This title has a few things going for it. First . . . it's the Ultimates. And of course that means we're in the Ultimate Universe. Yay! Then . . it's written by Jeph Loeb. And last, but not least, it's drawn by Joe Madureira. There's really not much else this book could do to be near perfect. Unless it was free of course! Ha-ha, just playin'! It really is a great book though. Like I said, this book has everything. It even has Spider-man. He's in a neat little fight with Hawkeye in the beginning. But mostly this issue is about the attack on the Avengers . . whoops . . sorry, the Ultimates, by the Brotherhood of Evil. Last issue the Scarlet Witch was shot down. This issue, Magneto and his team have come to retrieve her body. This team consists of the Blob, Lorelei, Sabretooth, Mystique and Jamie Madrox. They do so, and in the process, take Quicksilver with them also. But after they leave, they find out they have even more problems. Knocking on their door is none other than . . . Wolverine. Nice cliffhanger. The real hot part about this book though is Valkrie. The bio says that 6 weeks ago she was an ordinary groupie that now possess' the power of a goddess. They aren't sure how she got those powers, or how she enthralled Thor so quickly. But she is . . . HOT! Lorelei comes to disable Thor . . you know, take out the big-guns quick . . and Valkrie is jumping around fighting her and Thor. And I'm telling you, this chick is HOT! Meoww! Plus Mystique goes up to try to confuse Tony, by posing as Natasha, and she is equally as hot! So really, in my opinion, this book has everything. Action, intrigue, sex, great characters, great story, and great art. This is the third incarnation of the group, and, in my opinion, the best yet. Now we'll just have to see if they can survive the long run. Let's hope so.
