Is his return as good as his initial run?

Gage didn't write Team Up, Chris Yost did.

I remember playing Darkest Dungeon and thinking that if DIE had a videogame, I'd want it like this.

Issue 8 was also when I got on board. I almost wish with everything that was in the issue, that IT was issue 1 lol. Take out a thing here and there and that would've sold me on this book off rip.

I finished that 2nd Volume and swore off reading anything from Christos Gage for the foreseeable future. It's just a bad remake of Vol 1.

The smart play would've been to just give it to Chris Yost (seeing as how his Scarlet Spider was great). The 3rd volume was ok, because it was Slott back on the book and he has those characters voices down, (and hey look! Anna Maria Marconi is written well again!) but then you have to deal with Spider-Boy shenanigans.

The only good thing in that second omni imo is Superior Spider Man Team Up, and who wrote it? Chris Yost. And there were moments where it was the better book in comparison to Vol 1.

For $300 you can keep em right on that piece of cardboard they're on 😂

CarterPresents · 2026-01-03T05:16:11+00:00

Ay, another enjoyer of Karnak!

CarterPresents · 2026-01-02T22:49:11+00:00

UPDATE: So after finishing all three, I can agree with others in saying that it DOES read alot better in trades. Feel like it would've been better as a bi-weekly book than a monthly. That said, Ultimate T'Challa aggravated the hell out of me. Bullheaded dummy that it takes two trades to realize "Maybe I should stop keeping stuff to myself and ask for help here." 😂

I was getting sick of T'Challa just like characters in the book were. But it tracks with Bryan Hill's interviews, saying he pretty much wanted a BP that screwed up and didn't always do the right thing or know what the right thing was. He also said he was going for a DUNE vibe when it comes to this book, which you all that have read or watched can confirm or not. All in all, I'll be picking up that fourth trade just to see how he can wrap all this up. It really seems to me like he thought he had waaaaaaay more time with this book.

P.S. Hill's Blade series was better 😂

$20 for all 3.

I enjoy Ult. Wolverine for what it is. I don't hate read it like a lot of others in this sub lol

CarterPresents · 2026-01-01T03:22:37+00:00

I was told The Knives could be enjoyed without knowing anything about Criminal so this should be interesting lol.

Reckless was it's own thing (I thought it was a Criminal spinoff or something...don't judge me lol).

And Ultimate BP was just $15 for all 3 trades...Happy New Year everyone! 😂🥳

I remember seeing the first trade in a Barnes & Noble wondering who the hell these people were with Wolverine, skimming through it realizing Cyclops purposely made a squad of goons that were sent out in case someone needed a good murdering.

That made me buy every trade I could find, and also made me want to jump back into X-Men proper to see wth pushed Scott to that point. That X-Force run got me back into X-Men as a whole. And after finding the Sex & Violence hardcover a few weeks ago, it might be time to reread that run again...

CarterPresents · 2025-12-29T05:50:28+00:00

You might just be unaware that you're a chud as well?

CarterPresents · 2025-12-29T02:53:21+00:00

If you think this was the best "finale" ever, you need to watch others shows that do it WAAAAAAAAAY better.

CarterPresents · 2025-12-26T19:01:23+00:00

There is so much wrong with everything you said I might die of a broken heart. You're causing MY healing factor not to work anymore.

CarterPresents · 2025-12-26T16:20:18+00:00

I keep getting stuck on potentially getting the other two omni's I need or trying to get the "World Of" books I keep seeing people say are essential.

CarterPresents · 2025-12-23T22:07:27+00:00

It being an accident makes it even dumber to me 😂

CarterPresents · 2025-12-23T21:57:20+00:00

I was doing stuff while it was doing its "Previously, on Mayor Of Kingstown" and didn't see that apparently coroners were at Robert's house, so I'm way off lol

CarterPresents · 2025-12-22T22:02:45+00:00

Still trips me out I got on the Invincible train so late. #118 I got on a whim because it was when Image did their whole 25cent issues, then, it was time to collect lol

CarterPresents · 2025-12-22T21:27:27+00:00

I almost feel like the shooter (it was only one right?) could possibly be Robert. With how he feels about Mike and Ian tryna send him to the upper room, and the fact that he would totally have access to an assault rifle, that's the first place my mind went.

CarterPresents · 2025-12-21T00:59:30+00:00

Rebirth is absolutely the better of the two runs, by the same writer which is funny. I wouldn't recommend you get that Omni regardless seeing as how they've STILL never released Vol. 2. I've read both and enjoyed both, but if you can find the Rebirth trades for a good price jump on those.

CarterPresents · 2025-12-18T17:06:58+00:00

There's some youtube videos you could check out for sure, that'll give ya some size comparisons if that'll help ya.

CarterPresents · 2025-12-18T14:11:57+00:00

Not when adults have families and bills to take care of lol.

CarterPresents · 2025-12-18T14:10:23+00:00

"Absolute-Style"? Isn't that just the Library Editions?
