This series by Mark Millar and Steve Dillon has been a strange one. Because of it, the excellent Punisher MAX has been delayed, as Dillon dedicates all his time to drawing vampires battling superheroes. Not that this is a bad thing. No, this third mini-series focusing on the Ultimate Avengers has been great fun; Millar’s using his own sense of over-the-top action and snappy one-liners to perfectly form a tale bringing vampires into the Ultimate universe. It’s not as good as the previous two mini-series, granted, but it’s a damn sight better than Jeph Loeb’s awful work on New Ultimates. Steve Dillon’s art is fantastic as ever, though he does seem to be wasted on this tale, which brings back thoughts of Preacher and parallels to how this doesn’t quite compete with that masterpiece, particularly when you consider that his work is best suited to the Punisher in this day-and-age, and yet this is the series that takes priority due to sales. In the end, it’s just a fun action romp; nothing too bad, but nothing particularly great, either.

Story: 3 - Good
Art: 5 - Excellent
