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.

Hailey reviewed Extremity Vol. 2: Warrior Dec 9, 2024
Not the most polished DWJ work but even then its still top tier.
I do liked the fact that he made a complete world for a series of 12 numbers.
The dedication in the art and in the world building its fantastic.
The final battle was beautifully drawn and over the top (in a good way) . I hope this gets an adaptation in some way because it has a lot of potential for exploring in more

Utterly. A genuine modern comic book masterpiece. The bashing Tom King takes on here is crazy.
• Every family has its share of secrets - skeletons in the closet, kept hidden from the world at large.
• For the Visions, those secrets are real, actual skeletons.
• The thing about secrets is they always have a cost... and one of the Visions is going to pay with their life.
Rated T+
"LITTLE BETTER THAN A BEAST" STARTS NOW!
• The most critically acclaimed series of the year continues.
• The Avengers know. They know his wife killed the Reaper and the boy. They know Vision lied to protect her. They know that those lies will lead to more lies, those deaths will lead to more deaths.

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