I just noticed Comixology has a sale on Marvel Ultimate universe.
Being a noob comic fan, I don't really know anything about those series... I vaguely heard that's it's a totally different universe with the popular heroes you know, but they are younger versions with completely new origins?
Any specific series in the Ultimate universe worth buying on this sale?

Ultimate Spider-Man is fantastic.
Ultimate Spidey is really great. Everything else goes from fair/decent to just plain bad depending on the team.

Would be good if we had a google doc link or a sub thread linked in OP where we could take a gander at what everyone who participates here reads. I know everyone does their weekly, but it would help on a larger scale. I think I've been posting in here long enough now I've pegged who I might take a recommendation from seriously/has similar tastes or views to me and it'd be handy to then go look at everything else the user is reading, in singles and trades. And vice versa, when I'm not sure, it would help contextualise what peeps are saying.
Also, George Romera and Maleev on a 15 issue zombie series? That's kind of cool haha. Click. Confident about the art, no idea on the writing.

Issue 17 was the beginning of Lemire and Sorrentino's run, but #24 is also a good jump on point.

They still need to put up a teaser for Robinson's second book. It looks like a lot are just new story arcs, where Marvel will throw a fresh new number one on it. Oh and they also need to tease YA volume two and the AA stuff.
Fuck you stupid Earth 2 DC editor. Its now one yes man away from being a fucking Mark Millar type comic.

I don't know. Not as harsh on Earth 2, personally; It's basically
.
Considering who is coming on to take over the book, this is either a really strange coincidence, or somebody thinks that Taylor is the right man for this sort of storyline.
Nicola Scott continues to dazzle with her gorgeous art.

Alan Scott was supposed to be the fuxking Superman figure of that world and he cant even do any fucking constructs and het got the shit beaten out of him. I cant believe Geoff Johns would let some editor do this to James Robinson, he was supposed to be the chosen one. I still want some Earth 2 figures but they arent coming 
In positive news, The Wake is an absolute treat.

Not much this week but what I did read was great
Superior Foes of Spiderman #4
Oh Boomerang,
Forever Evil #2
Hold up are they
Sonic the Hedgehog #253
Rotor's new look is good but he needs his hat back! Overall fun and solid issue even though I disliked how
Hinterkind #1
Good issue but I would've liked it MUCH better
Lazarus #4
Goddamn
, great action though and looking forward to the next story arc! If Rucka wants to dedicate 4 issues to world building, I'd love that as I really like the setting.
Superior Foes of Spiderman #4
Oh Boomerang,
why'd you go and do that man?
Forever Evil #2
Hold up are they
hinting at the AntiMoniter with the person with the hood on their head?
Sonic the Hedgehog #253
Rotor's new look is good but he needs his hat back! Overall fun and solid issue even though I disliked how
Silver Sonic was defeated easily, then again the Sky Patrol must be packing some heavy hitting ammo...
Hinterkind #1
Good issue but I would've liked it MUCH better
if it was just mankind surviving among wild animals like gorrillas, lions, etc. Non the less will keep up with it as I like it
Lazarus #4
Goddamn

Read the first 10 issues of Injustice just for shits and giggles. So bad its good? But not REALLY bad, but just kinda bad, but also kinda fantastic? I'm so torn.

It had potential, but stupid dialog and Bat fanwank kinda ruined it.

DC hasn't used To in months, I'm not surprised Marvel snapped him up. Anyway curious to see what both this and Kot's project are. Maybe Ales is taking over Secret Avengers from Spencer?

it means more batman books. 4 out of 5 Dc books were batman and forever evil has evil batman.
Batman for everybody!

evil batman stays in the dc universe and gets his own book?
Jeez, so many teasers. They look interesting though
ComicsGAF, I have a question. Where is the best place to buy prints by comic artists? I've never bought anything like that before and I just noticed how bare my room looks, so I thought I'd get something to hang on the walls.
My first thought was a Francavilla piece but the store on his site doesn't really have anything I was thinking of, plus his Breaking Bad pieces are US-only at the moment. Then I looked at Jock's site to see if he was selling his Black Mirror covers as prints but the only one he's selling is sold out. Is there a site that sells decent prints by comic artists?
especially that Greg Land-less one.

after seeing that spider man image done by yusuke murata, i would love to see manga artists do one shots of western comics. eiichiro oda doing a fantastic four one shot would be fucking amazing.
cruise control back into the 90s. as much as people claim to hate that era, it seems to sell. go figure.
everyone will agree with ultimate spider man. its the shining star of the ultimate universe. personally, i liked fantastic 4 up until the crossover arc, and its frightful closer. but other than that, i dont care for the rest.

I don't know much about this, except that I found myself following the twitter account for Cadence Comic Art. That would be one site to check out, I reckon.
I dunno that I've ever seen prints for sale outside of a con. Typically when artists are selling stuff it's the original art.

Certain comics artists release prints occasionally, like Jock and Francavilla. But they're generally drops that are timed or have a very limited number. Either follow the artists on twitter or check out the GAF Art Prints thread.
EIGHTEEN PART FOREVER EVIL TIE-IN CROSSOVER. FUCK YEAH. The DC Dream is still fucking alive.
Holy fuck :lol

Thanks for the answers! I didn't realise there was a thread for it, I'll definitely check that out. Looks like there are some great pieces even in the first post. And Cadence Comic Art looks like it has a huge amount of artists on it which is good (although it's a bit pricey.) I'll be keeping an eye on twitter/tumblr etc as usual too. Thanks again!
Edit: Ebay looks like it could be good too, lots of out-of-print stuff on there.

Yep, in the first few episodes there's all kinds of references to past writers for the comic.
A lot of people recommended Ultimate Spider-Man to me earlier on this page.
Just checking -- I am looking up where to start, and it seems there's a Volume 1 from around 2000-2011. And then a current series starting from 2011.
Which series is the one that everyone says is awesome? Or both?

This doesn't feel like the plan even just when December solicitations were released. The Justice League Dark solicits make sense through December with what they're saying about this event, but Constantine #9 wasn't said to be a Forever Evil tie-in.
Hard to say whether that fits with the event.
It kinda sounds like this is something J.M. DeMatteis was doing in both Justice League Dark and The Phantom Stranger (these all match the given event description), and then DC editorial told Ray Fawkes to jump onboard with both of his books.
thats the same shit that bogged down final crisis.
