Ultimate Avengers #5 was another fun read. Millar continues to approach this title like it was a summer blockbuster movie. Millar is not trying to re-invent the genre. Instead, what Millar is doing is delivering a solidly crafted action themed super hero tale. I strongly recommend Ultimate Avengers to any fans of action/adventure based comic books. If you are simply looking for some quality entertainment then Ultimate Avengers definitely worth the cover price. Read Full Review
