Disclaimer: I own in some form ALL Ultimate titles. I love this universe but this is first Ult book I'm not going to buy.
So i read this and I'm glad I didn't buy it. This was not good. Not Ultimates 3 or Ult. Hulk Annual bad just not good. I'm sorry but I was hoping for spectacular art considering everyone cheering the name Art Adams but this was just good art nothing mind blowing or even eye popping but that doesn't mean Art's art is bad it just wasn't spectacular.
Ok, now to the story. Jeph Loeb name brings me pain from the already mention Ultimates 3 & Ultimate Hulk Annual to Ultimatum and season 3 of Heroes. Now it seems like he's just picking at the scab. In teasers the question "Who is Ultimate X?" well the images speak for themselves so now the question is "What's the point of Ultimate X?" From the looks of it Ultimate X is an excuse to have Wolverine in this universe. Why didn't they just keep the original? Because they used his death to be shocking in Ultimatum but it fell flat because his was one of way too many. So enter Jimmy Hudson or Ult. Daken. Loeb uses this title to shoe horn a Wolverine-esque character and from the covers some sort of X-team into high school. This issue focuses solely on Jimmy or Wolverine 2's origin. Horrible accident that he heals from Kitty Pryde shows up and Wolverine via Superman's Kryptonian crystal shows up and says "Hey Bub your my son. Don't worry about the details." Pop some claws and blam-o we got an origin. Yes kids you too can write this issue in a matter of minutes. And of course I have a minor question. Ult. Wolverine didn't have bone claws so why does Jimmy? Oh and apparently Colossus was Jimmy's mother because he can just create adamantium on his bone claws. Any of this sounding dumb to you yet?
So in closing you aren't going to gouge your eyes out but it not fun times either. So far its stay away from Loeb. On another note there is a preview for New Ultimates in the back where Loeb has the New Ultimates meet the Marvel Proper Defenders... Wait no he just gave them powers and made them look exactly the same as Marvel characters. Can't wait for that! *puke*

Wow this sounds worse than I thought it was. Very glad I gave up on the Ultimate universe.
JesTr, it’s so bad that I’m SERIOUSLY considering writing Ultimate X-men fanfiction and considering that my own continuity. It sickens me. Most people know I support Quesada and alot of his decisions but bringing back Loeb was a mistake, and a big one too. This was their chance to bring back a title from the ashes and show the fans they still got it but they blew it.
Who knows though, maybe it’ll go somewhere… maybe.
@JesTr I don’t even want a Ult. Xmen title just fold mutants into other books like Beast & Cyclops in the Ultimate Avengers would be awesome. They already do it in Ult Spidey with Iceman & Kitty.
@JesTr: Ultimate Spidey, and the Avengers have been great. And Ultimate Enemy was really good. Apart from this title, I find the Ultimate titles are more fun, and better written than a great deal of their 616 counterparts.
