This book has 3 very positive things going for it. First, J Michael Straczynski is writing it. Second, Greg Land is drawing it. Actually, painting it would probably be more accurate. These pages are incredible. And third, this is an Ultimate book. And as we all know, when things get amped up in the Ultimate universe, you know some heavy sh*@ is going down. Seriously, on this book alone we have the Ultimate Fantastic Four, whom this book really revolves around. Especially Reed. We have the Ultimates. Whom we just don't get to see enough of in their regular book. Mainly because it takes so long between issues. We have the Ultimate Spider-man, and X-men. And, on top of all this, we've taken all these fantastic characters, and taken them to the Squadron Supreme universe. I don't know if this is the same Squadron Supreme, or ones in a different universe, but, I really don't think it matters. The book is worth it alone for the battle between Thor and Hyperion. It's not so much a battle, as the meeting of gods. Johnny and Sue join the fight, for all the good it will do them. I say they'll probably go at it for another issue, before someone with a cooler head finally prevails and they pool their resources to try to solve the Squadrons dilemma. Catastrophe actually. Right now there's a lot of testosterone flying around out there, so it'll take an issue or two for them to get their heads on straight. But, in the meanwhile, enjoy some major mayhem and carnage. Let's get ready to . . . . . well you know what I was going to say. Incredible book.
