2.0 out of 5 stars Does NOT give Ultimate X-Men a necessary shot in the arm., 29 Jan 2009
By Oddball (Bristol, UK) - See all my reviews
Volume 19 of the Ultimate X-Men series is, by quite some distance, the worst of the series to date. I am afraid to say the writer has seemingly run out of ideas, however I will relay the good before the bad...

There are some good points. The artwork in this volume is really quite good, maybe not as good as the first few books or the "Astonishing X-Men" but much better than it has been for quite a while (although this is obviously my personal opinion!). Also this volume does contain a few "moments" of brilliance, I won't give them away, but predictably they do involve Wolverine!

Alas, these points do little to detract from a very weak storyline, [mild spoilerage coming up]consisting of a slight kidnapping and more pointless X-Men infighting (there are no meaningful baddies), and my main bugbear, the anti drugs angle. Well I say angle, its more like a punch in the throat. I know that (almost) all sci-fi is related to real issues & I have no problem with this at all. X-Men has had an anti discrimination message from the beginning, and usually has done it very well without the story or excitement suffering but I have a major gripe with the total lack of subtlety with which the "drugs r baad" point has been rammed into this X-Men comic. Really there is no other "story" at all.

Oh... one other good point is that I suspect you will be able to leave this volume out of your collection without missing anything that will affect following volumes!

1.0 out of 5 stars Worst of the series by far, 1 Aug 2009
By Brian Lelas "laerfan" (Dublin, Ireland) - See all my reviews
This is the worst of the Ultimate X-men collections. It covers the first batch by "Heroes" writer/producer Aron Coliette. Those of you who have given up on "Heroes" because of how much of a wasted opportunity it was from Season 3 onwards, will likely throw this book at the wall and leave the series forever.

After Robert Kirkman's interesting retelling of the Phoenix story amongst others, the new writer has come along and brought with him some of the worst ideas ever to be laid down in print in an Xmen book. Without giving away spoilers, this largely involves mutants taking a special drug to gain secondary and/or tertiary mutations. Not only does this render much of what we know about the story as useless and meaningless, it also negates the characters we know and love by changing some of them completely.

The plot is atrociously bad, seemingly random at times and a complete mess. The artwork is the only good aspect of this book, but even this is tainted by how ridiculous and downright poor the ideas are.

More frustrating is it that this is the last of the run until the Ultimate Fantastic Four crossover (which nobody wanted in the first place) and this terrible writer has now been signed up to do the "Requiem" conclusion.

It's a crime. It's easily the worst book I've ever read.

4.0 out of 5 stars Absolute..., 7 Jan 2009
By Gavin S. Crosby - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
So Volume 19. Absolute Power. The continuation of the series after Apocalypse was always going to be tough but Vol. 19 does pretty well. The action is as good as ever and the story is sound and characters continued well. I can't help feeling though that it was lacking something more far reaching and substantial. Still a very good read and great art but just didnt quite hit the same heights as the last few volumes. Thats why it gets only 4 stars
