Anyone else on the CL reading this series? I must say I've enjoyed it so far.

I enjoyed the first volume, but I haven't followed the vampire arc.

Is New Ultimates the one by Loeb? The only reason I'd really want to read it is for Ultimate T'Challa.

Yes, in the current arc he is mute but also has an adamantium skeleton. The rest of the team is Hawkeye, Cap, Ka-Zar & Shanna, Thor, Carol Danvers (no powers) & iron Man.

In this case, no I haven't read Ultimate Avengers nor do I intend to read it in the foreseeable future.

I did read Ultimate Thor # 1, though. I enjoyed it. Nothing fancy, but interesting enough for me to pick up # 2.

The New Ultimates have been surprisingly enjoyable too. I just love the way Thor is visually depicted. My only gripe has been a lack of the New Defenders after the opening issue.

So, has anything major happened in the Ult universe since Ultimatum? I haven't touched a single Ultimate comic since Loeb killed everyone.

Millar's run gave him some epic feats (such as taking out/dodging the new squad), but I haven't read Loeb's work. I heard he had TIGRA dodge Ultimate Hawkeye, and Cap's shield was cut in half. Honestly, I REALLY liked Loeb's one-shot origin of Black Panther, so he's the only reason I'd read the run...And it sounds like he isn't playing a big role, anyway.

Ultimate Armor Wars by Warren Ellis, and the Red Skull/Ghost Rider stories in Ultimate Comics Avengers by Millar were good.

Regarding Hawkeye, It was actually Hellcat who's been powered up by Loki. He did manage to shoot Nighthawk thru the eye while still engaged with Hellcat.
T'Challa actually has small adamantium claws and in his short appearances has been pretty bad ass.

Well, Ultimate Hawkeye still had feats which shouldn't make her that big of an issue, IMO. He tagged an in-motion Hulk who was moving well over 100mph, toyed with Spider-man, and much more. But yeah, T'Challa had the small adamantium claws in Loeb's previous work, too. I think he's a cool character and I hope he gets some time in the spotlight.

Yeah she just looks just like Tigra. LOL
To be fair, he and Iron Man were battling the New Defenders in a 5 on 2 skirmish until the other Ultimates arrived.
