ULTIMATE MARVELIn 2000 Marvel Comics announced the launch of a new imprint – Ultimate Marvel. Based around bringing in new readers Ultimate Marvel would take the characters that you know and love and ‘ultimatize’ them, turning them into heroes and villains for the modern age. At the time of launching the imprint was headed by Mark Millar and Brian Bendis. But what if instead, it was actually run by the far cooler Dale ‘Rated R’ Clarke and Chris ‘Chris Hammers’ Hammers? This is what would happen.

ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN #1Power & Responsibility; Part 1 Writer: Dale ‘Rated R’ Clarke Artist: There’s no art here, what were you expecting?The issue starts out by exploring the life of a sixteen year old Peter Parker. Parker is just like any ordinary teenager, albeit with a little bit of super intelligence thrown in for good measure. He lives with his aunt (May) and uncle (Ben) following the death of his parents when he was just a child. On this particular day Peter is scheduled to go on a school trip to Osborn Industries, a company owned by the genius philanthropist Norman Osborn. It just so happens that Norman’s son, Harry, is one of Peter’s closest friends at Midtown high school, along with the journalistic Mary Jane Watson and the headstrong Jessica Jones. Those not in the friendship camp? Midtown’s resident bullies Flash Thompson and Eddie Brock, who showcase their less than desirable traits by picking on ‘puny Parker’ before Harry steps in to break things up. Harry, being as rich and handsome as all billionaires son’s are, has the charisma to stop the two bullies. Peter brushes himself off as he and Harry rush to catch the bus to Osborn Industries, the most wanted school trip ever... well, not really, but it’s a day out of school so no complaining. During this time Norman Osborn overlooks several less than ethical experiments as he attempts to unlock the secrets behind the super soldier formula that gave the original Captain America his powers (more on Cap over in The Ultimates). Project Oz is Osborn’s attempts to replicate that formula and has recently moved on to animal testing, including a certain spider. While Osborn talks to his head scientist on the project, Curt Connors, the spider escapes from containment due to a simple mistake. The spider crawls through the ventilation system, and then swings down from the vents. At the same time the midtown high school tour is underway. During this it becomes apparent that there may be some underlying romantic tension between Peter and Mary Jane. The two have a moment which is cut short by the bullying tactics of Flash and Eddie Brock. Peter is knocked to the ground and it is at this moment that he, unknowingly to the rest of the students, is bitten by the spider. Peter begins feeling the effects of the spider bite immediately and rushes to the toilets. There he presses his hand onto the wall and finds that his hand sticks to it. Then, as any teenager would, he proceeds to climb up the wall and onto the ceiling. The issue ends with an amazed Peter Parker saying “Well that’s new.” First Appearances: Peter Parker, Aunt May, Uncle Ben, Harry Osborn, Mary Jane Watson, Jessica Jones, Flash Thompson, Eddie Brock, Norman Osborn, Curt Connors ULTIMATE X-MEN #1The Tomorrow People; Part 1 Writer: Dale ‘Rated R’ Clarke Artist: There’s still no art, obviously.The issue opens six months ago with Bolivar Trask, a scientist for the United States government, detailing the threat that Mutants present to the world to the president of the United States and the secretary for defence. Trask is requesting funding for his new Sentinel project, dedicated to creating a synthetic robot that can combat the threat that Mutants represent. The request is granted, and he is told to begin work on the Sentinels immediately. He leaves the meeting and finds Matthew Risman waiting for him. Trask tells him that they can begin. In the present a teenage Mutant (John Allardyce aka Pyro) is attacked on the streets of New York by the giant Sentinel robots. His powers of pyrokinesis are not strong enough, nor under enough control, to fight back. Things look bleak before a team of Mutants calling themselves (what else?) the X-Men step in to make the save. These X-Men consist of Cyclops (Scott Summers), his brother Havok (Alex Summers), Marvel Girl (Jean Grey), Colossus (Piotr Rasputin) and Beast (Hank McCoy). The X-Men are successful in not only extracting Allardyce but also defeating the Sentinels, however this does little to appease growing resentment from humanity. During this a series of flashbacks also detail how the X-Men were brought together. Jean Grey (then 13, now 19) was the first Mutant approached by Charles Xavier as her telepathic powers were getting out of control. Her parents agreed to let Charles train her to ensure her safety. Cyclops (then 17, now 21) and Havok (then 15, now 19) were found a year later. They had been on the run after their powers manifested a year earlier at the foster home they were placed in. Xavier saved them from a lynch mob before offering them a place at the Xavier Institute. These three would be the first to join the school and the only ones for several years. Colossus (24) was working for the Russian mob as a way to make money for his family. However when his Mutant powers were discovered he accepted an offer from Xavier in order to ensure his families safety. Beast (23) had always been a social outcast due to his features (oversized hands and feet that grant him his acrobatic powers) and gladly accepted Xavier’s offer to work with him in order to ensure peace for the Mutant race. The X-Men bring Pyro back to the Xavier Institute, a school for Mutants founded by Professor Charles Xavier. Xavier explains to Pyro that he wants to prove that Mutants and humans can live side by side and that he can help Pyro control his powers. Pyro accepts the offer, saying that he doesn’t have anywhere else to go. Elsewhere a shadowy figure watches a report of the X-Men’s actions. The figure is revealed to be Magneto who simply states ‘Game on Charles’. First Appearances: Bolivar Trask, Matthew Risman, Pyro, Sentinels, Cyclops, Havok, Marvel Girl, Colossus, Beast, Magneto.

Well the first Ultimate Spiderman was pretty much just the beginning of any Spiderman story, but I did like the way it was written. I see what you're doing now, I just don't know how long this will last, but I'm hoping it really takes off. The Ultimate X-Men was really interested. I liked the recruiting of Pyro and it seemed like a good edition. As with Spiderman, I really hope this takes off and we see some big things happening.
This is a really great idea, and thus far, it's well executed. I look forward to future editions. But I must say, I find it hard working out how to reply, haha. I'm not sure what to comment on.

as Elliot stated pretty normal regular spidey-start. liked that Flash and Brock were friends I'm sure when Venom comes into play the product will come out quite nicely
again an average start with some small twists in X-Men I liked sentinel being a US military project rather than Magneto's titan army, really loved getting the backstories of guys like, Cyclops, Havok & Colossus it builds your impression of their character early on enough to make you decide who's your favorite. not too familiar with the character of Pyro is he an actual character or one you made up? I liked the ending with Magneto that last quote of "game on Charles" kinda gets you hyped for the next issue

The Ultimate's #1 Earth's Mightiest Heroes; Part 1 Writer: Chris HammersThe first issue of the series kicks off with Dr. Bruce Banner working at his computer in a fancy high-tech office. Banner slams his hands on the desk in anger, no closer to duplicating the Captain America Super Soldier formula. Bruce knows what is about to happen so he quickly opens several drawers, grabbing a needle and injecting himself in the arm. The drug calms him down, but makes him weak, as he slumps against the wall and slides down to the ground.
Flashback starts
The scene opens from several months prior takes place showing Bruce Banner, and Hank Pym getting in to an argument over Bruce’s lack of progress in the Super Soldier formula setting everyone else back as well. The two eventually get in to a fist fight causing Bruce to turn in to The Hulk. The now monster form of Bruce Banner grabs Hank by the head, his hand covering Hank’s entire face, and he throws him out of the window of the building. Hank falls ten stories before eventually being caught by his wife, Janet , who has the ability to grow wings and fly.
While Hank isn’t dead, he is still rushed to hospital from being thrown through a window as S.H.I.E.L.D agents track down The Hulk who has now began to rampage through the entire city. It is shown that agent Clint Barton, known better as Hawkeye eventually takes down Hulk with a needle pointed arrow that breaks the hulk’s skin and injects him with the same drug that causes him to pass out and transform back in to Bruce Banner. Director of Shield, Nick Fury is shown patting Clint on the back, congratulating him on likely saving many lives today.
End of Flashback
Dr. Janet Pym walks in to the room and sees what has happened. She rushes over Bruce and embraces him, making sure he is alright. At that moment, Janet’s husband, Hank enters the room and thinks the worst of the situation in his head but keeps it to himself and asks what is going on. Janet explains what has happened and asks her husband to help carry Bruce to a nearby chair.
Once sat on his chair, Bruce slumps forward and falls asleep on his desk, the effects from the drug in full effect. This is when Hank lets out his anger and asks what the hell is going on but Janet tells him to get over himself. The two exchange more heated words and Hank eventually storms out of the room. As Hank leaves, Dr. Betty Ross enters the room. Betty sees what state both Bruce and Janet are in and the two talk about what just happened.
We open to a different scene in the same building where S.H.I.E.L.D director, Nick Fury is on the phone with CEO of Stark Industries, Tony Stark. The two exchange words about a project Nick is starting called The Ultimate’s. Fury knows that Stark is buddies with Iron Man, as he provided him with the technology for the Iron Man suit, and he wants him to arrange a meeting between himself and Fury. Just then, a S.H.I.E.L.D agent storms in to the room, causing Fury to look up.
“Director Fury… we’ve found him... we've found Captain America” [/size][/center]

Spiderman: Good first write up. I didn't know what to expect since this hasn't really been done before. All was good and written up well. I expected a bit more backstory rather than being thrown into to story right away. Story seemed good, just like we all know it. The reference to Cap America makes sense. The ending was abit strange but nevertheless a good cliffhanger ending. Its a good start but I expected more of Peter's character to come out in the writing. But I'm sure that will come within the following episodes.
X-Men: Another good start, much more backstory based which I liked for a first episode. All written well like the one above. The backstory opening is not what I'm familar with but I'm sure I'll understand further on. Good choices for opening students. Always like the fire ability so Pryo being in there is good. Wonder where Woverine makes an appearence. Good cliffhanger ending too.
The Ultimate's: Interesting, I like it. Sounds like the Avengers but different. Hulk being a major character in this is great by me, opens plenty of storylines. Some of those characters I'm not familar with. I'm liking all these Cap America references. Liked the flashback, giving some backstory. The Stark bit got me interesting, does no-one know Stark is Iron man? or is Stark not Iron man in this, i'm confused. Good ending.
Overall, good start to all three and I expect all three to pick up. However, I do worry whether you'll keep it up since theres both of you working together all it takes is one of you to drop out. I do like that you both got a singluar and a multi-man diary (or whatever your going to call them) I don't know hardly anything about Deadpool so I look forward to the next update. Good luck guys and please keep this up.
