Anyway, I never read Countdown although I have seen scans of it here and on Linkara's EPIC 4 part review on thatguywiththeglasses.com, but I did read all of Ultimatum and while I think it's heavily flawed I just don't hate it as much as other people. I did think there was good character moments in it, mainly involving Wolverine, and the art was pretty good. Overall I'm still looking forward to all the new Ultimate books and if I really like them they may end up being the only books I get in singles format.
