ultimo

[#1 Xemnas]

has anyone read this? Shonen Jump released the prologue to it in their September 2008 issue. yeah, it's a long time ago. it's a kind of combination between Shaman King's Hiroyuki Takei and Marvel comics Stan Lee. The prologue looks pretty amazing. it's about two artifially created boys. Ultimo, who was created as "perfect good" and Vice, who was created as "perfect evil by a man known as Dr. Dunstan(who strangely looks abit like Stan Lee). They have strange abilities known as "NOH" which i think has something to do with non hesitating hearts. Anyway, the story is about an endless war between them. that was not a full sentence.

so, does anyone know anything about this? did i say too much? i'm betting yes.

Yea I read this a while back. The pilot didn't really get me hooked but, the artwork was nice considering this is from Shaman King creator. You can read it here:

I hear the series is supposed to start in March.

Oh yeah, I read chapter 0 when it was first released.

Didn't really get me going. It was an alright story but with amazing art.

So really...I might just re-read Shaman King if I want a better story with amazing art.

I might give it a try though.
