Ultimate Power #4 - Marvel


With J.Michael Straczynski writing and Greg Land on art, what more can you expect from this book but perfection? Oh yeah, we also got all the fantastic characters from the Ultimate universe also. My favorite Ultimate book is the Ultimates. But we don't get that one very often. This is like 3 times better than that book ever was. It's phenomenal! Everybody's trying to figure out how to get over to the Supreme universe to get Reed back. It dawns on Peter that Thor could probably use his hammer to create a dimensional portal to follow their energy trail. Well of course Peter is right. Over in that universe we find out that one of the probes Reed sent over had a spore attached to it. " . . . as it passed through the inter-dimensional rift, the energies surrounding the probe interacted somehow with the spores . . . . sped up their evolutionary process so that when they got here . . ." They expect the final tally of fatalities will be in the tens of millions. Maybe more. Which of course they're blaming solely on Reed. But we see in the helicarrier on the way over, that Fury is having a meeting with somebody, and they know that the spore was manufactured. But we're not sure yet who he's talking to. And their luck isn't going to get any better because as soon as they drop in, Mark is out in the atmosphere waiting for them. And ready to engage! This is the best Ultimate mini series yet. Fantastic stuff.
