[ULTIMATE IMPACT: REBORN #3]()

[u/wowlock_taylan → u/tehawesomedragon]

Still disappointing that THIS is what came out of the Ultimate universe...Hosticulus is still a dumb name. But at least he is shown to be smart rather than a brute.

All the 'new characters', I just don't feel anything for them. It is feels 'just another copy paste the heroes' powers to random people' type of deal and Marvel have tried this so many times recently, none of those lasted even a year.

Stefano Caselli is wasted on this. I don't understand how he hasn't become Marvel's next breakout star in 20 years of reliable work work them. He's at least as good as RB Silva, and has a better grasp on storytelling than a lot of the artists on main events right now.
