Marvel generally hides badly drawn books behind a great cover, but in this case the opposite is true. I almost didn’t want to read this book because of its crap cover, but I saw some of the interior art, which is much better. In the end, the book couldn’t quite deliver what I expected from this first impression. The story is a bit too simple, some of the characters are not my cup of tea and even the art couldn’t hold its quality over the course of the whole book (I’m not sure what each of the two artists is doing, but I suspect I like one more than the other).

I also noticed that this doesn’t feel like a first issue. The characters apparently know each other from Spider-Woman, but I haven’t heard of any of them and expected a proper origin story, but that’s not happening here.

Anyway, if you’re looking for a fresh fun book, give New Champions a chance. There’s a lot of potential. more

Huh.

I'm not going to lie, I actually really enjoyed this. At first I went in not expecting much but I actually like the characters in this. I didn't read the Steve Fox Spider-woman run yet I'm still finishing the previous Pachinko run first so I don't know the whole backstory for these characters but Steve does a good job giving you some insight on what you might have missed.

This is a new kind of era where a comic cover sucks but the actual material inside is good. Like that cover is so bad but luckily some reviews even reviews that did not like this issue peaked my interest to check it out.

I like the personalities for me they are not too much, or overbearing/annoying for how young the characters are suppose to be.

I'm adding this to my pull list.

I’m reading NYX mostly to spot the woke indoctrination, since that’s the only consistent aspect of this mess of a comic. This time the ideological nonsense is in the background, as two battles take the center stage, both of them not making much sense.

Having Prodigy and Sync fight over the leadership of the group (what group?) seemed completely forced and made me realize that both men are pretty much the same throwaway character. Ms. Marvel (who shouldn’t even be in a mutant book) vs. her cousin makes even less sense. He doesn’t realize it’s her because she’s wearing a €%&£ mask? Come on… it’s 2025! In the end, both fights are resolved too quickly, and in Prodigy and Sync’s case, just as unnaturally as it started.

I’m writing too much about this crappy book. It’s crap. Don’t buy it. more

Not really knowing much about this character I gave this a try and enjoyed it. Like other reviewers on here I feel the same that her design in this ish is bland. But the design on ish 2 looks phenomenal so hopefully it changes.

Story was nothing amazing but kind of cookie-cutter anime vibes,for me it specifically took inspiration from Bleach. Her Darkchilde trying to take over is very much like Ichigo Kurosaki' Hollow that is always trying to take him over. Her sword and fighting demons make me think of this sorry can't help it! more

A decent Magik story. The family of magic practitioners introduced in this issue was the most interesting part for me.

Just for the record: I hate Magik’s look, both the costume and the surfboard-sized sword. I hope the different outfits on upcoming covers mean that a costume change is in store for Ilyana.

Unintentionally goofy and dumb origin story. Imagine Snyder getting inspiration from chainsaw-man and my Heroe Accademia without getting it. Middle age man idea of manga without taste or creativity.

Very poor art for DC's current big book they're trying to push. This issue was quite boring and the reveal of the bat suit tech origin was lackluster at best. My least favorite issue of the run by far.

Expectations were high and Adams delivers.

Banger after banger in this series.

Ghost machine shows how to make comics great and Geiger leads the way consistently.

I'm not a big fan of this superstars thing going on. Back and forth on writers and jumping to stories that take place before current events doesn't make me want to come back every month and John Ridley is certainly not a Superman superstar. This feels as boring as Straczynski's grounded run to me and the art is a bit of a let down. This is no where near a $5 book.

I love this book! It reminds me why I fell in love with comics as a kid. However, this fourth issue drags a bit, but maybe I'm just not that much into villain's monologues.

No.

I won’t even try to pretend I know what’s going on in this issue. As a newcomer to the New Gods, I have no clue who all these characters, creatures and planets are, and we don’t get a lot of explanation. Without the more down-to-earth scenes, I’d be completely lost. However, the book is drawn so well that I don’t even mind that the story feels like some cryptic mythological text. I actually like how mysterious all of this is.

Having said that, I didn’t really enjoy the guest art on the first couple of pages. Lonergan’s rough and sketchy style doesn’t complement Evan Cagle’s intricate and elegant art at all. Maybe it was meant to be a jarring combination, but I would have preferred Cagle to draw the whole book. more

Although the finale feels a bit anticlimactic, I enjoyed this issue quite a bit. For once I’m not completely mystified by Simone’s script, and the guest art looks pretty good - almost too pretty for all that dark stuff going on. In the end, this crossover served as setup for a bigger story, which makes complete sense from a dramaturgical point of view.

This crossover was such a bad idea. Put the nail in the coffin for me with Uncanny. Also, this inconsistency with art has become really annoying. I feel like Marvel's greedy tactics are starting to really show so it's time for me to move on to something where I feel people don't make decisions based on just wanting to sell more comics. There really is no point in having 18 issues a year and having a crossover every few months...I prefer quality over quantity and spectacle... more

This is one of the worst finales to a so-called "event" I have ever read. In the end, nothing happens or changes, the main character of Rogue acts weirdly out of character, and aside from a small number of decent character moments among the supporting cast, there was nothing of substance or note. I can't even make a longer review because there's just nothing to talk about.

So.. that was a pointless arc. The art was especially rough - Rogue's face was all over the place.

This issue was so incredibly disappointing. The end of the Raid story arc was a terrible travesty that didn't have to be, but yet this entire issue sacrifices character for the sake of plot. The two teams have to be put at odds, and so that happens regardless of the events going on around them, and barely anyone besides Scott and Rogue say anything despite their own stakes in the events that are taking place here. The X-men flounder terribly here, not acting like the heroes they should be and leaving this event with less than they came with, leaving humiliated and divided even though what they saw inside of that prison should have caused them to put their differences aside to save the poor prisoners trapped inside. This was a very disappointing issue. more

Forget anything Uncanny or X-Men at least for me...

I really was hoping this would be a long series that would last for me but no I think this issue turned me off for good. My biggest beef is the art changing so much, the artist in the beginning was superb I thought but now they keep changing too where it has no consistency at all.

Modern comics really are garbage and to the ones that aren't as bad they are still a chore to read when you want to stick with them. For example, I started reading the 1998 Iron Man run written by Kurt Busiek and drawn by Chen. Now I won't claim it too be the best comic EVAH! However it is in a masterclass in itself. In two days I read 25 issues and an annual without getting tired of it. Getting ready eventually to read 64 more issues of it.

Iron Man 1998 unlike this crap called Uncanny X-Men is consistent throughout those 25 issues I've read, even the worst issues were still entertaining. The romance and flings Tony has feel real and gives you a glimpse into him as a man. Whereas in Gail Simone's romance between Rogue and Gambit it feels like a cheap attempt at fanfiction or at best cliche fans service (is there a difference Idk?).I am not learning anything new about Rogue or Gambit through there love in this series, nothing significant that effects the story dramatically at all.

This whole issue especially was so drab and stupid and you know what I'm sick of every woman character having a beef with some male lead for reasons that is not explained. I get it everyone hates Scott now but honestly I think its stupid. I like Scott Summers, I think he's a good character that deserves respect but no he is getting the Captain America treatment in current comics. Cap is also being treated like used toilet paper in comics that should "know his place" when "DA STRONG WAHMEN COMEZ IN DA PANEL DUH!!"

I gave this garbage another chance even after that horrendous abomination called issue #6 but that's it! more

TOO MUCH INFORMATION (TMI BRO)

I haven't reviewed previous issues but I would say I enjoyed issues #1-7 and didn't feel like I had anything to add to the conversation because most people liked them too. But this was just bad. Like I can tell the writer has a lot of big ideas and some of them sound really epic but so many crammed in one comic felt kind of lame and rushed and honestly incomprehensible. Like retaining it is not really possible because there is nothing to relate to in order to remember some of the large amounts of information thrown at you so fast.

Captain Marvel is like that NPC that just has so much dialogue about lame quest you could care less about. Then when she demands an emotional response there is nothing there because it is so routine. This issue is information overload or simply TMI.

Honestly America Chavez taking up this much space is stupid, you should have a separate comic or miniseries if you wanted to cover more of her and her unknown history with these new Guardians of the Galaxy. Because I am more attached to the Ultimates you started us off with. Like their back stories didn't feel this convoluted and as bloated as your dead fat Galactus is floating in space lol.

I am still looking forward though to seeing how Iron Lad fairs, and of course I want to see more of this Doom even though I know people who say that its been done before. I hope attention is kept on the others as well and that balance returns, but if the format is going to be like this on the next issue that will be a bad sign. more

2 Minute Read...

Okay so a solid 5/5 for the art I'm loving most of the panel work. But the writing continues to fall apart at least in terms of pacing. I finished this comic in at least 2 minutes or at most 3 minutes.

Starting off with a great scene where Tchalla goes out of character to behead his defeated foe Moon knight it only turns out to be a dream. I get it, but honestly would have been cool to commit to this especially that this is an Ultimate universe created by the Maker that will eventually be fixed by The Ultimates eventually?

From there he finally has his fight and easily defeats Moonknight with a swift upper kick to the face sending him flying. Seriously. That's it. Kind of anti-climactic after all that build up unless there will be a second phase of fighting in issue 13 but that would be silly.

Then he sees these four giant dark figures trying to influence him to end Moon Knight only to be stopped by that chick I already forgot her name but she is Sorcerer Supreme in this ultimate universe or something.

Sorry to make it sound so bare minimum but that's how it felt for me.

After the many great issues of nice lengthy dialogue and world building it seems the writer is losing steam. Issue 11 was not terrible but not good either. Well this one was bad.

I don't want to give a super low devastating score because I don't think it would be fair to totally give up. The artist is still doing a tops job and most of this run in this reviewer's opinion has been solid so it is okay to have a few bummers. But not giving a high score either because if the story continues to intellectually weaken like this it should not be rewarded. more

My good lord, people get satisfied with little these days. The art is wonky. It tries to emulate Jim Lee, which is a mistake if your not Jim Lee, you know? You'll never live up to the master. Same goes to the story. So, if y'all allow me an advice? Save your buck and go for UXM 274 instead, if this is your cup of tea. Art is far, far better.

I don’t know why this even exists. It adds nothing to the classic story. Worse, both art and writing are not even close to Claremont and Lee, which makes this comic completely redundant.

What a disappointment...

I was really looking forward to this, but wow I couldn't believe how poor the writing was and how jumbled and stupid the whole plot comes off. The art is not enough either to keep my attention. There are some good panels but most of this feels rushed. I liked how it was showing how she was figuring out how to survive but it lost focus at some point I think when those creatures disturbed her in the cave she was sleeping in.

Coming from a Super Rogue fan, like I have all of her comics, love them all even the not so popular ones. But this is awful. If I was writing this I would have really emphasized the savage land and bare basic survival. Really play on that more than this.

What really pisses me off is they made sure to make a great looking cover including the variants which are superb pieces. But that's it, inside is an empty shell like your average materialistic American female who only cares about money and status.

Do not buy, stay away, I was only fooled by dat Savage Rogue look baby lol. more

Plot
Doom sends the Ultimates to different moments in time to learn more about the changes The Maker made millions of years in the future or past, but they are intercepted by the Ultimate Guardians of The Galaxy, made up of Star-Lord who has the ability to alter realities and move the stars, Ultimate Nullifier with the power of mental blocking and Cosmo the dog who can read minds, who come to rescue America Chavez.

In the 61st century, the Maker, who is called at that time The Unmaker attacked them and this whole world created a kind of temporal Noah's Ark and they began to move in time escaping but they collided with an era that made all the guardians go to different moments, including America Chavez, she is a guardian of the galaxy. America does not remember anything from this life and asks them to leave that she will follow Doom's plan to eliminate The Maker.

Tony Stark is still on the brink of death, with just 10 months to go until The Maker's return.

Art
It is organic and textured, giving it a suitable dynamism and dramatic tone.

Summary
America Chavez is part of the Guardians of the Galaxy who were also decimated by The Maker more
