If it wasn't supposed to be part of this whole Death of Spider-Man thing, I probably wouldn't be bothering with NANU (heh - "nanu"), but as is, I'm cautiously optimistic. 2010 was the first year in the Ultimate line's existence where I didn't buy every single title, which is another way of saying I got sick of the Ultimates.
Jeph Loeb's New Ultimates, if it can be said to exist at all, is every bit as annoying and forgettable as Ultimatum, but that was expected. What's caught me by surprise is how little Mark Millar's Ultimate Avengers is grabbing me. The first story arc was pretty good. The second arc was alright, though I'm not really a Ghost Rider person. And now this vampire business - I just cannot make myself care.
What's funny about it is that I'm absolutely crazy about the current incarnation of Ultimate Spider-Man. I wish the art wasn't changing around so much, but between Bombshell, den mother Aunt May, and super hero training, this is the most fresh and exciting paradigm Peter Parker's been stuck into in all the time I've been reading comics. Here's hoping the Death crossover brings some of that enthusiasm over to the Ultimates, rather than bringing my apathy to Spider-Man.
