Stuart Immonen is a solid artist, and I'm delighted to see him back on a title that I collect, as he has a clean, visually exciting style that I enjoy. He certainly does a solid job delivering the key visual elements of the story, as Reed's twisting body makes for a striking bit of art, and I have to say I loved the highly expressive facial shots that we get from Sue as she studies the data she collects. As for the new look Doctor Doom, I have to say I'm not entirely sold, as it looks a little too much like he raided a thrift store hamper, though I imagine the look will become more refined.

An encouraging first issue for Warren Ellis' opening arc, which throws up some questions (who's the swamp-monster-guy in the flashback to the accident? - or am I being dumb here?) as well as setting up a solid conflict. This arc promises a fully-fledged classic Marvel villain for the Ultimate Universe, a darker tone and some real jeopardy for our team - and who knows, maybe they'll even get their costumes.

The backstory of Doom wasn't interesting and I didn't understand why the hell there was Man-Thing, but it was fine to read about Reed's body. Ellis and Immonen do a good work here, however, Adam Kubert had a better art and I really see now where was the inspiration for the 2005 movie... This doom is something else.
Meh...for me I don't love the characters enough to care. There aren't anyone moments that pop for me. I hated how Doom looked on his big reveal with that big chin mask...
