Ultimate Power #2 - Marvel


For an "ultimate" Marvel freak like I am, this is a dream book. First of all, we have the "ultimate" Squadron Supreme come to this earth, because they want to arrest Reed Richards. It seems one of the probes he sent out, without permission, destroyed their world. More on that next issue, I guess. So of course the "ultimate" FF is involved. Then Spider-man and Kitty Pryde show up to help them out. Well of course, Kitty calls up the "ultimate" X-men. Who are soon involved in the fracas. Next thing you know, the Ultimates show up. And finally, the Squadron's powers and physiology's get back in tune, it seems there was some kind of backlash or side-effect when they crossed dimensions, and now they can explain why they're here. That's when we find out that Reed's probe has somehow destroyed their earth. Now, add to this that the story was written by Brian Bendis, and beautifully drawn by Greg Land, and we have a "must have" book. This book has "classic" written all over it.
