Ultimates 2 #12 - Marvel




The Liberators have come to capture America. And they're not afraid of using as much force as possible. So this has brought everyone back together. Including the Hulk, who they tricked the world into believing was killed. But with these guys, they really need all their big guns. The problem is, they caught the Ultimates, and the country, so much by suprise, that they had already gained a lot of ground by the time they could mount any form of counter attack. The great part about this story is the writing. The way Mark Millar has his characters take a different view of things, is just genius. The attitude that the hulk takes when the guy beating up on him start taunting him. "I'm bigger than you, stronger that you and , unlike you, I still have my genius intellect, Doctor Banner. In other words . . . . YOU'RE SCREWED!!". The banter between characters is just more life like. Also, a lot of times, what they say is what you would say if you were in that situation. There's no real hero posturing, it's just down and dirty. Just like real life. And of course Hitch and Neary on pencils and inks, makes each page look like you're watching a movie. The flow between frames is just real smooth and natural. It's taken a long time to get to issue 12. 2 series and 24 books later, and we're finally here. But, I'm not gonna' complain to much, because this is such a fabulous book. I'm just glad it's here now, and I can enjoy it.
