Despite the fact that this is the best issue of the latest Ultimate trilogy, so far, Ultimate Doom does manage to fall into the same traps as its predecessors. It’s a fast-paced, engaging action romp with a lot of character revelations as we learn just how evil this new threat is, and also discover that an old foe is returning to make matters worse for our heroes, Spider-Man in particular. The problem, though, is that the issue feels like half an issue; it just abruptly ends and doesn’t feel as though it flows well, as a result. Bendis is normally great with these sorts of things, but in almost every issue of this trilogy the ending has come out of nowhere and not felt organic or warranted. This was still fun, though, and sets up some interesting material for the next three issues.
