Disagree. Ultimate X-Men is also very good. Black Panther its not as good tho.

MEMORIES OF KRYPTON! Years ago on Krypton, Jor-El and Lara became utterly convinced that their planet was headed towards cataclysm. But what could two lowly peons of the Labor Guild possibly do to save their entire species? The answer is decidedly not what you think...
This is as perfect a Wonder Woman rendition as I have seen since Kelly Sue’s Historia in that it captures the essence of what a Wonder Woman is. Thompson and Hayden show us just how effortlessly Diana befits the title of Wonder Woman. Art is phenomenal and the work speaks for it self. Just an absolute breath of fresh air.
ENTER: STEVE TREVOR! A Harbinger is but a messenger. It is The Tetracide that you must fear, for The Tetracide leaves nothing behind. Diana's true enemy has been revealed--and it will take everything she has to save Gateway City from oblivion!
Simply breathtaking. The story and character work on display here trumps the previous 2 issues, and is a grandly successful swing for the fences. One of the year’s best titles. Kudos to the entire team that put this story together. It’s the very essence of what an “absolute” title should be.

Deniz is best new name at Marvel. This run has made a fan of me. I'm enjoying Marvel more regularly due to Ultimate Spider-man and this. It's a shame Black Panther and X-Men aren't as good.

OK. Your comment isn't clear though. What do you disagree with? That I think Deniz is the best new name at Marvel or that I don't rate Ultimate X-Men as highly as Ultimate Spider-Man or The Ultimates? I enjoyed the manga influence on Ultimate X-Men. However, being as objective as possible - do you really feel Ultimate X-Men has reached the highs of USM and the Ultimates?

THE CLOCK IS TICKING DOWN TO THE MAKER'S ARRIVAL!
Deniz Camp flips the narrative on ULTIMATES and takes us inside the Maker's Council! The heroes of the Ultimate Universe aren't the only ones who have been preparing for the return of the Maker, and the clock is ticking down...

ENTER...VIPER!
• Viper enters the stage after a mass raid on the cult known as the Children of the Atom!
• What has the Maker's Council been doing with the cult's mutants?
• And what of the mysterious figure they have been keeping prisoner?
• Hisako and her friends face a new world order as the raid leaves mutant...
Camp dials back the action of the previous issue to show us small character moments between members of the team. There are a ton of characters to juggle and it could feel disjointed, but Camp proves deft enough at writing this ensemble cast that it provides depth rather than muddying the story.

I’m really impressed and appreciative of how different the Absolute titles are to their mainline universe counterparts. Everything here feels alien—especially Superman. His costume and “cape” feel like true alien tech, which is really neat. But Superman himself also manages to have more humanity than anyone working for Lazarus, so he isn’t completely alien to the reader.

Similar to what Psycamorean mentioned in the previous issue, but what I like about this is Kelly Thompson's character writing. This isn't Wonder Woman talking like she's from the 1800s with Shakespearan thoughts and dialogue that feels stilted wooden and dry. This is Diana Prince talking like a normal person who feels Empathetic, Earnest and Wise. Her chemistry and dialogue with Steve Trevor immedmore
THOMPSON & SHERMAN'S RED-HOT REIMAGINING OF WONDER WOMAN UNLEASHES MONSTER MAYHEM! Gateway City has never seen anything like the Harbinger-Prime, the enormous, ravenous monster that has just risen from the depths of the ocean to darken its shores...but the Harbinger has never seen anything like the unstoppable Diana, Princess of the Underworld!
The sad part is that social media these days have gotten more toxic and negativity. I can understand not liking a comic compared to others, but at least try not to be nit-picky. Again, I can also understand that this issue compared to Watchmen is technically a "5 out of 10" but that should not be used to critique or give a number score to an issue. It should be based on your interpretation on whether the characters, story, dialogue, art, and action work on its own

Another fantastic issue of this fantastic series. The scene between MJ and Peter was great, and I love the small character details being thrown in. The writing is top tier and the art is really good too. This is one of my favorite books right now and probably one of my favorite versions of Spidey of all time. It's just different enough from the classic story of Spiderman to be interesting. I more

It feels like this book is finally becoming what I wanted it to be. Spider-Man being Spider-Man stopping bank robberies! Nice character moments between Peter and his supporting cast!
I like how Hickman writes Peter's inexperience and how he doesn't take things seriously yet. Peter has the power and the responsibility, but it still doesn't feel like it clicks for him. And that seems to b more

While it's a little difficult to follow at times, the story and art are next level. I still struggle to believe that Peach Momoko will stay with this long enough to give it a proper run, feels like this story should last at least a couple years, but I'll enjoy it while it lasts.
