***I've written a review that encompasses this book, plus the earlier two volumes: The Tempest and Cry Wolf, which comprise the first year of Brian K Vaughan's 2-year run. Get all three paperbacks or the Hardcover Volume 5 for the complete story. They are all 5-stars, in my estimation***
I've posted reviews for hardcovers 1-3 in this series. Reviews that trashed the bloated, stupid mess that Mark Millar made of the first three years of Ultimate X-Men. In the issues contained in this ... Read More

I've liked Vaughan's work in the past, especially with the group of teenage superheroes in Runaways, I've always had some fondness for Longshot, and I was hankering for some good old soap operatic X-Men action, and to top it all off, I dig Stuart Immonen's work, so I decided to give this volume a shot, despite not having read any of the rest of his run on this series.

I had been enjoying the "Ultimate X-Men" series pretty well up to this point, but was turned off here by the lackluster plotline and even moreso by the slapdash artwork, which stands in painful contrast to the richly detailed illustration of the earlier volumes. This volume felt a lot like the mass-produced X-books of the late '90s, where there were too many heroes and too many titles, and they all started to melt together into one big kaboom-fest, filled with fetishistically hyper-muscular males and ...

Longshot, Mojo and Spiral all enter the Ultimate series in this volume of Ultimate X-Men. The take on Longshot is an interesting twist on his overtly positive, almost child-like, nature in the main-stream Marvel universe- the Ultimate version is a violent human hating bigot; but Mojo and Spiral are utterly dull. Longshot is the unwilling star of a hit reality show (in Genosha) that is owned and operated by an overweight albino (non-mutant, non-alien, base-line human) named Mojo. In Genosha, mutant criminals ... Read More

Some people may not like the Ultimate Universe's take on some beloved characters, but for me I was just glad to see Longshot back in comic books. The original series by Ann Nocenti and Arthur Adams are still one of my favorite all-time comic books and having him around (although portrayed much different than the "Earth 616" version of him), is still great.
