenshots of Cool ~ Superhero Fiction
Marvel's the biggest offender editorially (so i've been told). the folks who actually do the editing are spending more of their time trying to hang out with the big name writers and artists than doing they're jobs, which some of them don't even want to be doing in the first place.
Someone needs to hit these people with a stick.
While we wait for the finale to the Ultimatum review, here's a treat! The Cinema Snob hunts down Linkara for his recent purchase of the Manimal comic! Only to discover that it doesn't have anything to do with the short-lived '80s TV show that he loves... and has more Nazis.

I don't think I've ever understood why the comics industry feels the need to have some sort of in-universe explanation every time they decide to hit the reset button on their universes. They should just tie up the major loose ends and start over. It's much simpler that way.
Goodbye, I guess.

Ultimatum was & wasn't a reset button. A lot of titles were canceled and rebooted. But it didn't start everything over from the origin point. Also the reason they dont perpetually end/restart whole universes are the fans, at least the fans who actually pay for the comics. The idea is to hold onto the old fans while bringing in new ones. Sure, you could intro entirely new lines, but thats too big a risk for some publishers to take. |

Also, this review needs more Manimal!
The pain begins here...
