277. Ultimate Avengers vol 3 #1 ... Marvel ...

Okay - we know we skipped the second volume but heck it was with more gun-toting people and that artist. Yes, sometimes that artist produces awesome work but usually very rush work. That's why we do not want to mention names here but volume 3 has Steve Dillon on interiors and Steve about rocks it even though his work is clean lines and almost cartoonish style with nearly one angle view

Right

Volume 3 is all about the vampires. So we start off with Daywalker Blade whose sole mission in life is to track down and kill vampires and what an opening sequence we have. He is in a hotel room shagging while being attacked by vampires. Naturally he goes all ninja/ samurai blade on them chop-chopping everyone to pieces while learning that there is a new vampire boss in town

Similarly switch to the other guy on the cover. We find a new young blind teen taken under the wing of Stick to be the next DD as apparently the original died (say what?!?!?!?) ... however, instead of getting more into this new DD, well, he lost it before he even got a whole issue out. We kid you not. Like we said earlier, this is the  Ultimate - verse where nothing is sacred and people who die generally do not make a comeback

So where do the Avengers come in? Well they take a backseat in this issue except with them being assembled to investigate what the fuck is going on and to see Cap now working with Fury and team ... now for me that's stretching it especially after what happened in vol 1 eh?
