Well my little experiment in Ultimate X-Men is now over.  I’m really disappointed with this arc overall.  Apocalypse is one of my all time favorite villains and this was a poor execution of him.  Also I really didn’t like how this issue pulled a deus ex machina in the end.

This book really seemed like it was lacking on the story.  This issue did do something that from what I understand was needed for this book, a reboot.  It’s really sad though that this book hasn’t even reached issue 100 yet and already needs a reboot.  It is nice though to see a reboot happen in a book and not have it take 6, 8, or 12 issues.  I like to think that Kirkman knew that he didn’t need to waste a bunch of time on it.  It’s about the only thing that I can say that was good about his writing on this book, which is horrible because I normally love Kirkman’s stuff.

Overall this book was disappointing, even the art work that I have enjoyed that last few issues just did not feel as good as the rest.  I’m going back to only reading Ultimate Spider-Man and Captain America from Marvel.  It seems like whenever I stray too far from those two books I just end up reading something that’s just crap.
