    Black Nerd Problems - Omar Holmon

    Jan 19, 2017

    We're still no closer to finding out who locked eternity up but we got some major problems happening out in the cosmos with Order and Chaos running around. We're getting introduced to characters (the inbetweener) that play major obscure roles in the grand balance of things and they come into play in major way. Ewing has set up a real First 48 in space vibe with this series with recent developments in the last issue and this one. Read Full Review

    The stakes have never been higher. Ultimates 2 #3 gave us a huge power shift in the universe the likes of which should have big consequences to those who aren't too high on the current food chain. The fate of the multiverse hangs in the balance, and hopefully we will push past all Earthly affairs that would anchor us down from such a spectacle that can only happen here. Read Full Review

    411Mania - Sankalp G.

    Jan 26, 2017

    Frankly, the end was particularly unexpected and Ewing has presented changes like this from the start of the series (see Galactus). The art shined in this issue and especially in the last few panels as the birth of Logos was as grand as it should be. The characterization of In-Betweener was a very clever design and so was Logos. The lack of detail in facial expression could be forgiven. The issue was an explosive one with many things happening but the introduction of the Troublemakers could have been reduced.

    AIPT - Russ Dobler

    Jan 18, 2017

    Ultimates2 #3 is a step up from the previous issue, but sadly not a step away from the well-intentioned but poorly-realized artwork. Ewing is back to telling his story, though there's still no sight of Eternity's jailer, and we're given reasons to invest in an eventual conflict between the Ultimates and the Troubleshooters. While Order and Chaos seem to have overcome their logical conflict to rise above the rest in a reborn multiverse, the writing and art of the rebooted Ultimates has yet to achieve the same feat.

    Major Spoilers - Matthew Peterson

    Jan 23, 2017

    In short, this is the kind of world-building that the Marvel Universe hasn't been party to since the 1970s, with the recent restructuring of the world (that has mostly been forgotten in other titles, thanks to the march of big crossover events) making for excellent drama. Ultimates 2 #3 is well-drawn, well-written and intriguing, with the only real complaint being a shortage of Ultimates. Read Full Review

    One of the best parts of Ewing's Ultimates run, and most of his comics in general, is his immense respect for continuity. Great job Al 👍🏼

    This deeply cosmic book is definitely interesting; it's nice to see some of the fallout of Secret Wars addressed, since that storyline changed everything on a cosmic level. It's also a different kind of story than is being told in most books, with a cast that includes Galactgus, Order and Chaos, and the In-Betweener. Al Ewing is very good at this stuff, and Travel Foreman, though not living up to his early "Animal Man" work of a few years ago, keeps the book looking good.

    Love the story Ewing is telling but the art is touch and go for me. Sometimes in certain panels it's absolutely gorgeous. And then in others - not so much.

    Travel Foreman is NOT working to his potential with this series. As a fan of his previous works, I can say with complete confidence that he is capable of much more than he has given us with ULTIMATES(squared). Some of the panels in issue #3 (and issues #1 and #2 for that matter) don't even look finished. THAT SAID, this issue was still terrific. It is a testament to just how good a storyteller Al Ewing is that,even when the art isn't clear, the story still shines. ULTIMATES may be my most anticipated book from Marvel. I'm loving it. I hope Marvel is smart enough to give Al Ewing the FANTASTIC FOUR upon its inevitable return...because, with the exception of the cast, this book is everything I'd want from an FF series. SCORE: 8.1

    For a key series in the buildup to eternity war, why must they continue to have such shitty artistry? Bring back Rocafort!
