Issue one had the Defenders appear with superpowers. Considering the holiday season kills my productivity due to having a retail job, this issue being a Thor-centric entry and our habit of writing Thor as Santa Claus, it came natural to save it for the week of Christmas. There are only two more issues left to cover, then we can lay the Ultimate Edit Trilogy to rest. Still, ManiacClown and I felt compelled to at least finish what we started. Now he’s hanging out in Marvel’s animation division, meaning that the next issue of New Ultimates is his last. Plus Jeph Loeb has left comic writing behind, at least for the time being. I wouldn’t exactly call it good, but it lacks the apocalyptic, “How did this get made?!” horror that came from Ultimates 3 and especially Ultimatum. Nobody cried foul or asked, “Hey, whatever happened to that thing you guys used to do?” As it took longer for us to get to it, we found that it brought sadness and annoyance to… well, nobody really. Due to scheduling conflicts, ManiacClown and I couldn’t get on it immediately like we’ve done with all the other Loeb/Ultimate stuff. Those of you paying attention may have noticed that Ultimate New Ultimates #4 came out two months ago. Welcome to a special holiday edition of New Ultimate Edit.
