It is very hard to root for the heroes here and North forces this plot point to make them look desperate but it just doesn't work. Still I'm following here for Doom is his own worst enemy and I'm waiting for the FF to really show up and Valeria especially. Let's see.

This is a battle the heroes can't win because they underestimated Doom and what he gave then people. Forced at times but still a valid story. RB Silva on art is always a treat!

The concept here is promising but the delivery misses. How do people react when the enemy takes over your world and gives the people what they want and need? How do the heroes fight that? The execution is missing a fighting side along with the life goes on as we meet for coffee and hash it out side. Both should happen here. You can try to help your previous enemy's victims that were bitten during Blood hunt as a "minority" who are trying to assimilate back into society as you plan for the bigger fight. Reed and the heroes can do both but Doom is smarter right now yes I get that and people as a group can be vicious. Reed's solution is a quick McGuffin that could have solved Blood Hunt quicker but magically shows up here. more

What would you do if Doom takes over and runs your country better than ever except you have to pledge full allegiance to a an evil dictator? Good concept to start. Doom always ends up being his own worst enemy but he is doing a great job making the heroes look like the bad ones here.

Great read using good ol' classic turns and twists but enjoyable nonetheless. Gary Frank makes it all look absolutely fantastic like you are living in that world. Layered with perfect coloring from Brad Anderson. I still feel like this series can get to the next level but I know deep down Geoff Jones will not stray there. Let's hope Junkyard Joe will have a better arc next time around.

Nice summation and great speech from the Lad. Frigeri makes it all look wonderful.

I think this is the best series coming out of the current Ultimate Marvel books

Sad Doom! Noto is his usual self and fits the vibe.

Well executed story. Flows well and gets you in the society's view point of what the Maker has imposed on them and all structures running their lives through the corrupt leadership. The line between a terrorist and a freedom fighter is a fine line. This is not a fight to be won in the voting booth but careful of allowing the anarchist side to take over because it will consume everything in its way . Frigeri's art is top notch!more

Side quest and out of place and Frigeri is missing so it's off for me.

Well executed story with many plots firing. Camp delivers a good one here and I'm liking this outing. Again Frigeri on art makes this book shine. He's synonymous with the Ultimates in my brain now.

Ultimates delivers good entertainment but if we don't have an internal schism soon and I'm not talking about Wasp's angle or a civil war. No uprising of society against its corrupt rulers has ever fired this well on all cylinders internally. Doom/Reed Richards' hammer(s) needs to fall way before the maker comes back. Still a good story with many heavy handed nudges but not enough to distract. Frig eri's art is fantastic and very detailed. Blee colors the heck out of it here.more

That ending turned me from being an annoyed reader to mildly interested but cautious. Let's see what happens but as ASM reader I've been disappointed before. I just don't want anymore clones for while. Michael Dowling on art was very good!

Why are we here yet again.? We can't go a few arcs without Peter/Spidey quitting and going through an existential crisis. It's repetitive nonsense at this point.

Kelly has Peter Parker/Spidey's voices down pat and it works. But Larraz on art set the bar way high. John Romita Jr is good but they are polar opposites and can't match in anyway. Still a fun issue that does the meat and potatoes well but we've seen this movie a thousand times already.

Kelly has the voice of Peter/Spidey down pat and it works. Fun issue but Larraz set the bar so high on art that John Romita Jr. can't match him. 2 polar opposites in every aspect. Both good but can't follow one with the other. Still it does the meat and potatoes of ASM well but we've seen this a thousand times already.

It's not bad. I actually was entertained. But we've seen this type of story a million times. Fighting while talking.

The hate on this one is a little much. I don't like JRJR or this would be a tad higher. This one was at least fun. It was a nice fight sequence, the banter at the beginning was good, and the inner monologue was decent. It's better than the prior run and I wish it was better, yes, but it's still not bad. Am I settling and accepting this? No, but I'll give a C when it's deserved. Overall average boo k. more
