After Loeb’s Ultimates 3 and his Ultimatum storyline, I honestly believed he had nearly come close to entirely destroying everything…

July 20, 2011 4:06 pm I'm shocked to see the high ratings and POTW status for this because I thought this issue was an absolute mess, especially coming off the heels of the excellent Fallout #1.

Glad you guys liked it, just wish I did too. 
July 20, 2011 4:04 pm  My LCS also didn't have this, which is sad because I've been really looking forward to it.
June 29, 2011 3:45 pm As a man who originally condemned Jeph Loeb for all of his Ultimate universe work and thinking the man had no grasp on the universe he was stepping foot in, I find it totally amazing and a testament to him that this book totally turned me around on him.

This is easily one of the best Ultimate universe books I've read with wonderful new plays on classic Marvel characters, which is what the whole Ultimate series set out to do with it's original launch.

Each wonderful self-contained story with a great cast of new and old characters alike . . . I absolutely LOVED this series.  I almost wish this would continue on and become an on-going, delays or not, simply because of how much I've enjoyed each and every issue.  This is my first exposure to Art Adams and it definitely won't be my last.  The man packs so much personality and detail into every frame that it's almost ridiculous that he even gets these issues done in any amount of time.

Jeph Loeb may have washed away a lot of my faith in him with Ultimatum, but he sure rebuilt something way more beautiful with Ultimate X.
May 5, 2011 1:42 am I absolutely loved this issue, with the little dig at the X-Men and also the stuff going on in the background while Tigra and Pym are talkin' in the party.  Hilarious stuff.
April 13, 2011 11:38 am I still think Fantastic Four would be a better fit for Zowie, but this could be cool too.
March 28, 2011 3:50 pm This list needed a little more Chris Pine.  I still think Pine would make an awesome Daredevil for the reboot.
March 25, 2011 1:09 am Some might think I'm crazy, but since the character's introduction in Chew, I always thought John Rhys-Davies would make an amazing Savoy.
December 8, 2010 2:03 pm I'm kinda shocked at everyone's indifference or dislike to this book, since it's easily my top Avengers book right now.  People seem to knock Bendis' quick and witty banter but I feel it really suits this book and has been building a fun team dynamic throughout.

Immonen is a personal favorite of mine and his art has been absolutely great on this series so far.

This issue was a fun read and nice little in-between for some arcs.

Love this title.
December 2, 2010 9:34 pm Lemire packed so many brilliant artistic moments in just this single issue that it blows my mind.  From the framing of the attacks while Jepperd does his talk on remembering faces, to the clue breakdown scene in Singh's lab, and of course down to those final few pages of the fist fight.

All expert storytelling simply through visual imagery that's only aided by Lemire's great writing.

Easily one of my favorite books out right now.  Love Lemire.

 The second half of this comic is actually an old reprint of the first Ultimate Spidey Super Special #1.  I think it's kinda weird they tossed it in here, but I won't complain.
