Ultimatum: Requiem

Ultimatum: Requiem - Aron Coleite, Joe Pokaski, Aron E. Coleite, Stuart Immonen

Having made the worst of it, Jeph Loeb scampers off somewhere to ruin someone else's day and leaves more capable writers to do what they can to patch things up.

And, much like how just watching peroxide bubble and foam out of a nasty scrape when I was little seemed to do just as much good as the actual disinfection, 'Requiem' works in two ways. It acknowledges all the dumb crap that's happened in the past few issues and implores everyone to take a moment to pull themselves together and move on.

The sooner we get over this the sooner we can pretend that everyone died of SARS or something. It is still supposed to be early aughts in the Ultimate Universe right?

The Dead:

 

Angel, Beast, Blob, Cannonball, Captain Britain (and the whole EU supersquad, [also, Parliament]), Cypher, Cyclops, Daredevil, Dazzler, Detonator, Doctor Doom, Doctor Strange, Emma Frost, Forge, Dr. Franklin Storm, Hard-Drive, Hank Pym (Giant/Ant Man), Juggernaut, Longshot, Lorelei, Madrox, Magneto, Nightcrawler, Polaris, Professor X, Psylocke, Sunspot, Syndicate, Thor, Toad, Wasp, Wolverine. Also, possibly Havoc and Nightmare.

(show spoiler)


All done in by SARS. Yep. That's what I'm sticking with.
