What an amazing book. I think this may be the best volume yet. But it's early. So . . we'll see. Jeph Loeb and Joe Madureira are at the helm this time. It seems as if Marvel is allowing certain liberties with these characters, and he definitely appears to be taking advantage of the freedom. Of course it's the Ultimate Universe, so new and radical thinking is encouraged. Also Joe's artwork is amazing. He's using more of a painted style in this book, and it's incredible. Page after page of beautiful panels. And the page where Logan meets up with Magda, and apparently she seduces him . . . was really something. Worth the price of admission alone. Right now this book has everything. Especially with the addition of Wolverine. We get some of Logan's back story from the end of WWII. How he first came across the Magneto clan. And how he learned first hand just what the extent of Wanda's powers are. We also have the whole thing with Thor and Valkyrie kind of floating around out there. There's the Clint Barton with the death wish hanging around. And don't forget about the sex-tapes, of Tony Stark's, that are floating around on the internet. Now, with this issue, half of the group has gone off in search of Wanda's body, and they've landed in the Savage Land. "Welcome to our home. I'm Shanna and this is my boyfriend Ka-Zar." The other half is looking in to the "magic" bullet. Wanda has already found out that it was actually made by Stark Industries. But it looks like she's got bigger problems on her hands. This is what the Ultimate Universe is all about. Pushing the boundaries. Looking at things from a different perspective. Being daring. Letting it rip!
