Grimlock ♥ Ultra Magnus
Grimlock ♥ Ultra Magnus rated it 10 years ago
This was well written, taut, and said something about the characters, especially those forced to make, as Cyclops points out, choices too horrible to contemplate. How far are the X-Men willing to go when the Skrulls put fifty thousand civilians into buildings and seal them? What happens when the...

There's some character development, but not much meat - not much emotional content here. It's odd: I usually adore Warren Ellis, so this was a bit of a let down. There's something deliciously nasty about Ultimate Hulk, though, so I do suggest this just for him.

I don't. And it whacks me right in the face with a big, shocking twist. I've gotta say, kinda loving it at this point. I'm not usually a huge time travel fan - if only because I'm not usually that into history, specifically if they plop me down with a Visigoth. But add the cybernetic armor, ...

This sounds like a mishmash that wouldn't work to me, but it just does. I can't explain why, although I suspect the breakneck pace helps as you don't have time to go, 'wait, what?' The truth is that the Visigoths being enslaved by Romans, then captured by aliens, gives Aric a reason to want to...

The Hulk is sad. I deduce this from the fact that he has taken to hulk out in somber grays instead of his more usual jolly green hue, and the fact that in human form he dresses like a homeless trucker and looks like a kicked puppy. (These are probably just Ultimate things, but whatever.)The Hulk is ...

A weak 3 stars:The artwork was good, though not as good as I found in Volume 3. The titular "god in the bowl" was particularly lackluster and disappointing.Howard's story, "The God in the Bowl" is good, and the artists do a fine job of visualizing it. I wasn't as fond of the filler that preceded and...

May have read in December, I forget. Anyway, this is another Ultimate Iron Man tale from Warren Ellis that starts off with compelling and intriguing character, moral, and plot questions and then ends up in bizarre WTF-is-that and WTF-does-that-have-to-do-with-any-of-these-issues pulp comics land. ...

I continue to enjoy this series. The author and artists have changed, but they still have good material to work from, and the story is very good. If you have followed the series, you can see some differences in the art style, but overall, the feel of the series continues to be very good. The charact...

I continue to enjoy this series put out by Dark Horse. However, this particular volume marks a transition as the series changes authors and artists. There is some work from the initial authors of the series, and then work from new writers, including Mike Mignola, of Hellboy fame. Conan is still a yo...
