The comic that brought me back to comics. Comixxx. Sorry.

This comic is better than it has any right to be.

Bro!

One of my favorite comics of all-time. Yes, that surprises me too. Fraction's run on Hawkeye and Iron Fist should be required reading (same with Ewing's currently-in-progress Immortal Hulk).

Bro, you need to read this comic, bro. Bro. BRO. BRO!

One of the best superhero comics, and not a Galactus or skybeam in sight. Huge scale is unnecessary for greatness and this run is proof of that.

Legit one of my favorite superhero runs. A must-read for any Marvel fan.

Great run. This was one of the first superhero titles I read after a long hiatus and it helped rekindle my love for the medium. Fraction is great.

I was a relative DC newbie when I first read this comic when it came out but I enjoyed it immensely and having just reread it I think it holds up. Probably not as familiar with Greg Rucka's work as I should be but I look forward to rectifying that!

As a sorta newbie it totally hooked me

Goose flesh

This is pod racing

Baby's first 10

I hate giving 10s

I love this run. For a brief moment in time, in the darkness that is the Netflix show, Brubaker and Fraction made me an IF fan.

MORTAL KOMBAT! LET THEM FIGHT! FATALITY! Other catch phrases here... But seriously, I love this run Iron Fist. It's a lot of fun and got me into reading superhero comics after a long sabbatical. I highly recommend this to anyone, and if you do enjoy it (and even if you didn't you weirdo), check out Fraction's Hawkeye run as well. I think they make a good 1-2 punch.

More really solid work from Brubaker and Fraction.

After a long hiatus away from comicdom (or at least superhero comics), Immortal Iron Fist and Hawkeye got me back into reading. This run by Brubaker and Fraction is one of my favorites and I highly recommend it to anyone, whether you're into Iron Fist or not (I, for one, wasn't a big Iron Fist guy).

Yes plz

I think the hype and marketing turned some people off but I stills dig it. Really good writing, pacing, and art.

Damn this is the first new book I've read in a while and I'm unfamiliar with Fabok's work, but I gotta fix that. This is one pretty ass comic (and the story's not bad either!).

This issue is better than it deserves to be.

First HQ I've read and I'm hooked.

A really cool collaboration. RIPower, Sam.

Super cool premise with trippy art. Really looking forward to where this is going.

Never read much Hulk before this, but the hype and a Marvel Unlimited subscription got me intrigued, and whaddya know, this series is really flippin' good. So much so, I've gone back and bought as many floppies as I can (had to settle for Director's Cuts for the first few). Really cool premise and amazing art. Re-reading it now that I have the physical copies and am enjoying it even more the second time.

Yeah screw it, it's getting a 10. We don't need world-shattering events. More stuff like this please.

Loved the narration and backstory here

Maybe I'm took dumb

I really gotta read some back issues, like Planet and WW Hulk

This book is immortal

Not rating the Jewery thing, cuz yeah, that's bad. Maybe he took the wrong lessons from Uncut Gems? And also misspelled Cronenberg's name, so maybe no more writing for Mr. Bennett.

Smashing

As sorta newbie I'm kinda lost but I like it!

Holds up pretty well! Been a long time since my initial read.

Oh that T word... And Tae Bo!

Miles Morales is everything I wanted after a long hiatus of not-reading and after watching Into the Spider-Verse. I feel at times he's a bit TOO funny with the zingers and saying stuff like a 20 year-old and not a 13 year-old (his quips vs. Peter's quips seem the exact same) but overall a great new character and "spin" on Spider-Man

Man I really like this "Spider-Man No More" spin on the character, and the Ultimate Cloak & Dagger and Bombshell are really good side characters to have with young Miles. Again, Ultimate Spider-Man is far and away the best of the Ultimate lines, especially near the end.

God save the Queen

I think this is the first tie in issue I've enjoyed so far in this infinite crisis saga. I guess I shouldn't be surprised because Rucka wrote it

My fave thus far of the Metal line.

Read due to Marvel's new Avengers game and was not disappointed in Ms. Khan. A welcome change of pace.

Finally getting around to reading this via TPB, and it doesn't disappoint. Moore usually doesn't.

I hate leeches

Green lives matter

Coulda been a Moore script

Man critics of the day were harsh!

Freight car

I remember thinking reviving Bucky was stupid. Oops!

As seen on Netflix

Sequencing was kinda off but still great overall

Knew it was coming but still... gotdamn....

Choreography is a bit wonky but still good

Rare misstep

I really wish characters would stay dead, y'know? But alas, still a solid read.

I really dig Miles, but again, feel like other stories keep infringing on him and not allowing his stories the time they need. Everything still feels rushed to get us to Secret Wars, and while I like Doom, I feel like he was just shoehorned in. It could've (and maybe should've) been someone else. It didn't jive with what we'd seen in Ultimate FF.

Miles Morales is a beacon of light in a dark and broken Ultimate line. Bendis is great (which is fairly normal for him) and Sara Pichelli is one of my favorite artists now (and I'm a sucker for and was spoiled by Bagley).

Miles vs. Venom. 'Nuff said!

I really like the Miles Morales character, and a big reason I decided to read the whole Ultimate line was for his character. I wish big, multi-book events didn't keep cropping up in his stories (it certainly happened more often to him than Peter Parker, who was allowed to breathe a bit more), but overall I really, really enjoyed this run. This line was definitely the best post-Ultimatum as compared to the other Ultimate books (Wolverine Jr., the same but blonde? C'mon man).

I read this having taken a long sabbatical from reading/keeping up with the main Marvel 616-continuity. I stopped keeping up shortly before the first Civil War, but have read a few trades in-between and have randomly kept up with some happenings. I returned to this title because to get back in the swing of things, I read the entirety of Marvel's "Ultimate" line with their Marvel Unlimited app. That brings me here, in an effort to read the Secret Wars of the 2010's. Or whatever it's called. All that to say, I really enjoyed this first issue. I don't have a firm grasp of what's been going on in the 616, but I enjoyed the characterizations and the Black Panther perspective. I'm not sure how much I'm supposed to know about this Black Swan and that works just fine. Apropos of nothing, BP's "I'll do more than try" line was frankly really bad ass and I want to hear that in the MCU sometime. Hickman's work was a lone bright spot near the latter end of the Ultimate line, and I'm looking forward to reading more of his 616 stuff before and after this.

I struggle to compare if I enjoyed this more or less than the first issue, but it's rather pointless anyway as I enjoyed them both a great deal. I'm coming in at a weird angle having just wrapped all of the "Ultimate" line with Ultimate Spider-Man #12, and it's cool to see that incursion happening years after what we just saw in New Avenger's #1. Anyway, enough rambling--Hickman still delivers the goods.

Some serious Identity Crisis vibes here and I'm OK with it! Another great ish

A great run continues.

Another great ish

Still digging this run.

DANNY!

Neat! Overtly way hella extreme. Really excellent!

Big fan of Finch's art, and it's fun to read some early 616 Bendis.

Solid. Stark's a little quick to the "I pay for stuff, so I can be a brat" (but I suppose that's the character--though I wish another character would've called him out on it before flying away). Still (re)enjoying this run from its initial publication.

Man critics in 2004 were harsh. I blame marketing.

Good lord what comics actually got good reviews from the majority of those Comic Bulletin writers? JMS' Gwen Stacy kid storyline? Sheesh. I loved this run. Great retro throwback too.

This series has had some of the best fight choreography I've seen in a while

Cowabunga

Good for new readers too cuz I didn't know this was the third series!

Surprisingly good

Mindwiping the characters and having them relearn everything we already know over several issues is a weird choice.

Great creative team for this. I remember digging it as a kid and it holds up.

Slow, but I don't mind so far.

Shawn Hill sleeps with dogs.

Good run albeit somewhat anti climactic

What Gobby said

Socrcerer

So that's where 'Dark Phoenix's "I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO!" came from 😂

I want to live in an alternate reality toooo

Hawkguy!

Layyyyylaaa

Who flung that sentinel to Kickstart the festivities?

DC history is crazy. And I like it!

I was mildly disappointed. I think it would've benefited another issue.

All will fear THE BEAK

Rubbish? Hardly, darling.

What kind of ad break splits what's meant to to be a double splash page? Wtf Marvel

"My fantasy is to have two white girls wrestle in crude oil until they suffocate like gulls on the beaches of Kuwait."

These apes DO have PhDs thank you very much

Fuckin boomers

Super-fun

Really confused as to how to speedsters let Batman get captured by the new Green lantern core and then the new Aquaman guy gets away lickety-split at the very end with no follow up by either speedster. I just don't understand the pacing and it doesn't really make sense story wise. If superman had been distracted in either of those scenarios for them otherwise occupied I get it but he totally just went super Saiyan and then let the corp get away. Also this ipad keyboard sucks Wtf

Overall great series

I remember when the Ultimate line was launched and I had so little hope for it. Was this another Spider-Man: Chapter One? I didn't need a rebooted Spidey, dagnabit! Turns out, nah, it's just really flippin' good comics. The whole initial line was strong, but perhaps the strongest (and absolutely the most consistent) was Bendis' and Bagley's Ultimate Spider-Man. This is still one of the books I'd recommend to anyone who's interested in reading superhero comics, whether you're more into the 616 stuff or not.

I really like what Bendis and Bagley did with this version of the Kingpin. And you should too!

I'm giving this a number grade almost a year after re-reading it (after originally reading it over 10 years ago). I feel like USM was the most consistent and arguably best line in the Ultimate world and handled the Ultimatum the best, which is probably when I might knock down the score to 7.5. Regardless, really good stuff; I enjoyed this take on Doc Ock (and really like what they did with him later which I won't spoil).

Really cool spin on the Venom story. Like a lot of things, I prefer the 616 version, but this take was really well done, and I'm a sucker for some Bagley Venom.

Missing Bagley's artwork, and while certainly different spin on the Sinister Six over, I think it falls flat. It was underwhelming for me and I didn't like Peter's characterization.

Just good, dumb, meta fun.

Who doesn't enjoy a good ol' body swap.

While I still prefer the 616, I really like this Ultimate spin on the Hobgoblin.

I'm a sucker for some street-level, gang war activities, and this delivers and then some. Sometimes I wish they'd allow some Ultimate characters to breathe a bit and develop instead of just cramming a whole bunch at us, but at least this time, I don't mind.

I stand with Grifter.

Bendis gets his clone saga and it's a lot of fun, and like the 616 version, doesn't last too long!

Man, I wish Ultimate DD had a better opportunity to shine in this Ultimate-verse. I imagine Bendis writing him so well in 616 didn't help.

I stand with Grifter.

The only run during Ultimatum that didn't really suck.

That's not how court works

Didn't Fisk die like 10 issues ago?

Another tie-in that I prefer to the main/core series.

Not a usual GL reader but this was a fine continuation of the Metal series.

I abandoned my Comic habit not too long after this issue's original publication due to poorness and school so I am rectifying that years later thanks to DC universe and I am so far enjoying this as much as I recall!

Feel like the series waned but overall I enjoyed it.

Wtf is that ending

So much better than what was going on in the main titles at this time.

Yet again I'm enjoying the tie-ins over the main title.

Eventually, you do plan to have dinosaurs on your dinosaur tour, right?
