This whole story . . actually the rebirth of this series . . started with the killing of Wanda. At least as far as we know . . . she's dead . . or as dead as anyone is in the comic book world. Anyways, somehow she was killed by a 'magic bullet'. And I don't mean the one fired from the grassy knoll. So Magneto, and his Brotherhood, attack the Mansion to retrieve her body, and in the process convinces Quicksilver to come along with him. They then retreat to the Savage Land. The Ultimates do what they do . . and decide to send a team after him. They also decide to leave a team in New York to investigate Wanda's shooting. In the Savage Land, the team is in for a heck of a fight because they also have to deal with Ka-zar, Shanna, and their tribe. Oh yeah . . Sabretooth is there also . . for some reason. But I think the group left in Manhattan may be the bigger problem. Janet and Hank discover that most of the ones that stayed behind at Tony's tower . . including Tony . . are actually robots. I think these may be the Ultimate Universe version of Ultron. Actually that's just a guess, but . . . Hank tells Janet that they whole situation may be his fault because the leader, the one posing as Giant Man . . "He's our son." Anytime Jeph Loeb is at the writing helm you just know it's going to be a good story. He really works all angles of the characters and their stories. He does a great job of pulling the reader in. Also . . the artwork of Joe Madureira . . is incredible. I know he won't be on this book forever. He's just to big of a talent. So enjoy his art on this title while you can. I especially love his women. Shanna and Valkrie look sexy as hell. Anyways next issue is supposedly the conclusion of this story, so it'll also probably be Joe's last issue. That's sad. But . . since he hasn't done anything lately, I'm just happy for the issues that we did get. This is easily one of the best books out there right now. Hands down!
