Still loving it! But now I'm sad because I'm out of comics. I just ordered 6-9 though, so more reviews to come.

This story line is stupid. Like why are the Ultimates so keen on going to war. Are you that bored? Also, if someone is trying to be your ally and fix a mistake that they made, maybe you should consider it?

This was a really good addition to the series. Normally the fighting between one group of heroes and another seems too fabricated, but here in this series and with the fact that mutants still haven't developed a really good long-term reputation, it actually made quite a lot of good sense. The battle between the two groups was very well-executed and it was impressive to see them standoff against each other. Especially considering that the Avengers are the ones who've gotten all the movies and mad...

Loved this X-Men and Ultimates story line. You can't get better than Magneto being a completely savage zealot and the good guys bickering and fighting one another before taking the self-righteous madman on. The only thing I didn't totally love was the art. It was good, but at times, the main characters looked damn odd.

I'm a huge fan of the X-men but have had mixed reactions while revisiting this series. Here begins Millar's final year on this title and his penultimate volume and it actually is a lot of fun. Magneto is back, the Ultimates (this Universe's version of the Avengers) think Xavier and the X-men are behind his return and that they're all in cahoots. This sets up several moving parts and creates an exciting, propulsive plot. The art is magnificent and this was a fun book.

This is the best volume of Ultimate X-Men yet. It has the tightest scripting and plotting yet, even if this is really just a prologue to the big event in the next volume. But overall, Millar is very prone to the great stumbling block of the Ultimate universe as a whole: he's so busy beating us over the head with how much "edgier" these characters are than the ones we know that they don't really become their own people. And given when this was written, for "edgy" read "jackass".

This Captain America just flies off the handle all the time. On the other hand, why does Nick Fury hate mutants?And the whole thing where Professor X only keeps "mutant minds" online and ignores the Wasp (even though his mindreading powers should see through the whole thing)? It worked when I read it, but definitely not on reconsideration.The one thing this book sells well is that Magneto and Professor X are leagues stronger than everyone else. That kind of gets lost in the main books where the

Well, I certainly wasn't hoping for 3/4 issues of this to be setup, but that's what we got. It feels like the actual "Ultimate War" is yet to happen in the Ultimate X-Men series, and the Ultimates are a bit of an afterthought. If it wasn't for the short fight between my favorite X-Men, Storm, and my second favorite Ultimate, Thor, this would be slotted under a 3/5. Petty, I know, but I just wasn't captivated, even though I understand why the issues kind of needed to flow this way for the univers...

The title is an appropriate name for what was a historic clash between two of Marvel’s biggest super-teams. This pre-dated this year’s Avengers Vs. X-Men event by almost a decade, but this was set in the alternate Ultimate Universe. On the run and underground, the mutants gave as good as they got against the government-sanctioned Ultimates, this universe’s version of the Avengers.This miniseries sets up Mark Millar’s final arc on the title he helped launch with Adam Kubert. Millar, with Brian Be...

As far as Ults books go, this wasn't all that bad?Granted, I hadn't read any of the Ultimate X-Men books so I was a bit lost as to how all of that worked. How old is Jean Grey here since Wolverine's apparently in love with her? I'm... uncomfortable. Storm's dialogue was god awful. Other than that, the plot was okay. Avengers v X-Men because Magento is terrorizing America and threatening to kill all homo sapiens. As per ushe... This time the Ultimates are tasked with taking them down and Charles

After beast accidentally revealed to Blob that Magneto was alive the brotherhood freed him and restored him to his former glory. Magneto has issued a challenge for America to surrender power to mutants or be eliminated. S.H.I.E.L.D headed by Nick Fury is not taking it likely and has created the Ultimates (basically a prototype of the Avengers: Captain America, Thor, Ironman, Hawkeye, Black Widow, Hulk and Wasp) to defeat Magneto. Suspicious of the X-Men he's also ordered them to be taken out as

magneto was cruel as can be. i mean he shot his own son/quicksilver's knees to shreds and din not feel one ounce of guilt.good book though.

Something about this book doesn't sit right with me. Sure it's got Ultimate X-Men and the Ultimates. Sure it's written by Mark Millar who's been a favourite of mine for a while. It's got some aggressive tactics and little of the "heroes posing while they monologue".I don't know if this stuff ages particularly well. I read most of Ultimate X-Men a number of years ago, which I enjoyed quite a bit then. But the thought occurs to me that this stuff doesn't age particularly well - too many then-curre...

Not a fan of the adolescent style of darkness. Almost everyone in the book is a bit of a dick. Wolverine? Bit of a dick. Captain America. Also a dick. Tony Stark, sleazy alcoholic douche. I'm guessing this was written in an era where extra gore made stuff "cool" bit for me it just made it seem not so much morally ambiguous but more as though it's trying too hard to be grown up. I suppose it's a bit like Civil War as avengers fight X men (for no valid reason as far as I can tell) but just less in...

The war of X-Men verse AVENGERS! I mean Ultimates! So Magneto is a real piece of shit. After getting his memories back he decides to tell the world they're super fucked. So Xavier goes into hiding with his X-Men to try and get him back. At the same time Nick Fury assembles is Ultimates team to hunt down Magneto and slap a little sense into him. In doing so we have X-Men and Ultimates going head to head mostly because Magneto is pulling all the right strings. This was a lot better than the last v...

Other Useful Reviews: Sesana's reviewBook Info: This collection contains Ultimate War issues #1-4.ABSOLUTE RATING: {2.5+/5 stars}STANDARDIZED RATING: <3/5 stars>It's been six months since the X-Men supposedly killed Magneto in Washington D.C. But soon after the Brotherhood of Mutants blow up the Brooklyn Bridge and kill 800 New Yorkers, the country finds out the hard way that Magneto is in fact still alive and kicking. After formally taking responsibility for the attack, Magneto grants human...

This was an alright volume.It starts off with Magneto killing people after his return and so the Ultimates target him and also Professor X and his X-Men thinking both are connected and the tension between the two team start and we see them going at it. They hide but will they be successful and whatever happened to Cyclops and Wolverine? Plus when the Ultimates do finally find the X-Men how will the fight be like and who will fall and what was Magneto's master plan all along?Its an alright volume...

One of the better Avengers vs X-Men comic runs of all-time, but that's a pretty low bar. Unlike most of their entanglements in the Marvel proper Universe, the inciting incident for the two teams doing battle is completely palusible. Inciting incident, stateent of purpose, action, and plot development are paced perfectly for a summer blockbuster film, which is what this series is supposed to be analagous to. Unfortunately, the characters are all far too quippy in a very early 21st century way so

I am rereading this right now and still find that Millars work is head and shoulders above Marvels output past and present.Magneto is more terrifying than ever portrayed, Captain America is remade into something you could actually see existing in the real world, Wolverine re-built to be radar invisible? Millar was riding some kind of creative lightning in this period.How Cap beats Logan? C’mon. The MCU time and again uses this stuff as source material, but they could never convey the sense of th...

Ultimate War is a big step up from what has been a mostly disappointing run of Ultimate X-Men for me. The bulk of Millar's story feels like a three way philosophical chess match between Magneto, the X-Men and the Ultimate. It is smart and thoughtful and the ending slugfest is well earned.
