It looks bizarre, but Frank Miller obviously liked the gritty-feeling of Sin City, so he incorporated it here...

Guys, as much as I love it here, I cannot guarantee that I will be able to post here regularly. And since I'm the only Admin here, I know that's been kind of irresponsible of me, since I'm the only one who can make new topics, grant user permissions, and edit settings. So to ensure that this forums gets the care and upkeep it deserves, I have made Kevin an official administrator. Kevin, you are now in charge of upkeep of the boards. At the bottom of the screen, go to Administration Panel to change things. You'll figure it out, it's not too hard.

I'm sorry I have to do this, but college is coming up, and who knows what I'll be doing.

There doesn't seem to be any Fury in the Ultimates nowadays.
Jeph Loeb stinks at the book.
I'm sorry, he's a good writer and all, but his story STINKS. STINKS I TELL YOU! I was reading Homeland Security the other day and it had so much more action and it felt so much more real and alive. Like what comics are meant to do - take you to another world. When I'm reading Ultimates 3 I feel nothing. All I feel is that I'm sitting in my house reading a book.
BRING BACK MARK MILLAR AND BRYAN HITCH! THEY MADE ME ACTUALLY LIKE THE AVENGERS!
They kicked, (actually they continue to, even not doing Ultimates anymore) ass.
READ (from Wikipedia):

Reception:
Ultimates 3 #1 was ranked first in December 2007 Top 300 comics with preorder sales of 131,401.[5]

Richard George from IGN.com called the book a "reasonably decent experience" although the issue "falters on its own merits". George found various elements of the book "awkward", and "bizarre", including the first six-to-eight page sequence, the introduction of new characters without explanation, the dialogue and characterization, and the lack of an illustration of how two years have passed since the last Ultimates arc. George called Joe Madureira's pencils "stunning", but lacking in panel-to-panel fluidity or logic with respect to characters' poses. George did not think highly of Madureira's storytelling, and thought that Lichtner's coloring created an "odd haze and muted quality", which was less suited to Madureira than to Hitch's art. The other reviewer from IGN.com, Bryan, scored the issue 3.1 out of 10, and criticizing the lack of subtlety as being "tasteless", and the book as a "brainless and almost offensive exercise". IGN gave the book an overall score of 6.6 out of 10.[6]

Jason Michelitch from popcultureshock.com awarded the issue a C-, opining that Madureira's manga-influenced art, which was groundbreaking in the 1990's, now looked trite, given the ubiquity of manga in the 2000's. Michelitch perceived Lichtner's coloring as characterized by a "muddy-brownish red over everything, turning all the visuals into a non-dynamic mush." Michelitch also found fault with Jeph Loeb’s writing, saying that the mature material was inappropriate for children.[7]

Jon Judy from comicsbulletin.com was more receptive of the comic, giving it four and a half bullets, and stated the new series is off to a "very, very good start". He praised most of Loeb's dialogue, and felt Madureira's art was "cartoony enough not to be a distraction but detailed and dark enough to fit the feel of the book." Fellow comicsbulletin reviewers Shawn Hill and Kevin Powers were less impressed, each giving the book two bullets each. Hill criticized the inconsistent rendering of Wasp, and poor characterization of the characters, which he saw as indistinguishable from their Marvel 616 counterparts, though he enjoyed the appearance by Valkyrie. Powers criticized the lack of explanation for the appearance of Black Panther and Valkyrie, and how the various situations and characters felt out of place, though he praised Madureira's art, and expressed curiosity as to where the story would lead.[8]

Ultimates 3 #2 was ranked 7th in January 2008 with preorder sales of 105,070.[9]

James Donnelly from popsyndicate.com was critical of the second issue, stating "This is a bad bad series that shows no signs whatsoever of getting better." [10]

Ultimates 3 #3 dropped in the sales February 2008 ranking to 5th with preorder sales of 97,210.[11]

Rokk Kirrin from Rokk's Comic Book Revolution rated the art 7 ouf of 10, and the story 4 out of 10, with an overall rating of 5.5 out of 10. The reviewer enjoyed Madureira's artwork, but was disappointed with the coloring, opining that it gave the book a "very dim and muddy look". He was critical of the bad characterization of characters, especially of Hawkeye.[12]
