The Channelling of the Bendis 0
With the world officially hating and hunting mutants, those who are still left outside of captivity are running scared. They hide, they lie, they cheat, they try to rebuild in some cases.The Good:Realism: It's nice to see that the news that mutants were man-made has not only shaken the mutant community but also people everywhere. There are riots and widespread fear. However, I find it kind of hard to see why people are rioting about something that doesn't affect them at all. Sure, the president ...

"It's funny what happens when everything changes." 0
Synopsis: The remaining mutants in the Ultimate Universe struggle to survive.What's Good?Ever since Ultimatum, the Ultimate Universe is in a dark place, especially for Mutants. With Magneto and Charles Xavier gone, along with many others, and the world finding out that Mutants were created by the US government, it makes an incredible scenario.

"We Found Out We Weren't Special Anymore" 5
With Ultimate X-Men the new Ultimate trifecta has now been completed. Of all the books, even Spider-Man, I'd say this one has had the most extreme philosophy change.

Trying to replicate the super soldier serum of WWII, the US government created the first metahuman, Wolverine, but it leaked and spread all over the planet.Frankly, this...

The Ever-changing World 0
The world of the ultimate X-men is grim. Now, the X-men have always lived in a grim world, faced with a constant barrage of adversity. Here, things seem even darker. A scattered band of young mutants is cast adrift in a sea of turmoil. Jimmy Hudson is his father's son and storms off to find answers. Spencer's writing is pretty good here, but the interior art is mediocre. It's made to look even worse when juxtaposed with the gorgeous cover. This comic felt a bit lackluster. The meandering mutants...

Not the X-Men I knew as a child 0
I have never read a X-men comic before this one, so all the info I had on the X-Men (of both universes) was gained from cartoons and movies. But I wanted at least 2 ongoing(hopefully) series to read so I wasn't changing my pull list constantly. So since I am reading the Ultimates as well, I decided that X-Men would be the next best choice. I was pleasantly surprised at it. I like how Johnny Storm is an X-Men and holed up with Kitty and Bobby. The most interesting part to me would b finding out t...
