Man this series is fun as hell (despite some overly edgy writing) - we also wouldn't have the look of the MCU without The Ultimates
Well said
It laid the proper foundation for the MCU to exist within the current era. The way they redefined all their star characters for the 21 century pretty much became the status quo for most renditions of the characters I grew up with. I remember only knowing of Ultimate Spider-Man and Ultimate X-Men, the shock I had when I learned the 1610 wasn't the main canon shook me
@GreenGoblet is there any decent literary merit/writing in this series? Just wondering, I hear alot of back and forth about it. What makes it so fun?
I'm a real sucker for the Ultimate universe through it's high-highs and abysmal-lows. Can't wait to pick this one up tomorrow.
@jearl75290 Wasnt Mark Millar’s Ultimates considered one of the highs of the ultimate universe? (Even if it wasnt as high as Bendis’s Ultimate Spider-Man??)
While I may not like the Ultimate Universe, Ultimates 2 will always have a special place for me because it was the first trade paperback I ever got, my dad got me The Ultimates 2 Vol. 2: Grand Theft America as a gift for my 7th birthday. Now whether or not a 7-year-old should've been reading that book is a whole different story lol.
I'm sounding like a broken record but I'm SO glad I came back when I did. This, the Waid Flash, Wolverine 2 and 3, etc, loving it!! Really looking forward to the Invaders also!!
Welcome back, Doug! I hope you've been well.
@@NearMintCondition Doing great, thanks. Got a BUNCH of animals spayed and neutered. Found homes for a few, lol, ended up keeping the odd balls since they remind me of, well, me :)
I love how thorough you are with these reviews Omar! ❤
You know what kind of collectors some of us are. 😅
If I had a choice I’d prefer the earlier printing, for the supplementary material and to be honest I like the deeper colours better. So many omnis the past couple months! I wonder which ones will suffer sales-wise ‘cos I know I can’t afford ‘em all! Thanks Omar!
Just wait until December and January! There's something like 14 or more omnis slated for January, granted they don't get pushed back... I kind of hope they do, I know my wallet does.
Been waiting for this!! So happy to see this video pop up 🙌
I remember reading this as a teenager (where has all the time gone!!) and having my mind blown by how edgy and dark it was. Pretty sure if I picked this up now, I wouldn't be quite so fond of the stories. Some things are better left in the past to preserve our memories of them.
The first omnibus I bought, back in 2008ish. Didn't know what they were and changed my life (for the better?)
I was a bit disappointed first, because i misunderstood the title and thought it was a vol 2.
I already have one copy of this. But it's good to see that it is on a third printing. Gives me hope for a second volume soon.
Oooh boy. Interesting, at least. Great overview as always!
This is my second favourite book after Miracleman I'll be keeping my 2 OHC's as they have the commentary that's missing, I wish they had included Annual number 2 , I know it's not by Millar, but just to be complete. I have a 14ft long version of that huge splash page, printed on cloth so it won't crease. I've got the entire UU in various formats so I'm glad they are gradually replacing most of it with Omni's, I wish they hadn't messed it up.
I ended up recently trying to get all the ultimate comics, I think that's going to be one of the few I skip since it isn't worth finding what other edition it's collected in
@@Humanbean1100 The Ultimates 2 Annual? it's in 'Ultimate Annuals volume 2' TPB there are a few copies on ebay dirt cheap
Do both OHCs have the commentary or is it only in the Ultimates 2 one?
@@Steviewonder322 It's split across both volumes
@@beastlaz im saying i dont want to get an entire volume of something for one annual. i think its in one of the annual collections but this would still be the only one that isn't/wont be collected in a large volume in the future (if they do all of the spiderman xmen and eventually fantastic four cmon)
Please let's get more Ultimate Universe omnibuses.
Is there a reading order for the ultimate universe? I'm very much interested in the ultimate universe. Just picked up ultimate Spider-Man and ultimate X-men and now this as well.
i always described the ultimates as if HBO did the avengers this what it would look like
I was not going to grab this until I read miles ultimate Spider-Man and was curious about the rest of the ultimate universe so I think imma check this one out
Oh man, no thanks Ultimate universe is not for this guy. But the art looks nice.
Thanks for pointing out the annual is not in the OHC. Now i need to get the omni and sell the OHC
Pop culture references in '70s and '80s comics? What are you talking about? *Covers up page of Iron Man issue featuring Rodney Dangerfield*
I have 2019 reprint. It is great storyline. 😎 Avengers for XXI century.
Wondering why Marvel removed those 25 pages of commentary ?
For Me it is great to read it.
When the hulk tried to eat Freddie Prinze jr🤣🤣🤣🤣
I still have my oversized hardcovers of these. That's a big error from Marvel missing the creators commentary out from the reprint and a strange decision given the lower page count.
The transformers license is returning to marvel next year. Any chance we could see those original comics reprinted
Omar, I love that “It wasn’t an Avengers the Crossing!” Side question: what brand are your book shelves because I need to buy new ones because mine are sagging in the middle with the weight of omnibuses?
The ones in the back are Kallax from Ikea.
I only read DC comics as a kid. But the first marvel comic I read was ultimates issues one and I was hooked. Even though I don't know what the character were in some case.. but it got me to read marvel. I love the frist few volume of ultimate Spider-Man X-Men and ff great stuff
Anyone else going against Omar on the coloring? I prefer the older edition being darker myself...
It looks muddled, but I'm okay with my second printing.
@@trishb.6398 Some of it may be muddled, but the coloring of the original edition is also faithful to how the original issues actually looked. A real shame they couldn’t find a better balance for the new edition if only for maintaining deeper blacks in one pages like the mountain climbing scene.
I agree with you the earlier printing looks better than the bright colors of the new print. Maybe it looks different in person.
Another great review as always. I plan on keeping my 2 OHCs but this is great for those that missed out. Only thing i would slightly disagree with is recommendation to MCU movie fans as while there are nice visuals that look the same, many of the Ultimates are a bit unlikable compared to MCU or 616 for that matter. Would be a bit of shock for fans or Cap, IM, Hank Pym, and umm Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver if you know what i mean.
But dude you gotta stop flexing your shelf in the back full of Omnis that won't be coming out for months (that we can't get yet) but sitting pretty in front of you! :D
Let the man flex, I love the peek at the things we have to look forward to.
This is top 3 best marvel stuff ever with Punisher max by ennis and alias by bendis. Not your typical dull superhero slog
Great Review. But..?! If you can inquire, WHY..DID Marvel remove the Creators Commentaries?? 🤷🏻♂️
I’m really excited to get a copy of this, I’m aiming to get the direct market cover because that crossover cover is dope. I’m also holding out hope to see Ultimatum collected in omnibus format 😅 I did enjoy that but I can also see why people didn’t.
I did really like the art in Ultimatum and Ultimates 3.
I honestly don't mind ultimatum, I can understand why someone wouldn't, but the whole point of ultimatum was to wipe the slate of the current characters. And it definitely achieved that lol
Parental Adversary? In this series? No wayyy
“Do you think this A stands for France!”
Lol man….
Eh, the differences in the new printing don't bother me. I got the gorgeous DM cover with all the Ultimate Universe heroes from IST, and I'm so excited!!
The Ultimate Universe had a fantastic start. Started to lose its way with Ultimatum. Came back with Death of Spider-man. Then died a slow death outside of Miles Morales which for me died shortly after Secret Wars By Hickman.
@NearMintCondition Hi, my ultimates omni has some big white gaps between some pages. Like there's a bundle of pages and then theres a gap
How can I fix it?
Lol... "Batman?? He's ok but he's no Avengers: The Crossing!" 😂😂😂😂
Are the colors too bright in the new printing? Can someone please tell me what edition they think has better coloring and why
One of the goofiest ahh omnibus out there
So, thinner paper on DJ and interior AND a substantial extra missing AND it's too light compared to ALL other printings?!?!? David Gabriel - WTF?
Does Spider-Man actually appear in this omni? He's shown on one of the covers and Omar mentions his battle with the Hulk, apparently in a team-up issue, but I don't recall...
There is a big team up with the Ultimate universe as a whole.
@@NearMintCondition Ah, thanks for the info, Omar, appreciate it!!
When can we expect the Star Wars New Republic overview??
In a week or so. It's on my reading pile after War of the Bounty Hunters.
So Marvel is charging the same price for a new printing of the Ultimates with less pages and poor quality colors? For the same price the old printing is looking better to me. As it is in other of their books I'm not l liking their super see through pages, and those awful spines, with the tiny font. It seems like they're trying to cut cost, and we're getting the bad end of the stick. Overall nice review Omar.👍
“Regardless of how people felt about the ultimate universe” you mean how you felt about the ultimate universe 😂
Ohhh just look at some of the comments. :) But Love that its back so people that missed it can finally get it.
When can we get an Ultimate Fantastic Four Omnibus Vol. 1?
Just announced
anyone know if the commentary can be read online? i do like that kind of stuff but i don't really want to uppay for it lol
Question? Is this the only Omnibus for The Ultimates? Or does the story continue?
There is an ultimate avengers, ultimates 3 and Ultimates by Hickman and Ewing. Only ultimate avengers has an omnibus.
Great overview. But this, like Ultimate X-men look so much of their time, and just not as interesting as I remember.
FREDDIE PRINZE JR 🎉
I never read this one, but I’m extremely interested. Is this a book I can just dive right into?
Yes, it’s the start of the greater ultimate universe other than ultimate spider man
I absolutely love these comics, but infortunately I agree some "edgy" parts are cringe and I have actually held back from recommending this book to some friends only because of the letter A reference.
🙄🙄🙄
Damn......Not gonna lie, I kinda want that commentary even though I already had my new printing arrive XD anyone seeling theirs?
Good stuff…no barf detected.
Is it worth me picking this up if I already own The Complete Collection Vol 1 & Vol 2 in TPB?
maybe for artwork idk your choice,i didn't read those but if you enjoyed the plot sure
@@space.pirate481 I enjoyed the story and the artwork. There are 2 omnis I believe for the Ultimates and it looks like the "Complete Collection" TPB only has enough contents for one Omni. I'll have to give it a look
@@sam.butleris the series worth reading?
@Seasonal-Shadow_4674 I'd say so. Very different to the mainline Avengers stories and you can clearly see the MCU was inspired by this version of the Avengers
No Brasil "supremos"
I enjoyed the Ultimates. It was not better than the 616
hmm maybe offtopic but though about Kevin Conroy death?
