The torture of Tony Stark is definitely this issue's 'highlight' but really the whole thing's impressive. The tension presented by Reed's villainous cadre and their plans to wield the Infinity Gems increases on an almost page-by-page basis, and the characterisations of everyone involved are strong enough to lend proceedings some welcome depth. This is some highly enjoyable comic bookery, the kind that's been absence from The Ultimates for way too long. Praise be to Fialkov; I can't wait to see what else he's got in store for us next.

It's a great issue that still has a steady momentum its carrying and you know it's only going to get worse before it gets better. While not completely loving the art, I do find that moments where it matters most it does sell them. The expressions, fight sequences, everything that is gory is well portrayed. Read Full Review
The big problem with these issue, like some previous issues, is there was just too much going on it was a little hard to follow. Read Full Review
Fialkov definitely has some big ideas about the Ultimate Infinity Gems, but the breakneck pacing and the uneven art hinder what he's trying to do. He also introduces the Ultimate version of a few well-known Marvel characters, but their presence only adds to the overstuffed nature of this storyline. Everything he's doing here could easily fill up a couple graphic novels instead of a few issues, leaving this as a haphazard story that could have been a whole lot better. Read Full Review
