Since I don't want any confusion I did not give it 5 stars I it more than generously deserves only 2. Someone else was using my account and I haven't figured out how to change the star rating yet. Stupid b*st*rd slandering my good name.
Don't Buy Those Little Digest Books; Get The Big Honkin' Hardcover
+ Not as good as the first hardcover, but a worthy successor + Wonderful book. + Ran away with my heart + Consult Wikipedia for the hardcover/paperback breaks.
The Ultimate Marvel Universe has always been very fascinating and a great re-imagination of the canon Marvel U. Ultimate Fantastic Four has always been my favorite as it was always fresh and different. Vol 5 continues on this tradition by introducing us to the Ultimate version of The Silver ...
+ Smiles + Great Edition, but the story isn't quite 5 stars
