Customer Reviews
User popularity level:  out of 5 stars

Rated by buyers 3 out of 5 stars - Could and SHOULD have been so much better
The Ultimates Volumes 1 & 2 (only, 3 sucked) were both incredible. Supreme Power was incredible. Ultimate Fantastic Four & Ultimate Spider-Man - when written by Bendis or Millar - incredible. Ultimate X-Men - ditto. What do we get here? Lots of inexplicable plot points and fighting. Great art - but a story that is confusing and ultimately unsatisfying for MAX or Ultimate Marvel fans. This should have been at least three issues longer - and I mean three issues of back story and character development. In other words, written the way Ultimates 1&2 or Supreme Power 1&2 were written. This, I am afraid, has Joseph Loeb's brainless writing all over it.



Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Loved It...Great Ultimate Book
Love that it had Supreme Power in it...I am suprised about all the bad reviews on here....Im a huge Ultimate Marvel fan...Have them all and I thought that this was one of those "Commercial Summer Movies"...Lots of action and the best thing about it is that we get to see the Supreme Powers/Squadren Supreme back....If you havent read Supreme Power make sure to pick that up...One of the best



Rated by buyers 1 out of 5 stars - jumbled mess
this book was a complete mess. 12 issues where nothing really happens. half the women in the book look excactly the same, and have the same faces and expressions, due in large part to the fact that the "artist" traces his faces from entertainment mags and adult movies.

google: Greg Land traces.

here, i'll save u thirty bucks: basically, two groups of heroes are thrust against each other. several fights ensue, all of which are the same. the end. the book could have been done in three issues, but for some reason, marvel decided to milk you for twelve.







Rated by buyers 1 out of 5 stars - See two whole universes jump the shark
The Supreme Power series and Ultimates series each provided a fresh take on old characters and stories, injecting a new level of "realism", depth, and consistency in characterization and plot. Those elements have weakened over time in the Ultimate universe, at different rates in different titles, but until now remained strong in Supreme Power. This book destroys both universes. The characters become two dimensional at best and act completely against their established personalities and storylines to advance arbitrary action and plot twists. Perhaps the authors spent too much time working on "traditional" comics, or perhaps their individual genius was lost in committee, but either way the magic is gone - and unfortunately the "canonization" of the events in this series makes it unlikely to return.



Rated by buyers 3 out of 5 stars - Ultimate (low) Power
This was a title I was expecting to be mind-blasting but,... alas,the story isn't all that great and too many characters prevent good characterization of some of them. Besides there are some plot points that don't add up (why would Burbank need to ally himself with Doom? He already had the probe...)and the art isn't the best produced by Greg Land (look for X-Men:Phoenix Endsong - much better).
I like both teams: Supreme Power (the Straczynski/Frank MAX run) and Ultimates (the Millar/Hitch run), but here, they don't quite "feel" right... I can only dream of a crossover with this two teams in a MAX title written by Straczynski and Millar and drawn by Brian Hitch. That would be something...
