I picketed up a strange book called The Saviors. It seems like a pretty cool invasion story featuring a stoner. Would recommend to anyone burned out by Big2 superhero stuff.
In the Ultimate U they broke up after Reed neglected Sue due to his obsession with Dr Doom, Johnny took off to hang with Peter Parker after his dad died, Sue took over the Baxter Building (think tank for under-age geniuses), and Ben joined SHIELD After killing Doom. Eventually Reed's depression, his constantly evolving intellect, and desire to build a perfect world turned him into a villain and he's now responsible for the destruction of Asgard and the absorbtion of most of northern Europe into a futuristic hive-mind.
Why hasn't someone put Ultimate out of its misery already? Are they trying to get worse than Alan Moore's recent work?
I don't think the current management of Marvel knows how to properly handle the FF or Spider-Man to be honest.
