Ultimate X-Men, Vol. 120 reviews
Mark Millar

Marvel Comics, 2002

plah!

+ Solid comic-book storytelling
+ A Fresh Start

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.

Introducing The Silver Searcher.......

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 ...
  
  











  



  
Ultimate X-Men, Vol. 33 reviews
Mark Millar, Adam Kubert, ...

Marvel Comics, 2003

Millar's best

+ Smiles
+ Great Edition, but the story isn't quite 5 stars

Ultimate X-men Hardcover Vol 3 collects Ultimate War 1-4 and Ultimate X-Men 26-33 and is easily the best Ultimate X-Men collection so far. This is the first Ultimate X-Men novel where both stories (Ultimate War and Return of the King) actually tie into one another and as such it's a natural fit ...

Ultimate X-Men, Vol. 81 review
Robert Kirkman, Sean McKeever, ...

Marvel Comics, 2008

Now that's more like it!

I wasn't exactly thrilled by Robert Kirkman's initial Ultimate X-Men run, but I had faith enough in the Invincible scribe's abilities as well as the overall strength of the series to stick around for another hardcover installment. I just finished reading Ultimate X-Men volume 8, and all I can say ...

Warren Ellis, Mike Carey, ...

Marvel Comics, 2006

Still Fantastic

+ "Why did you have to be a jerk?"

While I've never been a fan of the Fantastic Four, I gave the first Ultimate Fantastic Four hardcover collection a try and was pleasantly surprised.

The Ultimates, Vol. 164 reviews
Mark Millar

Marvel Comics, 2004

AWESOME

+ Unexpected

I was never a comic fan until I read this and Watchmen. For a noob in the comic world, the Ultimates changed how I saw comics and now I'm a huge Mark Millar fan. I highly recommend this trade! Just beware that vol 2 book 2 fell short for me in the series. There was so much build up in vol ...

Marvel Comics, 2006

A bit uneven, but still a great Ultimate X-Men hardcover collection

Just when I was ready to end my lifelong love affair with the X-Men, Marvel launched the Ultimate X-Men series, which abandoned existing continuity and gave my favorite mutants a fresh start.
