The only big Ultimate things I´ve read were the first two trades of Ultimate Spidey, X-Men, the first run on the Ultimates and the first three or so arcs of Ultimate Spidey, Ultimates and Ult X-Men after Parker had died.

I've read Ultimate Spider-Man up to Issue #53, "Carnage," "Clone Saga," "Death of the Goblin," the first 14 issues of the second volume, and "Death of Spider-Man."

Oh, and Spider-Men.

Is that one any good? I heard very mixed things about it.

I liked it. It was fun.

It also included this scene:

And this one, too:

Finished reading the first seventeen issues of Uncanny Avengers in pretty much one go and it was so much fun...well as much fun as the end of the world can be :lol

Its just incredible how well this book reads as one big piece.

Is there a particular reason people don't like Fear Itself?

I found Fear Itself to be kinda boring. It was mostly just action and very little plot. Also for a book called Fear Itself it wasnt really all that scary :lol

Ah. Okay, then. :lol

I'm enjoying it so far, but that might be because I'm also reading the tie-ins.

I read most of the tie-ins as well but wasnt really impressed with them. The only ones I really liked were those that showed the fight between Tony and the gargoyle in greater detail. Those Issues are great though. Seeing Tony being completely helpless and having to watch the Gargoyle masscare Paris was really terrifying.

Ironically, that's the one set of tie-ins I don't have. :lol
