Even worse than Ultimatum. That is all.
So then went and did it, and did a bloody event across all their books like the normal Marvel universe! Why would they do that, it's one of the reasons the Ultimate universe was better. Anyways they sort of made it up, with the mind blowing and wonderful well thought out Requiem for ...Spider-Man! A Five Star read! 10 out of 12!The Ultimate Fantastic Four requiem is pretty good, but the Ultimate X-men one, which you'd think would be the best considering Ultimatum's cause, is the weakest. 9 out o...
Very Good.I think I may have missed a large chunk of the Ultimate Universe Story.I must go back and find the holes.This has been a fun ride.
A massive improvement over Ultimatum. Because it's the Ultimate universe, Ultimatum could have repercussions that 616 events could only dream of, and this is the first opportunity to see those effects. The Spider-Man is very good, as Bendis's work on Ultimate Spider-Man almost always was. The X-Men and Fantastic Four parts are both decently written, if not spectacular. They do the job. The X-Men book is more focused on the mourning by those left behind. The X-Men were especially hard hit during
Decent stories. The spidey story by Bendis is heartfelt and worth reading on its own. The others might be great too, but I haven't kept up with those Ultimate books so I was not only confused but also somewhat indifferent to their plights.
I've come to terms with the fact that Marvel let Jeph Loeb - a writer whose work I used to enjoy - all but destroy the Ultimate Marvel Universe and kill off half of its characters. I'm not happy about it, but I think there's a light at the end of the tunnel. That light became clearer after reading Ultimatum Requiem.Whatever your feelings about Ultimatum TPB, Ultimatum Requiem is a necessary postscript, and a touching one at that. It essentially looks at the aftermath of Ultimatum and sets the st...
This volume does its best to answer the questions (or gaping plot holes) left by Ultimatium, and mostly succeeds in giving us stories with more heart then the crossover that spawned it. The only downside is that you need to read the shitty Ultimatium story to get this and lets be honest, its just not worth it folks.
"and that in the end, because of these choices, this man-child will now stand among our greatest heroes." This TPB consisted of 4 comics, 1x Fantastic Four, 1x X-Men and 2x Spider-Man. The Fantastic Four issue was good, filled in a lot of blanks through the whole of Ultimatum, what the characters were up to when not on the pages. The X-Men story was OK, provided a little closure for the students but it was a bit clumsy, and posed more questions then resolution, but Kitty getting back Logans f
Puts a nice wrap on this chapter of the Ultimate Universe.
An excellent send off for Ultimate Spider-Man collected long with a dull send-off for Ultimate Fantastic Four and Ultimate X-Men.The collection is worth is just for Bendis's Ultimate Spider-Man Requiem. Feel free to skp the others.
More Ultimatum garbage, with mostly terrible art to boot. Just do yourselves a favor and avoid anything to do with Ultimatum, simple as that.
In this epilogue, Bendis almost redeems the terrible Ultimatum crossover by Jeph Loeb, but I'm afraid the damage is done. The Spider-Man arc is heartfelt and touching, but the others left me cold. The X-characters (with their ever-shifting alliances and loyalties) are hopelessly confusing, and I stopped caring about the Fantastic Four volumes ago.
I haven't been following the ultimate universe, so I didn't have a lot invested in the characters. It was mostly amusing to see a-listers getting knocked off left and right.[second reading, 8/7/21]having read a bunch more stuff in the ultimate universe, I continue to be impressed with the dedication of the writers to creating a linear story throughout with no backsies.
Spider-Man, Fantastic Four and X-Men, What Could Possibly Go Wrong? Right? Famous last words because there's plenty wrong. Even though Aron E. Coleite does a marvelous job filling the gaps left by Jeph Loeb, there's no way to save this sinking ship.Ultimatum is the worst storyline in the Ultimate Comics universe. Plain and simple.
AHHH. IT'S OVER. :C5 stars because it's the last one and there was so much sass.The ending was pretty much perfect and everything was wrapped up well.But for some reason the version I was reading didn't have the X-Men and Fantastic Four crossovers, and now I'm slightly confused and I need to find them.
I'd give the two issues of Ultimate Spider-Man included here four stars and the Ultimate Fantastic Four close to it. But for me the Ultimate X-Men issue drags it down, but then I haven't been a big X-Men fan (Ultimate or Uncanny, etc.) for decades.This wraps up events following the Ultimatum Wave which destroyed Manhattan (and can I assume the other boroughs. along with parts of New Jersey were also affected? I have family there!). We see and hear of the deaths of several heroes. Some of whom ev...
3 stars for the spidey issues, 2.5 for the FF, X-Men to be read...
What a recovery. Yes, Ultimatum blew and we're left with lots of crap from said event, but that's not this volumes fault and I won't hold what came before against this volume.All of the series are wrapped up nicely here, with the exception that yes some of the Ultimatum crap is out there but these issues wrap up their perspective series really well. The Fantastic Four of the Ultimate line are no more. They split up which defines hem as completely different from their 616 counterparts. The X-Men
This book wraps up some of the loose ends left over by the Marvel Ultimate series.It includes stories from Spiderman, X-men and the Fantastic Four.Good art and a fair story.Will probably only appeal to those seeking a bit more from the Ultimate series.NotesIncludes several obituaries of those that died at the end of this series.Learning CurveModerate: Knowledge of the series would be helpful.Reading OrderRead after Ultimatum
The Ultimate universe gets wrapped out (to a degree) in this volume. It started with so much promise and ability, but as it regressed into little more than a pale shadow of the 616 Universe, I lost interest. This volume did nothing to make me want to seriously pick it up, but did enough to make me at least Wikipedia-level interested.
