Bump if you're reading.
>>144540010Bump
And that's it. If you liked this, support your LCS or whatever.
>>144540023Captain Marvel?
>>144540058I like how he has his own cerebro
>>144540100lame
>>144540100The way they got to their name is funny because they're girls
What is this crap? Where's all the superheroes?
>>144540082>this artWhat the heck?
>>144540195They're building up to it. I do wonder if they're going to wear uniforms at some point. The pacing feels really slow like another series could have gotten us here in 2 or three issues but if this is how she wants things to be. >>144540249She's so derpy. I really didn't expect her to be doing stuff like this.
Still as boring as ever, most of that development could have happened 2 issues ago, lot of pages wasted on irrelevant talk. Even beyond the fact that the cast is just a bunch of Japanese girls it's plain boring, they have the same bland personality so far and there's very little reason to want to follow them, school bullying ? Who gives a shit.
>>144540065>broken magnifying glass is the staff of oneneat
>>144540019Japan bullies go hard
>>144540313Building up to it with that cast ? A bunch of underage little Japanese school girls ? I genuinely can't see it be the definitive X-Men team the final whiplash with the others characters from ultimates, Black panther and spiderman is just too big.
>>144540094>cult shitmaybe I just have the wrong impression due to the media I consume but does Japan have an especially bad cult problem?
>>144540348I get what you mean X-Men has had a very diverse international cast since the 70s I know that a dirty word nowadays but it's true. So having all the cast members be from the same school feels so strange but I'm open to it. I would like to see more of the girls being "different" because that's a staple too. Speaking of different which one do you think is going to turn out to be gay?
>>144540010bump
>>144540088the first vague appearance of Sunfire in this book,
>>144540028Since it's been a while between issues I don't remember if this Noriko character has been seen before or is this her first appearance?
>>144540350maybe the former Priminister was assassinated due to his connection the the moonies which are basically a cult
>>144540100whose rabbit supposed to be?
>>144540350Not really any worse than any place else. It just has a different cultural history with cults since they could more easily exist in comparison to places like Christian Europe where cults would either have to stay very small and hidden, or quickly get wiped out.This makes them not only more historically familiar with them and incidents involving them, but it also makes them more open to labeling them as cults, in comparison to the west post-freedom of religion.Stuff like Scientology, or Jehova's Witnesses would openly be called cults over there, while in the west we're tend to be a bit more apprehensive to do that, even though most people would likely agree that they are cults.
>>144540538Molly from Runaways
Damn so Surge is whoring herself?
>>144540094How does this reconcile with mutant rights protests in the US back in 60s? Information control wiping out any info about mutants?
>>144540709compensated dating without the fucking looks like, technically not a whore, just getting money from lonely ojisans
>>144540010Bump for sexy little girls
>>144540031It's just like a typical mean loli corrected by rapey fat incel hentai doujin
>>144540079Is this really that common in Japan?
>>144540100They look exactly like elementary schoolers
>>144540350There is that happy science cult, but aside from that nothing trancendant.
>>144540777They were both alone in a room, it's clear the intent was to fuck at least from the client side.
>>144540082Shocking
>>144540878She did say he is only paying for her time.
>>144540028>PsykersI see Shadow King is a warhammer chad.
>>144540773Nanites in mutant bloodstream blocking their powers.
>>144540100the pacing of these issues doesn't really feel like a full month has passed in story between each issue
>>144540498She was in the previous issue watching Armor's battle with Shadow King Maystorm tried to fry everyone's phones so no one could record it, but Surge just absorbed the electricity and ate it like pop rocks
>>144540878Anon people pay to cuddle these days
>>144540878She didn't let him actually touch herUnlike 616 X-23
>>144541417This comic feels like a weekly manga on a monthly schedule. Which is probably its biggest flaw.
>>144541524At least it's not Kid Venom which is basically a weekly manga but the next chapter got delayed to September for whatever reason
>>144540019Is Japanese bullying as hardcore as they are depicted in media?
>>144540313>The pacing feels really slow like another series could have gotten us here in 2 or three issues but if this is how she wants things to beIt is slow. Ultimate X-Men 01 had a team formed by the first issue
SoU. Spider Man > Ultimates > U. X-men > U. Black PantherIs that it?
>>144541671Nah, its whatever you like the most. But if we compare in terms of speedFastest > Ultimates > USM > UXM = UBP > Slowest
>>144540350>Shoko Asahara's gas attack>Hō-no-Hana Sampōkai>Life Space's frauds>Ho-no-Hana Sanpogyo's scandal>Abe's assassinationA few, yeah
>>144540094So I guess its Ult's version of the brotherhood of evil mutants.
>>144540065>AKURYÔ TAISAN!
>>144540100That was an underwhelming way for them to come up with the name though I guess at least there’s finally a mission statement. The team lineup is still super underwhelming though. And I guess this cult is gonna end up with the name The Brotherhood at some point
>>144540079>>144540082Wait is she hanging out with old men for money
>>144540100The pacing on this is so fucking bad dude like good lord she writes like this isn't monthly
>>144542015Compensated Dating (Papakatsu in slang) is a historical diet version of prostitution, some girls may dare to do it by establishing boundaries, like they are just an escort who aren’t up for sex, until some rich old man offers enough money and they end up having sex anyway.
I'll be reading this later when I have a chance, but have the newest Peach Drop
>>144540006did i like it? someone tell me what to think
>>144542216I've liked the progression of this every month. The gang gets more and more together>>144542222You think it's one of the books of all time
>>144542216She is adding more and more of the girls. Rogue is next I guess.
>>144542225
>>144542227That'd be my guess
>>144542246And with that I gotta run, take care fellow X-Chads
>>144542216I feel absolutely nothing looking at this. This group has no real dynamic outside of Hisako and Mei yet this is gonna be the team. Hell, Natsu and Mori basically only got an invite because they’ve been essentially accessories to Nico. This is not a good team setup
>>144540773Maybe the mutants in Japan went the underground cult route?Knowledge of mutants seems to vary by country in this setting. Magik, her family and staff(Omega Red) are openly mutant celebrities in Russia.We don't know the mutant situation in the US outside of there being protests for mutant rights in the past.
I like it, but this should really be weekly or bi-weekly with this pace.
>>144540088Ultimate Nico Minoru being taller than others cracks me up. She's always so tiny everywhere else.
>>144540006Sex with LGs
>>144540388If it isn't Nico (she's a lesbian in main cont right?) then none of them
>>144540326It's insane to think it's taken FIVE issues to almost get to where most of the other books win the first/second issue, editorial desperately needs to tell her to pick up the pace, like it's crazy the only real acknowledgement of Sunspot and his sect of the shadow government was the poster Noriko spit on and that's it
>>144540388All of them. The cast is entirely Japanese high school girls, it's only a matter of time before they're feeling each other up in the bath.
>>144541671yes, and anyone who says otherwise is a retard
>>144541671No, and anyone who says otherwise is a retard
>>144542271Yeah coming off Ultimates last week this series leaves a lot to be desired
>>144540062Nico is cute when she is afraid.
>>144543113>leaves a lot to be desiredI'll be honest this is the first issue where I was hoping more would be brought up. Like yeah cool that we got new lore info and how people's x-gene is being activated through dark magic. But I really thought a page after Mei and Nico coin the name X-Men and who should join. Idk like a reaction of the rest of the group liking the name. Def hyped myself up for this issue
>>144543164It's been brought up in other threads but it REALLY feels like this was supposed to be it's own separate books in it's own world that got rolled into the Ultimates line
>>144540028I didn't ask for a close up of Surge thigh but ill gladly take it.

All these dark questions and more start to unravel as our heroes investigate a murder that, for some reason, the authorities keep covering up! And Shadow King advances his sinister plots!
>>144543164I think I'll start to be concerned of we get a chunk of the way through the second arc and it's still this story. So around issue 9-10 for me
>>144543306All these variant issues should be used for later issues of this run. I'm only saying this because there are too many damn variant covers.
>>144543306>And don't miss the reveal of the final member of the group on the last page!It's going to be surge isn't it. If issue 8 cover has anything to go off of
>>144543326I'm not concerned persay. I just think I over hyped myself with this issue after reading the synopsis multiple times
>>144543389That's the trick. It's going to be a fan favorite that everyone loves in 616. It's going to be Grobbu Horiuchi
>>144543389Shadow King is on that cover too, and we just confirmed that she is allies with himThey're both probably part of the BrotherhoodAnd Emperor Sunfire has his own faction
>>144543596Maybe I should've added a disclaimer that that I doesn't count for him because he's the antagonist of this whole arc. But I see where your coming from.
>>144543446You're right. It's going to be Glob Herman
At this point I'm all in just to see Maker btfo in a year and a half by never suspecting his enemies would include japanese schoolgirls
>>144543932>include japanese schoolgirlsVery based
>>144543389The cover isn’t really any indication considering that Shadow King is also on it yet the solicits indicate that he’s still the villain
>>144543683Surge seems to be an antagonistic force too
>>144544035I still think they're going to give her House of M story, being adopted by the Sun Emperor
>>144542075brb. moving to Japan now
>>144540100>peolpe here still thinks natsu is a man
>>144543113Just don't think about Ultimates #2 for more than 2 seconds.
>>144540100Girl on the right is absolutely 100% Cyclops
>>144540348>the definitive X-men teamWho fucking cares? It's an alt u.
>>144544545People legitimately forget that this universe was hand crafted by the Maker, and with the exception of storm he altered or eliminated every super and villain of note
>>144543596My guess is that the brotherhood are religious mutant supremacist, while sunfire is there to supress mutants because they pose a threat to Maker's world.
>>144540709Nah she wouldn't even let him touch her leg>>144540773Most info was probably erased and the few mutants that remained became radical
>>144541686Speed has nothing to do with quality so why would we do that?>>144541671It’s still one of the only marvel books I buy, ultimate or otherwise. So I’d put this above the rest. I find Hickman insufferable.
Can old fucks in Japan really spend just some money to be with a little girl for god knows how long? How is this legal?
>>144540058The cerebro made up of spirit tags is fun
Just picked this bad boy up, I'm surprised Peach isn't already a superstar in the industry
>>144545131>Can old fucks in Japan really spend just some money to be with a little girl for god knows how long?Yes. Usually high schoolers. Some do sex and some don't.>How is this legal?It isn't.
>>144544577Doesn’t mean that the team has to be so boring. The Academy X period is filled with C-listers that Maker wouldn’t think twice about that you could build a team out of yet somehow we have only 1 actual X-Men character on the team with the rest of the team being made up of a mix of OCs and Runaways imports
This was definitely a lore issue. I liked it, but next week basically HAS to be a confrontation.
>>144545222She kind of is. The problem is there aren’t really any superstars in the industry but she’s one of the few cartoonists allowed to do both writing and art and her covers are in high demand.
>>144540773In general this book really disconnected from the rest of the new ultimate universe
>>144545946UBP is really disconnected as well. It's basically a 616 book
>all of the ad pages are just of other marvel productsThe industry is really that bad, isn't it
>>144546107Anon where have you been for like 15 years? They haven’t had anything but house ads for at least that long
>>144545957It’s at least dealing with part of Maker’s council. This one won’t even begin to touch on the happenings of this universe until issue 8
>>144546107why pay thousands of dollars for an ad in comics when i can pay some youtuber with a couple thousand subs $100 and get the same amount of eyes on the ad?
Marvel's best book.
Maker is a weaboo.
>>144547447He's just like me UwU
How Peach's gonna introduce Rogue in all of this Brotherhood nonsense?
>>144547611She's going to show up randomly and everyone is going to act like she's always been there
>>144546921By any major publisher.*
>>144547611I mean "mutant who leaves the Brotherhood to join the X-Mwn" is kinda her origin
Ok, I liked this X-l0lies book. The thing is, this comic would never be called Ultimate X-men but I understand the marketing reasons.If this comic was made for gurls, someone in Marvel's office scored.>>144544577>exception of stormFear of the cancel culture.
Such a slow burn of a book. Awful.BUMP
>>144548145it's feels like 2024 runaways except they're mutants.
>>144543306It's weird seeing the girls in different styles
>>144540079As much as this is a manga-minded book, I did NOT expect the teenage schoolgirl prostitute trope to show up. And Marvel to let it happen.
>>144548333Did it take the runaways this long to run away?
>>144541671Nah stuff is actually starting to happen in Black Panther so I'd say it's ahead of X-Men but on just barely
>>144548643I mean, when X-23 was added to the main continuity she was a child prostitute too
>>144540114I'm pretty it's just a school logo, CM is already dead in this universe
>>144544519They showed off a bunch covers for future Ultimate titles and the X men one showed her shooting a laser through her singular eye, so yeah
>>144540044My wife
>>144550518Another Midas, simping for a lesbian.
>>144550550It's a whole new universe, I can still hope
I like this book, but it would be so much better if it was bi-weekly or the story got cut in half. It has so much manga decompression except manga is 20 pages weekly/40 pages per month.
What a great book
i like it.
is that enjo kousai?>>144540082>>144540079
>>144548643>I did NOT expect the teenage schoolgirl prostitute trope to show up. And Marvel to let it happen.go read NYX
the monthly schedule is killing this book quite honestly
is it sad that i dont want this to tie into the other ultimate books? its so different
My girl finna get her shine soon
>>144540105i like these post issue bonus pages, feels like manga
>>144551572who dat?
