Ultimate X-Men #91 - Marvel


This one was probably one of the best issue of this title that I've seen in quite a while. Last issue we were following Sinister. He had to kill 10 mutants so that he could transform. At the end of the issue, we find out that that transformation was to be reborn as Apocalypse. The final Mutant he kills is Angel. So that leaves Wolverine and his little group to fight Apocalypse. But they don't really know what it is that they're fighting yet. They don't know that he can control them . . and any other mutant that he comes in to contact with. And through them, anyone that they come in contact with. So Wolverine's team attempts to fight him, but then Nightcrawler shows up with a squad of Morlocks, to give him a little "what for!". But all of them are having trouble, because he's turning them against each other. He doesn't really take over their minds, they can warn the people they're hurting, but he does control their powers and their bodies. Even Spider-man, the Fantastic Four, and SHIELD and Carol Danvers joins the fight. But the issue ends with the Fantastic Four and Jean looking on as 2 new-comers join the fray. It looks like Magneto and . . I don't know . . maybe Cable? I'm not sure, but they're the ones that'll be leading the charge next issue. I have to admit, this issue was a lot more action packed than some of the previous ones. This one actually kept my interest. Salvador Larroca did the cover and the interiors. This guy deserves a medal for all the work he's been doing lately. The artwork was fantastic, as usual, in this issue. Especially the scene where Apocalypse pulls of Wolverine's arm. Stunning! Thanks to everyone for a much better issue.
