Wasn't the Ultimate Universe where everyone but Spider-Man and his supporting cast was a jerk?

Yeah, the Ultimate Universe was a garbage pit solely supported by the quality of Ultimate Spider-Man.

Hey, Warren Ellis's books were good and fun.

The first arcs of X-Men and The Ultimates were pretty good, too, I felt.

Bwahahahahaha!!!!!!! [lol]

Oh my God, the end of the new issue of Deadpool killed me. After a shitty day, Wade finally found out Werewolf by Night is sleeping with wife & fucking shot the D-bags head off!!!

Fucking epic. Especially right after Shiklah arrogantly stated Wade won't do shit. At least something went right for Wade.

@Wolf Matt Grey except the heroes of Earth have out smarted people from other world's several times. So I have no problem believing the smartest person in the universe is from Earth.

Several aliens species have said Reed Richards is one of the smartest people in the universe after all.

[up]Not really, Wade killing someone in cold blood, especially someone who usually portrayed as a hero, kinda proves what the others were saying about him during the issue.

Oh... goddamn it. I knew, I had always known that marriage would go sour at SOME point(Marvel is Marvel after all), but damn this is dumb.

It's Cullen Bunn, so it might be an X-title (Magneto Unleashed?), but then again, "MU" has pretty much stood for the Marvel Universe, so maybe not.

Or it's about nothing.

Well something had to be the tipping point to Wade's marriage. Shiklah has been dissatisfied for a long while & this will force a confrontation out of her instead of just being a passive aggressive bitch as they say.

Also fuck Werewolf. Sleeping with a guy who once saved you from Dracula's mind-control, what a hero I say sarcastically. As well as being a complete & utter fucking moron for sleeping with the wife of an infamous maniac who's complete instability is common knowledge. Having his brans splattered is the only logical solution & punishment.

I think he was in a solicit for Moon Knight, so he'll probably be fiiiiine.

And things at least still seem dandy in spin-offs like Too Soon.

Marvel reboot.
Everybody always thinks this, but it never happens. Marvel's never done a universal reboot — even Secret Wars was a relaunch with a few scattered changes.

What exactly was Shiklah so dissatisfied about in her marriage?

Well hopefully its something interesting. Besides I believe Bunn is a decent writer so it should be passable.

Also I'm confused as to why Preston is so pissed with Wade this time. Sure he got into another mess again & caused a good amount of property damage but it wasn't that bad & arguably the Mercs are just as responsible for all the damage too. Compared to all his other shit it seems like a regular Tuesday.

[up] Wade's newfound fame & decision to enter entrepreneurial-ship caused him to be away a lot more & Shiklah being somewhat selfish is upset that Wade has other priorities then her. Also the fact he is trying to be a better man & hero doesn't gel well with her since she's a demon lord so him being all selfless & goodie-goodie turns her off.

This wouldn't by any chance be done to get Deadpool back together with Copycat to tie in with the movie will it?

WHAT? they killed Jack Russell, one of my favorite horror heroes? goddamnit Marvel.

...oh well, he'll certainly be back soon.

also I love how much they lie on variant covers. the original Champions team, complete with fake Ghost Rider figure? yeah, sure. it works well as a tribute, which is probably what was intended as well.

If this doesn't kill him then hopefully its a lesson that sticks. Don't fuck a guys wife. Especially Deadpool's. Seriously the fuck did he expect by shagging Wade's wife? He's luckily he got a quick death instead.

Also not sure on Copycat, I mean is she even still active?

Screwing someone's wife is not nearly as bad as murder. That sounds like a terrible way to kill off Werewolf by Night.

On The Maker getting intelectually curbstomped: that sounds more like Depending on the Writer than a fair assessment of how smart he is. 616 doesn't feel that much smarter than the Ultimate universe when you look at what people achieved, I think it's more likely that the writers are just going to favour other characters because The Maker kind of existed to vindicate other characters.

Debating smarts among the characters is like debating their power: multiple writers with differing prefences skews things. So this revelation about Moon Girl is just power level wank. It remains to be seen how this plays out in the rest of the universe.

We haven't seen any writers saying otherwise so far. It's just the fans that have been angry.

The writers know the kind of story that's being told, and who the intended audience is. Readers want to treat it as power level Battleboards crap, which is the wrong way of seeing it.

Jack is most certainly not dead. For one who is gonna be in moon knight. for another that shotgun probably didn't have silver bullets.

and mu obviously stands for mutant universe. the muties are getting sent away

For one who is gonna be in moon knight.
Jack Russell hasn't been a part of Moon Knight since the very beginning. In fact, I'm pretty sure he never made any appearances in Moon Knight's own books and I know for a fact he hasn't made any appearances in Jeff Lemire's Moon Knight.

He made a handful of appearances in Marc's series, including a team-up involving Gambit. I think the last time they crossed paths was in Benson's run, right after the Black Spectre arc.

And a cover for an upcoming issue has a werewolf that is presumably him on the cover.

all of this is pretty ironic considering Moon Knight first appeared in Jack's original series.
