Has anyone else read it? Written by Loeb? I thought it was just dreadful. I kept whining for five years that I wished my beloved Black Panther would appear in the Ultimate world but I am now reminded of that old addage "Careful what you ask for."

I like some stuff Loeb has done in the 616-Universe, but he has ruined the Ultimate universe for me. Did any editors even read his Ultimate-crap before it went to print??? I hope Millar can bring the Ultimates back from this dreck.

I'm with you, Starry. I just read another Loeb Ultimate book (too lazy to go look which one) and Loeb has Valkyrie bragging to Thor about how great she is "in bed, verily."
Is it just me, or is this guy Loeb really creepy? I feel like taking a shower after reading several of his books. I could see if this guy was 17 writing this kind of sexual comic crap, but he looks 40 something. Is he trolling for Boy Scouts or what?
Millar, conversely, touched on certain sexual aspects of the Ultimates (particularly the flirtation between the Scarlet Witch and the Vision) but it was more like he was showing how weird that whole romance really would have been in the real world. I thought it was brilliant.
