Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Better than expected
I had really low expectations for this book going in, based on what I had read on amazon by people who are a lot more qualified to write X-Men reviews than I. I thought it was a good story line. I like the attempt to make the story tie into current issues (steroid use, homosexuality, etc) I thought the art looked a lot tighter than it did for the past couple of volumes. It had some of my favorite X-Men in it: Rogue, Iceman, Nightcrawler, Colusses, Wolverine, Jean Gray, and Storm. I also liked ...

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Meh.
All those negative one-star reviews posted before this one? They're correct. This story is is based on a drug that doesn't make sense, it's uneven on character development (which is also kept to a minimum, making a lot of the new characters we meet boring and most battle scenes nonsensical), and wipes away previous plot lines without enough explanation.

The idea that Colossus has been a junkie since we've met him doesn't work for several reasons: he hasn't been showing any signs of ... Read More



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Mind-numbingly bad
Remember when the Ultimate universe was actually a good idea? Remember when Mark Millar launched Ultimate X-Men and actually took the title and characters in new and powerful directions? Those days have been long gone, and ever since Millar took off from the title, Ultimate X-Men has declined in quality ever so steadily. After Robert Kirkman's disappointing run on the title, Heroes writer Aron Coleite gets the scribe duties with Absolute Power, which turns the whole title into nothing more than a ... Read More



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Ruins everything
Remember when the Ultimate universe was cool? When they tried to take a more "realistic" view on things. do a slow burn and offer unique points of view on charachters and events from the main univers? yeah me too. unfourtunately, this TBP is the sign of the apocalypse to the Ultimate Universe and what its becomming (not the charachter). Story was terrible. made no sense, it was all about "hotshotting" events for the purpose of shock and buzz. Hopefully they find a way to retcon out of this. First start ... Read More



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Terrible
This was the most non linear story line ever. This entire book was just pointless. One minute everyone is pissed only to be the best of friends a second later. The most worthless trade in the series to date. Feel free to skip it, your not missing anything.
