Morrison's "Ultra Comics" issue of Multiversity itself pointed out that the name "Ultra" had been used more than once but I forget if he included only two references to it or even more. For me, and I think for Morrison, that was most strongly a reference to Ultraa from Earth Prime. So maybe, since Ultrawar was an allegory for things in the real world, it fits. My guess is that Morrison didn't intend this but would find it a neat connection if he read your comment!Rikdadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14475851964933197612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2404509015791000032.post-53554113176799805252021-03-30T18:52:52.805-07:002021-03-30T18:52:52.805-07:00Do you think there is a connection between Ultra f...Do you think there is a connection between Ultra from Multiversity and the Ultrawar?

I look forward to picking up some new comics and seeing what's clicking in the new era. I haven't seen a Bendis issue yet that I didn't like, though I haven't blogged about his work yet.Rikdadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14475851964933197612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2404509015791000032.post-37591082320678617532021-03-17T00:45:43.835-07:002021-03-17T00:45:43.835-07:00There were certainly similar elements, and for goo...There were certainly similar elements, and for good reason. However, I think Morrison was a lot more specific in calling out the problems here than in Multiversity. I have yet to catch up on GM's WW.

It's been a hell of a journey, and I can only hope we can enter a new renaissance of DC Comics sometime in the foreseeable future.

I dug this run overall, and most of my problems with it had more to do with Sharp's storytelling than with Morrison's writing, but I think Morrison ended up re-hashing ideas from his previous DC works, knowingly or not.<br /><br />We still have incredibly old and powerful entities trying to make the DC universe more desolate for their own benefit just like Mandraak and the Gentry, and while the Ultrawar concept felt intriguing at first, it ended up being another weapon created by old gods to make sentient beings fight among themselves, just like Mageddon.<br /><br />Honesty, out of the two big Morrison finales that DC released last week, I was more impressed with Wonder Woman: Earth One Vol. 3.Thiago FLShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01713310155848968315noreply@blogger.com
