EXTRA-LENGTH FIRST ISSUE!
At the end of the 20th century, superheroes, geniuses, madmen, and activists rush towards WWIII! A Soviet "iron" hero, a superpowered American president, an insane cyborg soldier, an Afghan woman hellbent on building a better life for her people-these strange yet familiar beings collide in a story that...
Good starting point for a series, the story is somewhat vague, but you can piece together a little of what to expect. I enjoy slight alternate history stories and I'm not disappointed. The characters backstories could use a bit more fleshing out for motives and history, but still interesting.

In my humble opinion...truly awful...BUT it might be that I am the problem, and I fully accept that.
I'm not in that 9 to 12 age-group this is probably being aimed at, so please take this review as one posted by an admirer of Thomas, Buscema and Adams, of Conway, Shooter, Perez and Byrne of Busiek, Perez and Pacheco, Bendis and Finch...In comparison, the past 6(!) years have been BS...how bl more

I need to think about this
Bruce Wayne wakes up in Arkham Asylum. Young. Sane.
And...he was never Batman.
So begins this sprawling tale of the Dark Knight as he embarks on a quest through a devastated DC landscape featuring a massive cast of familiar faces from the DC Universe. As he tries to piece together the mystery of his past, he must unravel the cause of this t...
Never cared for Future's End, but this is a great story inside Snyder's run
Its five years later and Bruce Wayne is using dangerous science to help him continue his war on crime. What is it, and what forced Bruce to resort to such extremes?

I'm not entirely sure how I feel about this. I'm enjoying the story and the art, but it's really not X-Men related. Shouldn't we be seeing what happened to the notable mutants and mutant leaders of this new Ultimate timeline?

This is what the Ultimate titles should strive to be. Wonderful
Visionary creator PEACH MOMOKO (DEMON DAYS, STAR WARS) creates a new generation of X-Men for an all-new universe! Hisako Ichiki is a teenage girl who just wants to live a normal life - go to school, hang out with her friends, ignore the political strife broiling over after the events of ULTIMATE INVASION - but life has other plans for her. In Japan...
My main criticism is that this is not "X-Men", this is something else that borrows the "X-Men" title. I don't like that.
I have read many X-Men stories, and, in my opinion, Peach Momoko can't bring to the table the type of story that I expect from a book with the title "X-Men". If the book is called "ULTIMATE X-MEN", that doesn't help her case.

Wasn't putting faith in this book, thank god I was wrong, so much potential here. Loved this angle os T´challa being reluctant to help other while Killmongers is on the front line among Storm.

I want to give my initial honest reaction to reading this highly-anticipated comic book. Let me also state for the record that I was really looking forward to this new series and hoping we would actually get a decent Spidey story for a change. I gave up on Zeb Wells’ Not-Amazing Spider-Man last year. I was all Rek-Rapped out! So, how is Ultimate Spider-Man issue #1?
Short answer: pret more

Somewhat surprisingly, Tom King really gets Superman. This was psychological and inspiring all at once.
It is actually interesting to compare how Tom King's Batman deals with hopelessness vs his Superman.

This is how you write a Superman story and Tom King does a really great job at writing Superman with all his core values intact especially, Hope. The characters and their communication seems very natural while the art makes everything look vivid. There are many things to see and read but it doesn't once feels so much except it leaves us wanting more. I recommend this to all Superman fans.
