Well, I actually know who’s writing this crap: Jeph Loeb. This really surprises me, actually. I’ve been impressed with Loeb in the past.
Anyway, the crap he wrote is Ultimates 3. This book has none of the "wow" of the previous two series by Mark Millar. It’s got its own crappy kind of "wow."
"Wow. I can’t believe they came right out and actually stated that Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch are in an incestuous relationship, because it was much better when they were the ambiguously incestuous duo."
"Wow. It seems like they’re trying to make this book more like the Avengers, but Ultimates was good because of the differences between the two."
"Wow. Why did they think changing Ultimate Thor’s speech pattern to more resemble mainstream Marvel Thor was a good idea?" (Well, there’s something going on in the book that may undo that once it’s resolved. I have a feeling it won’t happen, though.)
