Parental Advisory …$3.99
The Ultimates series has been both interesting and, aside from great artwork, largely disappointing. Perhaps it's because the comic takes a great team - the Avengers - and turns them all into murderous jerks. Read Full Review
That said, the issue isn't without its merits. The closing pages reveal a Nick Fury subplot running through Ultimate Avengers that's undeniably intriguing. The character work is still tight this issue, and Carlos Pacheco's artwork is as dashing and beautiful as ever. Even the textbook "Millar Moment Of Excess" this issue is cool and fits the title. As far as the franchise goes, Ultimate Avengers is still the Ultimate title I'm enjoying the most, and certainly the one with the most momentum and story potential heading forward. This issue was just cut off at the knees with a silly plot element that kept it from capitalizing on the strength of the previous five installments. Read Full Review
Entertaining, but devoid of any real lasting impact or emotion. A typical, yet slightly toned down Mark Millar story that had it's high points, but never really hits those classic Ultimates moments. Read Full Review
Millar ends this story with a cliffhanger, and "Ultimate Avengers 2" is prominently advertised in this book. There's more to be told here, but the story of the reunion between Captain America and Red Skull is done. Read Full Review
As money becomes an ever-more decisive factor in whether I decide to pick up a comic or not -- particularly when it comes to Marvel books, many of which I've thoroughly enjoyed over the last few years, but which seem to have been going off the boil a little lately -- the time comes to make decisions about what books to keep following and which ones to drop. And despite my love of the original Ultimates and my general enjoyment of much of Mark Millar's work, on the strength of this first arc of Ultimate Comics Avengers, I won't be picking up the second.

This is a lame conclusion. The comic is epic - I'm not arguing. But why the hell Skull just repeatedly said that he can do anything he wants and then just kicked or punched Avengers with... Why not tell them to kill each other or something like he did with the AIM? Because he's all of a sudden good? He wanted to recreate the world to be a happy kid? I dunno, that's dumb af and I don't believe it, but that's my only complaint here.
this.... felt weird for me. Maybe its because I'm not that big of a fan of Mark Millar's writing for ultimates and found it to be edgy. I think Mark Millar is one of the reasons why Ultimate Universe mostly failed.
