Ultimate Nightcrawler and Northstar in Ultimate X-Men #46

Post by Jeremys Iron »

Over at Mile High Comics they have got the whole issue of Ultimate X-Men #46 up to read. Be warned there are spoilers in the issue, most notably, [spoiler] Beast is dead. [/spoiler] :surprise :(

This is the first issue for writer Brian K. Vaughan (Y: The last Man, Runaways, Mystique) and artist Brandon Peterson (Crossgen) and it involves nightcrawler (briefly) and the first appearance of ultimate Norhtstar (I have a feeling someone around here will be very happy about this ;)). It's a great creative team and they did a good job on this issue. I like everything I've read by Vaughan and Peterson's pencils are amazing here.

I am a little perplexed as to why Marvel has allowed Mile High to put the whole issue up. They did the same thing earlier with the first issue of Daredevil: Father and apparently a lot of people read it. My question is, is this good promotion or does it encourage people to not buy the first issue 'cause they've already read it? Is is really worth the cover price if you can just read it online for free?

Spider: Or your attack womb.
Channon: Or your illegal bowel disruptor.
Spider: Whatever...

and the first appearance of ultimate Norhtstar (I have a feeling someone around here will be very happy about this ).
You better believe it. :P

[spoiler] I hope they explain why he doesn't have pointed ears. And Northie doesn't look so attractive in this universe. He looks unkempt. But he does seem to be attracted to guys tho. Oh well I still love him. :) Oh and that's Mr. Sinister? Wow! Different.[/spoiler]

Eh- I wouldn't worry. The Ultimate universe seems to be where they're marketing to the movie audience, and the character in question has been confirmed as beeing in the current treatment of X3......

It's just like the 25 cent issues they put out every so often except I'd guess that putting the issues online costs less than basically giving them away.

I liked the issue, anyway, although I haven't been reading Ultimate for awhile.

I just hope Mr Vaughan will use Kurt MORE that in ONE damn panel -it's something Millar and Bendis did ALL the time, and I just can't stand it anymore !!

So, [spoiler]Beast is dead ?? Really strange. Did Bendis hate him or what ? During his short run, he took Storm away from him, then the X-Men and then... his life. D'oh ![/spoiler]

I'm quite happy about Northstar too ! At least he's inside one X-book !

Hmmm....
[spoiler] I was kind of wondering where the connection to Sinister is- He's gone from Victor Frankenstien to 50 Cent..... but maybe he's hiding his more refined, scientific ways? Maybe he goes out, kills mutants he likes, then digs them up and reanimates them as his Maurauders.....[/spoiler]

I liked the issue, but *cringe* everytime I see Nighty now he just looks... :yech And his stupid, pointy yellow outfit isn't helping.
Ultimate Nighty started off so incredibly awesome-looking. I know artists change and they have a right to incorporate their own style, but still... :bawl

On another note, my SO didn't like Sinister's new gangsta look. He should know, being his #1 fan and all ;)

Yeah, especially since his English was perfect back when he was driving that sports car around. Or whatever. Did that plot line ever get fixed up, or did he just magically appear on the team one day?

I dont read Ultimate regularly but can anyone tell me waht happened after that? how did he join the team?

And yes the vhere seems odd after he spoke so well while talking to Moira..

Also does anyone wonder why Kurt seemed so shocked when Northstar said he was gay? Will Kurt be queer? or does it go against his religeion?

Or mabe just a "I never would have guessed.." or did he just not know what it meant?

perhaps ... he was only 13 when he was abducted by the SHIELD and may have never really been confronted with homosexuality before
and maybe the soldiers used to rape him during his Weapon X time, for destroying his personnality or punishing him or just for fun
so he hardly understands how a man could love men
my poor little elf :cry

but, under this theory i can't slash him with Northie anymore ! :bawl


... i'm a twisted person and i've got utterly screwy ideas :urg
d'you think that i should see a psychiatrist ?

Azur, you should use spoilers since I and maybe others have not read the issue yet. Without them it ruins the book for them.

Last I read was:


[spoiler] Northstar being shot by Sinister. So now I know he survives. [/spoiler]

Just thought I'd let you know my friend.
