That's actually a great point. For both the quality is really all over the place. I did like new 52 a lot more at first, but it sure fell off a cliff. On the other hand I didn't like anything from ultimate except spider-man.
Yep. This isn't even a fair comparison.
Agreed here, particularly with this version of Swamp Thing. New52 was pretty good, especially if you gravitated outside of Superman books.I never read Ultimate Marvel, but some of the lows I've heard seem worse than the lows of New52. New52 certainly had issues but also had some solid stories and interesting relaunches (loved the Animal Man/Swamp Thing stuff, stuff like Demon Knights was super fun, and Justice League Dark had a great premise but kind of an awful reality). The worst thing about New52 was that certain characters were knocked away from what made them work and it took way too long to get them back to normal. It also sucked losing Stephanie Brown and Cassandra Cain but I absolutely adored them getting back in Batman Eternal so at least they were brought back with a bang.

There it is.
You carry on a legacy of great first posts. Basically my feelings exactly.
Ultimate had some really bad stuff, but yeah, it was "extra". New 52 was all DC had for a while, and it took me out of DC comics till today
I didn't like anything in Ultimate outside of USM and a few bits and pieces of UXM. But it wasn't a big deal because I could just hop to 616 to get my Marvel fix. Aquaman and Batman were the only parts of n52 I liked, and I was shit out of luck otherwise because that became the main continuity.I mean Ultimate Marvel had creepy and edgy shit, which is why its worse to me
