Good golly those look nice.
Welp. Finished AXIS. It was just... yeah. Definitely iffy, not as mindblowingly bad as I was expecting at least. The idea could've worked, it just wasn't capitalized on almost at all in the main series. The tie-ins were actually quite nice though, with Revolutions being the real surprise as those were some great, fun little stories and I don't think I've ever heard anyone mention it in here.
So, to confirm:
For what it's worth, Spider-man had some legitimately nice scenes and I honestly liked seeing him react to Carnage at least. And Kluh is indeed just the worst, and as real "seriously, who the hell thought this was a good idea?!" thing.
So, to confirm:
Iron Man was unreverted, leading to the Superior stuff which was... was it any good? And apparently the same applies to Sabertooth leading to whatever the Wolverines stuff is/was. But what's the deal with Havok? Did/do we indeed have an evil Havok running around? Because that's pretty lame.

I can't describe how happy you have just made me. You know how Messi has an Olivia Wilde folder? I have a Dan Didio folder.

Why is Kluh being brought up again?

Yeah. Cavill was the first person I thought of when I saw it.
It was mindblowingly bad if you hyped yourself up for a couple of months before Axis's release because you were expecting Remender to write something at least as entertaining as his Uncanny Avengers book up to and through Planet X.

Zombeen, did you know that even cowgirls get the black and blues?
Oh, Kluh is that great?
Yo, Jim Le's art looks fucking dope. What is Batman Europa?
Woah look at all that shade
LOVE YOU TOO M8

I can't hate on Kluh too much because the Nova tie in he was featured in was one of the few bright spots of Axis.

Kluh is the dumbest possible thing. The dumbness of all other things is measured relative to Kluh's. It is the absolute zero of dumbness.
There is a Army of Darkness Humble Bundle:

https://www.humblebundle.com/books/morebooks
I'm gonna do it, guys. Added every Ultimate Universe comics on MU to my library, with the exception of the Ultimate Spider-man and the team-up stuff I'd already read (well, and Ultimate Human). So in other words the Ultimate universe minus the best part is what I've prepped myself to read.
To confirm, I should be good to go seeing as I just went straight down the alphabetical list starting with the "Ultimate Comics" stuff and then scrolling down past the "Ultimates" and finally "Ultimatum", right? There's no weird, doesn't start with Ultimate in the title parts of the universe, are there?
Also, man, MU really needs a "add all" button for series, that was way more tedious then it should've been.
Anyway, starting count of comics to read: 412.

It makes me feel good to see a humble bundle that doesn't have lewd comics in it.

"Doreen is medically and legally distinct from being a mutant, and I can never take this back."
lolol
No I know, I meant I added everything in the Ultimate universe in the alphabetical order list on MU, and the Ultimate Comics stuff just happens to come first there. I got the older stuff too. And for extra crazy I'm thinking I'll just follow the release order, since MU puts it that way in your library anyway, so they'll be a decent amount of hopping between titles, I'd imagine.
This should be interesting, though, hopefully...
What?
Goodness... It's been a while since I've seen a Jim Lee page where he's not phoning it in. That's stunning. The coloring is fantastic too.

Honestly, the "mutants are persecuted" thing makes a lot less sense these days. How do you even tell? What is it about mutants that makes them stick out amongst a crowd of non-mutant superpeople? How does a confrontation go down?
"Hey, saw you shooting eyebeams! You wunna those muties?"
"Uh, no, I just, um, accidentally shoved my face in a pile of toxic chemicals."
"Oh, okay. Sorry for botherin ya. You can't be too careful."
And then both parties feel awkward for the rest of the day.
I get that it's supposed to be a metaphor for real-world racism but it's a little bit strained.

If it's drawn by Jim Lee it will most definitely get a deluxe edition. And a black and white noir edition. And an artist unwrapped edition. And a 5 year anniversary oversized absolute edition.
This is why they need to exist in their own universe.
