I liked the issue quite a bit. Over-analyzing the politics is kind of pointless--any look at a UN Security Council vote would show just how incredibly bizarre the relationships are, especially when each has its own agenda. The 'persons of mass destruction' angle is certainly interesting, and rather than socio-ecocomic commentary (which is probably not Ultimates demongraphic target anyway), you get a thin line from which to hang yet another wide-screen battle royal (which probably is the target).
I'm looking forward to 11...

AND they supposedly reduced issue 12 to a regular-sized issue (it was supposed to be DOUBLE-sized), and they've added an issue 13. At this rate, already being as late as it is, we'll only read the end of the story in freakin' NOVEMBER.

Honestly. I'm savoring the wait. Anything to push back Jeph Loeb and Joe Mad coming on this title for as long as possible, I'm down with...

THIS JUST IN: Instead of being bi-monthly, Ultimates will now become bi-yearly.

^Yeah, but now it's official. 
But seriously, this 3-4 month wait between issues sucks. Especially since, according to the "Bible Code", WWIII is starting the last week of July this year, when Jerusalem is nuked by Iran or by Iranian terrorists, which means that we'll never get to see issues 12 and 13!

Yep, it's definitively coming out June 14th. About f***ing time, I remember that back in 2005, it was originally supposed to come out January 18th of this year. Bloody hell.

Also: Betty Ross, Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver have a three-way! And Hulk joins in! But since he lost his penis, he uses his fist! Poor Quicksilver! All that and more, June 21st (or September 2007, latest)!

It's Hulk. Hulk came back, and now he's grayish-green, and has Bruce Banner's intellect. Am I the only one who has a logistics problem with the Hulk wearing jeans?

Special stretch denim jeans.
Clearly this issue follows on from the very very late Hulk/Wolverine series.
It doesn't matter, quality is worth waiting for, they crank out Ultimate Spiderman like clockwork and it's getting unreadable.

first reading...
"America Strikes Back"...qua? More like a bitchslap. We get a cover with the big 3, yet they don't do much of anything.
Wha? That's all I get of Thor? FUCK!
"Laura! LAURA!" Why? Completely unnecessary, specially with what happens later.
"There's one option we haven't considered..." Yeah, but he's in Tibet, no?
How the hell did they steal a chopper without being noticed? No sense of time passing...WEAK...
I love Hawkeye, but where's he keeping all those arrows, up his ass? Good to see him tho', and the look on his face when he says "no such luck..."; you can feel how broken he is.
Colonel, while I respect what you've gone through, you're gonna catch a whuppin'.
Wait a sec...uh-uh...NO! Last I saw of him he was sittin' pretty in Tibet, 'bout to tear Wolvie in twain. "One hand"? Clearly two.
2nd reading...
I'd give my right nut and one of my bitch tits to draw like Hitch. The reflection of Thor, 1st panel, page 2...damn.
Anger subsiding over Dubya...he looks kinda funny. Kinda rootin' for the Liberators, beheading Bush on national TV might make me spring for cable.
Ok, so Cappy n' Jan n' Hawkeye are only lookin' to spring Fury, Ross, Wanda and Quicksilver, no? So why would napping Bush be of any concern to them? Did they even know, or care? I wanna see 'ol one arm Fury vengeance, dammit!
All right, I'll bite and buy Banner's return, albeit grudgingly...but if you're gonna tie your shit together, fucking get the books out in time.
So I guess issue 12 is all out get some then?

I figure issue 12 is coming out late August/early September (if we're lucky), and issue 13 in November, maybe. Or everything could be delayed until 2007. Ultimate Wolverine versus Hulk 3 has already been pushed back until 2008 or 2009.

Yeah, that "one hand" thing was stupid, since he clearly used BOTH hands (Hulk or no Hulk, there's NO WAY that you can tear something in half with just one hand).

And the waiting begins.
Glad to see that Loeb and co. are already working on vol. 3 + 4 at the same time. Hopefully they can avoid all the shipping delays that plagued this book.

They probably won't be any delay, because the stories probably won't be as finely crafted. Note that they're already shitting out Vol. 3 and 4 simultaneously.
I want to be optimistic, but having seen some preview sketches in Wizard, I'm not holding out much hope. PLEASE let me be proven wrong.

Sad thing is, according to the "Bible Code" and to other prophecies and prediction systems, WWIII is gonna start August 4th (or 5th, latest) 2006, when Israel is nuked by Iran, so we'll never get to read issues 12 and 13 after all.
