The Ultimates is one of those books that you read to get pumped. Read Full Review

This is a series that I recommend to anyone who wants a taste of the direction that Marvel is going into. It incorporates characters and has a refreshing take on a super-team. If you love Marvel's sci-fi departement you will love this book. This is my favorite All-New All-Different Marvel book out so far. Pick up #1 before getting this issue but trust me when I say read this series. Read Full Review

Ewing and Rocafort keep the momentum high and the universal diplomatic resolutions on one hunned this issue. This series flourishes so far in only it's second issue with the team really being a team. They are coordinated, they are precise but still getting to know one another, which will be a fun road we embark on. But in one issue they've basically shut down Galactus' huger which has plagued the Marvel universe for millenia? Bars. Come on man. Read Full Review

Outside of the ending that should be making headlines everywhere, there is a sequence with Galactus that rather tragically sums up his origin story with Dan Brown using every shade of purple in the history of the color to signify this is none other than his story being told. We discover why he hungers, and why he destroys, for so long people have believed him to be a necessary part of how the Universe works. Flash forward to now with our team putting an end to that belief in a light show like you wouldn't believe, and Marvel fans will get something truly new all-new and all-different both in the story and what this means in the grand scheme of things.

The Ultimates #2 is an extremely well-crafted piece of comic book story telling. Ewing's tight focus, while it does relegate some of the team to merely being plot devices, helps to develop the issue's two leads in Black Panther and Galactus. Rocafort's artwork not only makes the book a visual marvel, but his layouts guide the pacing of the book, preventing this issue from feeling rushed or overstuffed. As the close to a two-part opening arc, The Ultimates #2 sets a good foundation for a series that aims to push the boundaries of the "All-New, All-Different" Marvel Universe. Read Full Review

Ultimates #2 ends with the team solving their first problem, and surely after this issue you'll want to follow them to the ends of space and back as they pull off the impossible. Read Full Review

If you like team series, Ultimates is still your comic. Much of the narration is done through Black Panther, but everyone shines through each panel. We truly have a team of powerhouses, and if they are the right choice to tackle issues of this magnitude. Read Full Review

The Ultimates is solid storytelling and the ending has me wondering whether we'll get more of this arc or if we'll shift to another problem, which leads me back to wondering how long this fix will stick. That said, the only other thing to say about this issue is that even if the story is not to your liking, you need to be buying it for Rocafort's fantastic artwork. Read Full Review

I came away from issue #1 unexpectedly impressed. Such could have proved an aberration, especially given the sorry state of nearly every series out of the All-New, Marvel Now initiative thus far. While never quite reaching the highs of the debut issue, The Ultimates easily remains Marvels strongest offering without the words Star Wars in the title. Read Full Review

This is a big book with big questions, and it just might be the heir apparent to Hickman's Marvel storytelling. Read Full Review

I was a bit confused by all the technobabble, and I think Jonathan Hickman should be the only writer allowed to do technobabble. These opening issues still have me excited for the rest of the series though

Interesting take on Galactus.

The art is excellent, the story relies heavily on comic book science, which makes it less interesting as a result.

This series has started by jumping the shark at the heart of the universe. This team acquired knowledge and power that is completely off the scale. I was originally excited to see how Galactus would play into this series, but this is a bit much.
