"The stunning climax to Jonathon Hickman’s first arc in the bold new Ultimate Universe! The Ultimates are officially back, but can they stop a threat more powerful than the gods? With the world on the brink of destruction, how can Nick Fury stop this unimaginable threat?"
But this series, with its firm setting in science fiction, has me hooked. Here's hoping for more of the same! Read Full Review
Esad Ribic's art has been consistently good through this series. It's got a really nice mix of simple and detailed. A lot of his action shots flow nicely. He's definitely working well with what Hickman's given him. All that said, I've found a new, restored faith in this series. It started pretty strong, and started to slip as the ideas became more and more bizarre and the pacing seemed to slide away a bit. Now, the book seems to be back on the right track and has me looking forward to #5! Read Full Review
All in all a great issue just bursting with action! Read Full Review
So while The Ultimates doesn't function spectacularly as a team book at the moment, it's definitely an enjoyable and well-written series with some gorgeous visual work. Here's hoping the creative team can step it up another notch or two as the arc draws to a close. Read Full Review
Hopefully once we finish off this storyline Jonathan Hickman can show us that he can write a Marvel comic book WITHOUT Reed Richards in it, something he has yet to prove. Read Full Review
Ultimates 4 is far and wide the best issue of the series. Hickman focuses on one single plot point for this issue, that being Thor on a rampage inside the city because the Children and the Maker killed every last Asgardian besides him. The Maker’s true identity is shocking and Ribic drew this issue beautifully
