3.0 out of 5 stars Ultimate Power, 15 Mar 2009
Ultimate power was for me an idea that meant I had to have this book, despite some discouraging reviews I had read elsewhere.
I am a fan of both the ultimate universe and the supreme power universe, slightly favouring the latter, but enjoying both either way.

With this book a knowledge of these two universes is not really needed, providing, you have a knowledge of the original marvel universe, and you are aware that that the squadron supreme are marvel's take on the justice league of america from dc comics.

However the problem is not in the idea but in the execution. I don't wish to give too much of the plot away, but this starts with Reed Richards launching a number of orbs into a number of varying dimensions in order to seek out a cure for his friend Ben Grimm.

Not long after this occurs a group of heroes appear from one of these neighbouring dimensions; battle ensues, which brings spiderman, the ultimates and the x-men into the picture. Once the battle has ceased the new heroes intoduce themselves as the squadron supreme and claim that reed richards has caused the death of millions as a result of sending an orb into their dimension, which in turn brought through with it an unstopable creature which is killing their world.

The squadron take reed to find a way to stop this thing then put him on trial for all the deaths this thing has caused. They leave and some x-men, the ultimates, the remaining fantastic four and spiderman all give chase.

Ok so that is the idea behind it, and for me it was a bit of a thin story, especially since it is very much a background situation.

The main part of this book seems to be numerous fights when the marvel characters and the squadron supreme come up against one another, with a brief appearance from doctor doom, who seems capable of beating both sets of heroes as well as a few pages of the hulk rampaging through everyone also.

I feel that this book had so much potential, and little of it was utilised, the book could have been twice as thick (possibly three times as thick) alowing room for better fight sequences as well as more focus on the reason they all came together.

I would recommend reading this, if you come across it in your local library, or borrow it off a friend if you know one who owns it.
Not essential reading, but good artwork, and a few lines which may make you laugh, can be fun, but not fun enough, especially for the cost.
