If Ultimate Spidey and the first volume of The Ultimates is the best of Marvel's Ultimate universe, this is the worst.
I've enjoyed each of the previous 93 issues of Ultimate X-Men, and issue 94 is the first time I've seen it take a nose dive this severe. I did like the flashback to Colossus' origin, but aside from that this issue had virtually no redeeming qualities, outside of Mark Brooks' art (which is not at its best).
Coleite ripped off a few major themes of Grant Morrison's New X-Men, including:
-a character shattered and then put back together by Beast in the infirmary
-a select few of the class using a "power enhancing drug"
-characters who have never really fit in banding together and striking out on their own against the rules of the Institute
Coleite also compressed an entire story arc's worth of lame plot devices, corny exposition, and awkward, inconsistent character moments into one meandering issue. Wolverine making sexual advances on Firestar? Storm, in the first of only three panels she appears in, seemingly knocked out by a gust of snow from Snowbird? Cyclops actually vocalizing his fears and anxieties? I don't think so.
It would have been better served to have this book populated with students from Emma Frost's Massachusetts Academy, characters that we aren't so familiar with.
