My Secret Holiday Project: Ultimate Exile
Every once in a while, I get a crazy idea that doesn't involve mixing vodka, hot sauce, and bacon grease. And I tend to get extra creative over the holidays. Sure, some of them end up with a turkey being deep fried in a garbage can that sets the deck on fire, but some are less destructive. A while back, I reviewed Cataclysm: The Ultimates' Last Stand #2. It's the first Ultimate story that hasn't made me want to violently vomit out my internal organs. In that issue, this particular scene inspired me.
Now I don't know how Cataclysm is going to end or how many characters Marvel will horribly butcher. But seeing as how Ultimate has a way of setting new standards for pissing people off, I decided to tell my own little story. It's just a one-shot that I'm did in addition to my work on X-men Supreme. So however Cataclysm ends, at least I can have this.
Enjoy! If you like it, please tell me. If you hate it, tell me too. I'm a drunk. I'm used to harsh criticism. And if I get a good enough response, maybe I'll make more shit like this. Depends on whether or not I get more crazy ideas. Nuff said!

Awesome! AWESOME creative 'happy ending' for Scott and exiled Jean. Too bad Marvel never creates what so many would like to see happen. You even referenced both Nates as Scott's son which I felt very connective and interesting. A true fan of both Cable and XMan. Just wish Marvel would use Nate Grey as creative as they do Cable. He would be a good fit on Cyclops current team considering his slow nerve healing condition of power set last seen in New Mutants. A former omega level mutant with a gradual telepathy and TK definitely could use some coaching and conditioning. Cable on the other hand is being used quite profound and interesting in the XForce title.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your kind words! I really appreciate it. I also doubt that Marvel would ever do something like this. They'll gladly show cannibalism, incest, rape, and child abuse. But they'll never do something like THIS. I don't know why. Maybe I'm too drunk to understand, but I still think it's bullshit.
