    The Ultimates 14 and the Divided We Fall story line are fantastic. This issue retains the awesomeness that was the Hickman run, but with a story and writing that are a lot easier to swallow. This issue has some fantastic set up for the rest of the story line, and I can't wait to see how this will affect the future of the Ultimate universe. Read Full Review

    My only real complaint is at around pg.10 where the action is interrupted to show the more political side of the conflict. I'm alright with scenes where characters sit and talk, but I feel like it really broke the pacing of the book in this instance. The art also left a bit to be desired, but that's more personal preference. Your mileage may vary with this issue, but it's a fairly solid read. Read Full Review

    I'm a fan of thrillers so I like the behind the scenes player moving his chess pieces into place. Mr. Morez is a mysterious but powerful villain, and Humphries knows how to convey the Ultimates as a team rather than a group of individual players. The art, however, hinders the story. It was difficult for me to be fully engaged by a book whose visuals diverted my attention. But I like grand, sweeping stories, so I'll stick with The Ultimates to see "Divided We Fall" through. After that, however, who knows? Read Full Review

    Major Spoilers - Zach Woolf Aug 24, 2012

    Ultimately the Divided We Fall storyline shuffled slightly forward instead of taking a regular issue step. What do we have at the end of this? Texas is down a nuke and the same guy is 'effing with everyone in a clear attempt to establish a new leader for the continent. Make this issue a dollar cheaper and I would say it's probably worth picking up to get the whole story for "Divided", but with a $3.99 price tag I say skip it and wait till next month.
