If you have yet to explore the Ultimates - here's your chance. Ultimates Omnibus drops today, and it's probably the best $99 bucks you'll spend on comics in a long time. It collects Ultimates V1, Ultimates V2, the 2 annuals, and TOTALLY IGNORES Ultimates 3 (thank God!). Here's the official pitch:
Is even an Omnibus big enough to contain Millar and Hitch's widescreen super-hero epic?! They are the greatest heroes the world has ever known: Captain America, Iron Man, Thor, the Wasp, Giant Man, Hawkeye, the Black Widow, Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch! Brought together by Nick Fury, head of the elite espionage agency known as S.H.I.E.L.D., the Ultimates are Earth's last line of defense against a rising storm of strange new threats to humanity -- menaces such as the rampaging monster known as the Hulk, and an army of shape-shifting aliens bent on destroying the world and killing all humankind. But just as they begin to get comfortable in their roles as international celebrities and America's champions, things get hard! Can the Ultimates survive the Hulk's execution, Thor's imprisonment -- and the advent of the Ultimate Defenders?! The world's greatest heroes are in for the battle of the century -- and not all of them will be walking away! Collecting ULTIMATES #1-13, ULTIMATES 2 #1-13, ULTIMATES ANNUAL #1 and ULTIMATES 2 #1 VARIANT SKETCH EDITION.
One last word about Omnibuses ("Omnibi"?) - they tend to go out of print. New X-men and Captain America Omnis are going for well over their cover price. So if you are going to pick this up, don't delay.

If you're looking for hot ladies in spandex, then you'll probably want to pick up Gotham City Sirens #1. It seems like both the majors are pushing "girl power", which is fine by me (Marvel will launch their "Divas" title in July). So - which cover is hotter then?

Finally today, we've got another crossover event - X-men vs. Dark Avengers in Utopia #1.
The Dark Avengers take on the Uncanny X-Men! Kicking off the 6-part crossover event, rising star Matt Fraction (Uncanny X-Men, Invincible Iron Man) is joined by X-artist supreme Marc Silvestri (X-Men: Messiah Complex, Civil War: The Initiative One-Shot) to bring you a story that shakes the foundations of the Marvel Universe.
When mutant riots break out in San Francisco, Norman Osborn declares martial law and sends the Dark Avengers in to quell the riots and take down the X-Men. And that's just the tip of the iceberg.
I'm going in cautiously optimstic - it could be cool, but in reality these events rarely deliver on the promise to "shake the foundations" of any Universe.
