For those players in 4th edition this is a must have.

Players Handbook 2 introduced new races and clases which add to the level of any existing or new game. Including the return of sorcerer's and barbarians; gnomes and Half-orcs.

New classes are well-balanced and add greater strategies to the game.

Bruce Wayne/Batman always had a great origin and when DC were retelling the origin of the hereos Batman was the one that changed the least.

Year one has a great feel, classic looking pencils, no superfreak shows just the Dark Knight and Lady Gotham.

A must read for any follower.

After the great aftermath events of Grand Theft America the Ultimates are back to solve a crime against one of their own.

As the book's title one can expect a lot of a mess to get out there; internal conflicts, Magneto's brotherhood of Mutants looking for their own crime punishment...

I enjoyed the story even though I thought it was way too short. Jeph Loeb proofs he still has what it takes to continue Millar's expectacular revival of the Avengers.

Pencils are good and the mistery of who committed the crime is kept throughout the pages. Battles are savage but as the volume only last for a few pages and the bloodshed is limited unlike the preciding storyline. Overall the volume is OK; readers must remember that Millar's first arch the asembling of the team was not that good either.

Some readers may think the Ultimates may be loosing steam and Scarlet Witch was many fanboys favorite in the team. I will still give Loeb a chance and let him see to what level is he going to take the avengers.

Tonight the Bat will die!

How many times have Batman readers heard this quote over and over again? This time with the build up to this arch and the title it surely have the reader the impression the Bat was not going to get an easy way out.

Overall R.I.P. did not meet my expectations; fight scenes are quick and not epic as other encounters. Pencils are great but the storyline is a weak as Batman's mental health.

This volume is the last installment in the X trilogy(Earth X, Universe X and Paradise X) by the same authors.

The premise that started this last volume was excellent; as throuout the saga the moral dilemmas are there, getting more and more complex as pages turn. However about half way through the volume II the big eversurprising picture starts wearing out really quick.

Ross and Krueger were told by Marvel they epic was ending earlier than they had expected so the end seems to be rushed and none consequencial to earlier events in the saga even leaving many loose ends.

Ross admitted he was not fond of many of the heroes making apperiances through the whole Universe-Paradise X archs. It can be seen as sheer fan power to include them in this multiverse X; such as Wolverine and it clearly makes no justice to this character or many others forced in the storylines.

Overall the X trilogy has been the most complex superhero reading I have found in the last years, I enjoyed every page of it specially the dicussions between X-51 and Uatu in Earth X.

Not the classical superhero with superpowers against the overscheming villain. All volumes are written and drawn by guys thinking outside the box coming up with the biggest picture ever in the Marvel universe.

The trilogy is a must read for anyone who was ever into Marvel and wants to read a version of their book of Relevations.
