While this issue isn't an action packed one, it does contain a great story that fans are going to want to read this week. It's an awesome origin story that doesn't stay on the beaten path and takes a few risks with where things go.

Key details and some effective design work make the issue's climax painful to read, especially as the work of Banner's team is made clear in detailed text pages. It's a reflection of very real horrors clarifying the concept of Iron Lad's war against The Maker's empire in this series. Read Full Review

Although Frigeri and Blee deliver on the big monster action, Ultimates #3 is more an ode to decolonization and reparation, more Godzilla Minus Zero than Godzilla vs Kong. Read Full Review

Frigeri delivers some beautiful art throughout the issue. The art is brilliantly lush and detailed. Read Full Review

The Ultimates #3 delivers a stand-alone issue that gives readers a full history of Earth-6160's version of She-Hulk. Deniz Camp's setup is thorough and engaging, with just a palatable hint of commentary about the real-life inspiration for this issue, and Juan Frigeri's art looks great. The overall series is still slow and treading water, but this is a solid one-off issue to introduce an interesting new variant character. Read Full Review

The Ultimates #3 was a solid world building third chapter for this series. Exploring the impact of Hulk's origin had on the world further added to how unique this Ultimate Universe is. While the lack of the full team appearing in this issue the introduction of She-Hulk lifted up the quality of the story. Read Full Review

Final Thoughts This is where I jump off. Its not that the idea of a baby Hulk is a bad one, its just that this book feels REALLY DEPRESSING. The whole world is screwed, and while Tony Stark wants to save it, I just dont think its going to end up the way he wants to. The designs of these characters are great, but this is supposed to be a book about how the world is saved, not how damn depressing it is. Read Full Review

Plot
The only one who is reasonable and the gamma radiation gave her superpowers is Lejori Joena Zakaria, who explains to the Ultimates everything that is happening, she is She-Hulk.

Banner is Hulk, who is part of The Maker's council, who is now willing to attack the Ultimates for having arrived on his island.

This version of Hulk's accident is intelligent and is linked to experiments that affected the most helpless, where instead of being a deserted place the site of the gamma bomb launch, it is just the opposite, where the biological consequences are immediate. The plot highlights the painful consequences of a nuclear attack.

She-Hulk offers to help Iron Lad but in exchange for curing the people of the island and reversing the environmental catastrophe and toxic levels of gamma radiation.

Exciting introduction of an alternate version of She-Hulk, with different purposes but the same altruistic spirit.

Art
It is very detailed with strong influences from Asian/manga art but perfectly adapted to Western comics.

Summary
The Ultimates are looking for a new member who has unmatched physical power and resistance to gamma radiation. more

This is just so good.

This is a really neat series, and I appreciate just how different this universe is.

This series has been incredible so far. Deniz Camp is easily the most underrated writer in comics right now and I think he's on a superstar trajectory. He's basically an alchemist when it comes to weaving modern politics, world history and superheroics into one title.

I'd highly, highly recommend checking out 20th Century Men if you're enjoying his takes on the Ultimates. Camp flexes a lot of the same muscles in that book and it's a wild ride.

This issue got me saying ''Hickman did it again''. I'm aware he is not the writer here and I am not trying to belittle Camp's accomplishments, but because this is so good, just now I am starting to realize how greatly planned this whole universe is and I am more and more convinced that Ultimate Invasion did exactly what it had to do and Hickman just placed the pieces in their place. This issue and the last one make you understand why those pieces are in those places. it's impressive how much such a static issue, a pretty much low-stakes issue could be so captivating and socially/politically relevant. I like the whole premise of just building one step at a time, one place at a time, without distraction to that big thing, that we all expect, and just this honesty about the whole thing I enjoy a lot, the clear purpose of everything that happens.

The issue is just focused on exploring that one place and the way we explore it is through a story. What I mean is that is constructed in such a way to wake an interest and constantly builds and transforms what we know about it. That makes the journey a lot more intriguing than it should be and the moment we understood what exactly happened is way more satisfying this way because the intrigue was already woken.

Overall I think, this series continues to have great worldbuilding and delivers a lot of promise for the future, and keeps a lot of its ammo for it. I am still cautious about interpreting everything because I feel the way things progress, a lot of doors are closed for now at least to me to get something more concrete than theories. I think avengers fans are eating good. more

It was an interesting back story to the hulks of the universe. It was interesting but not very exciting.
