    Artist Alvaro Martinez works well with Wood's thoughtful storytelling sensibilities. The opening where a mountain lion approaches Kitty Pryde in the forest plays just the right notes -- solace, surprise, danger, understanding, calm -- and the same can be said for the rest of the issue. The Storm versus Farbird battle takes place in a raging storm, but that doesn't stop Martinez from making it clear and exciting. Read Full Review

    The story maintains that gritty look to it which is to be expected when things are so intense. The end is nigh and if you aren't following this story, you'd best do so or miss out on what really should be the biggest moment for mutantkind in the Ultimate Universe. The transition from against the world to against each other has been the best story decision that Brian Wood could have made. They have their freedom, but now it's their choice as to what they should do with it. This is a conflict of interest and the two heads of this conflict will end it before it gets any worse.

    Ultimate Comics X-Men#32 has one flaw. A character makes her first appearance for seemingly no reason, except to move the plot. In Wood's defense, she does more than just act as a glorifieddeus ex machina, but this part of the comic seemed like a fast forward button to get to the last issue. The events is set up are intriguing, but the execution is lacking.However,Ultimate Comics X-Men#32 is another fine example of Brian Wood's character-driven, political take on the X-Men in the Ultimate Universe and has Martinez's best art of his short run on the book.
