BLOCKBUSTER PART 2 The Ultimates' Black Widow guest-stars as Spider-Man tries to work closely with Wolverine to discover who was behind the near-fatal attack on the X-Man last issue!
Forget bringing Mark Millar back to this book, and forget Grant Morrison on Ultimate Fantastic Four, Bendis has proven to me that he has a firm grasp on the Ultimate universe and every character therein. Based on Millars recent efforts on this title, Im hoping Bendiss run on Ultimate X-Men lasts for quite some time. Read Full Review
An issue that should serve a a pretty solid introduction to readers who had yet to come across Brian Michael Bendis' work before his arrival on this series, as this is exactly the type of issue that one can expect to see from him. Heck we even get the classic double-page sequence that features a mind boggling 38 panels, and each one of these panels includes a snippet of dialogue, as Logan & the surprise guest-hero discuss their past relationship, as well as the current threat that Logan is facing. The scene where Spider-Man intrudes upon the scene to remind readers that he's met the surprise guest-hero before was also a hilarious moment. There's also some fairly nice surprises such as the way that Logan is able to slip out of Peter's house, and the last page certainly stands up as one of the most surprising attacks I'm ever seen used against Wolverine. Still, there's also the fact that we're two issues into this arc, and we've seen precious little plot advancement. Read Full Review
(By the way, the ad in the back which superimposes the heads of the creators onto characters in the X-Men movie is priceless. Look for it.) Read Full Review
The first half was really empty and short, but the second one was kinda nice. At least funny. And Ultimate Marvel Team-Up is canon! Finally, Bendis remembered at least something he wrote!
