I thought it was a good first issue, definitely better than Inheritors

2015-03-16 03:14:53 +0000 UTCThe page space limit made me get Jess with the person she has most chemistry with: Kitty, which she has a huge canon girl-crush on. For me, Lana is just a force of nature. She's all about getting her urges satisfied. Tandy and Ty, unfortunately, had to be left as guest stars. I managed to have them orbiting around semi-naked, but there's jut so much I can fit into 8 pages. =) Spidercest is resuming soon. And when that happens, there should be a steady frequency of releases coming right after.

2015-03-06 14:02:20 +0000 UTCIt was good, but nothing too interesting. Miles is something of a non-character who gets repeatedly inserted into Peter's plots, and the ANU never worked as a story. If I had some nitpicks it's that the group doesn't even see Tandy strip (hey Kitty ponied up) and that Lana has no interaction with Jess (despite their chemistry). The best part (Jess pairing up with Kitty) only reminded me of the greatness of Spidercest, and how much the Ultimate Universe used to rule. Here's hoping Jess goes and finds Lori Baumgartner to draw Lana's ire.

2015-03-06 04:23:49 +0000 UTCThanks! I actually think Miles and Lana will outlive the end of the Ultimate World. I hope Lana and Kitty make the crossing too. Not to mention Gwen, MJ and Ult. Pete. We'll see it when Secret Wars end.

2015-03-06 02:17:45 +0000 UTCOf this month's two releases, I preferred Ultimates to Inheritors. It felt more true to the source material, and had more sex. Would have been fun to see how the rest played out, but I understand why you cut it where you did, and at least we have the next Spidercest coming up to see Lana get fucked in the ass like she deserves. (Although her getting DP'd by Miles and Cloak would have been a lot of fun to see here.) This comic made me realize that if the Ultimate universe really is ending, I'm gonna miss Lana and Jess the most.

2015-03-06 02:11:54 +0000 UTCGlad to hear you speaking so openly about what you liked and what sounded off to you. My comics try to resonate things that happen on the actual comics. The Spidercest main series happens at least a couple of years before the Ultimates story. And Miles/Jess first time happened somewhen in the middle of that. A lot of water went after those bridges. Lana always had a really foul mouth and when she says that to Miles, is in no way more aggressive than calling Jess a clonie or Kitty a mutie. That's not raceplay. She's equally agressive towards everyone. About the end of Spidercest #7, you'll see things did not end that sweetly after issue #8 comes out (pretty soon, now). But that attitude was more about Jess beating her to something than some past issues they might had. Lana is a hardcase. But she got to terms by the end of this issue (at least it seems that way). Thanks again for the feedback. My comics are in now way perfect, but by being open and honest you guys help me do better stories.

2015-03-05 23:27:46 +0000 UTCI have... I don't want to say mixed feelings. Because my response was mostly positive. I love Autumn's art. And Ty and Tandy are adorbs. I also loved that Jess and Kitty grew the relationship that began in Spidercest. But other things were confusing. Since when did Lana and Jess have issues? They seemed pretty friendly at the end of last Spidercest: is this something that comes from the comics? I admit, of all the characters, Lana is the one I know least, so I have no idea if she usually has an attitude. And then there was... 'homie boy'. Not only is Miles as far from a 'homie' as Barack Obama, it feels a little weird to have someone say it, even if Lana is a firespitter. One of the things that never came up in our discussion of kinks was 'raceplay', mostly because due to recent events, the topic of interracial kink doesn't really feel safe. I'm not saying it was offensive, just... jarring. But overall, this was great smut, and I loved the end, when Tandy defies expectations, and decides it would turn her on to share Ty with the other girls. Her expression is delightful, and I can't wait to see part two.

2015-03-05 23:16:44 +0000 UTCThanks for the honest feedback. About Miles, actually there's a really big time difference between those two comics. I try to make them canon in that way so, there's been at least 2 years between them. He even looks older. Miles lost his mother, fought in the Civil War, retired, came back, saw the end of the world (at least twice) and now is filling the shoes for the real Ultimates. But it's nice to know you felt that. It was my intention after all. Thanks again!

2015-03-05 19:57:49 +0000 UTCReally like it! The Lana-Miles thing was very hot, specially from Lana. Then, Kitty and Jessica were awesome, and I loved the part were the two of them did the double blowjob. Oh yeah, Kitty's powers are awesome for this things. In the other hand... I didn't recognize Miles. I don't know, in the previous comic he was more Miles, more inoccent and, well, a teen. Here... What a change! It's something good, yeah, but It doesn't seem like Miles. Maybe it's only me. Anyways, I can't wait for the second part with Cloak and Dagger in a mega orgy. Excellent job one more time, Tracy! ;)
