Ultimates #40

May 19, 2009

Sesso, bugie e dvd #4 (Sex, Lies and Dvd #4, da Ultimates 3 #4 dell’agosto 2008). Esistono al mondo dei misteri inesplicabili. Misteri che tutti gli studiosi, i filosofi, gli alchimisti, gli psicologi e gli analisti del mondo non riuscirebbero a risolvere. Uno di questi misteri è Jeph Loeb. Perché a quest’uomo vengono affidate testate e serie importanti? Perché gli viene consentito di scrivere? Un motivo, da qualche parte, deve pur esserci. Eppure giuro che a leggere la sua roba proprio non ne traspare nemmeno un’ombra. Questo ennesimo episodio di Ultimates è la fiera dell’inutilità, nonché probabilmente l’ultima volta che compro l’albo. Denaro buttato. Al confronto, persino Ultimate Human di Ellis con Hulk si lascia quasi leggere.

Well, this was a fairly unusual read for me in this period, I’m more in my sci-fi era, but good things come from good friends who gift you books you wouldn’t have bought: they usually help you discover something cool you didn’t know. What I
