Ultimate X-Men is just ultimately SENSATIONAL!!!!
Ranking: 5 stars
I just love these first two story arcs of Ultimate X-Men. "The Tomorrow People" and "Return to Weapon X" are the best story arcs of the series, along with "World Tour" and "Return of the King!" This is one of my favorite interpretations of the X-Men because it shows the darkness of racism (to a degree where mutants are just killed randomly on the streets by the sentinels), has new original origins of the individual X-Men, great artwork by Adam Kurbert and story lines by renowned comic book writer Mark Millar, and my favorite version of the dreaded Magneto. I think the Ultimate version of Magneto is better than the original because he is more dark, sinister, and wants to wipe out the human race so that Homo Superior can dominate the Earth. Who knew that he would actually reprogram the sentinels to hunt humans instead of mutants! That is the best villain the X-Men could ever fight in my opinion!
These two story arcs of Ultimate X-Men fully brought the Ultimate Marvel universe to life! This Double-Sized Volume of Ultimate X-Men, along with Vol. 3 & 6, Ultimate Spider-Man Vol. 1,2,4,17, and 19, and Ultimates Vol. 1 are the best of what the Ultimate Marvel universe has to offer!
