I think it's pretty okay so far. I didn't read the "avengers" before Ultimatum but it's definitely more appealing now. I never knew much about Ghost Rider or Red Skull before the ultimate take on the characters but I think they're pretty damn good, especially Red Skull's origin.
I can't wait until we find out what's with that evil Spider-Man they keep locked up. I'll keep reading for that.
I thought it looked pretty kick-ass. They need to bring it to a more rugged realistic setting with this Spidey remake, not a glorified billion dollar budgeted look. Otherwise it just looks too fantastic, you know? I'd like to see Garfield's audition tape.
I understand that in comics, time goes by slowly but it's not a bad thing for characters to age. You get to grow up with the character and experience some of the things life and sometimes villians throw at you. That's why Spider-Man was so unique because he was probably the only character who aged naturally. Before they did the reboot, the dude was close to forty. And they even kept it going with Spider-Girl. You still see Peter Parker today as the dad and witness his daughter grow up. They need to do the same things with other comics. That's why I don't touch DC as often because their characters never age ever. It's not as dramatic or realistic as far as comics go when characters don't have to face mortality. I absolutely hate seeing superman after all this time looking like he's still 25 years old. I know to age them, eventually they have to die or create something new. Good! Rise to the challenge, comics! Give us something new. That's why alternative timelines like Old Man Logan and Kingdom Come are so awesome because we've never seen characters as timeless be put in a setting where time has moved on without them. And that's what comics need to do. We need to get to a point B, here. I've been reading Ultimate Spider-Man since I was in middle school. I'm about to graduate college and he's still sixteen! In a sense, I'm more powerful than he is because I've gotten to grow up. Give more power to these characters. Let them grow. I want to be able to grow with these characters.
A lot of the time it seems that they don't have a choice. Superman had to change because the suit stabilized his new powers. Spidey did the change because of the Secret War. Other times, heroes change because of what's going on in their lives at the time. Daredevil keeps changing because the dude's simply nuts.
