Ultimate X-Men - Volume 5: Ultimate War

Pretty good book in the series pretty interesting how the ultimates and X-men mix it up.

Here we have two new Marvel creations meeting and fighting: The Ultimate X-Men and the Ultimates. The art is back up to par in this book. The story still as strong as the previous books. Even this far along they've kept it fresh.

This was a great comic X-Men vs. Ultimates first of all my two favorite characters Colossus and Wolverine were awesome. Colossus beat up iron for a little and then beat up Thor. And wolverine just killed every one in his path. The only thing i really wanted to see was Capn America vs. Wolverine. INsted all the action ends with Capn america playing a mind trick on wolverine then shooting him with a machine gun. Where is the hand to hand combat even though the better fighter is wolverine that would be great stuff ending is awful though

The showdown between the X-Men and the Ultimates in this 4-parter has been commonly terms as lackluste, but I actually enjoy it very much. The sypnosis has already been discussed in other reviews, so I'm just going add some other points that I thought were interesting. I particularly find the choice of "who vs who" very well done. Storm vs Thor, for example, was a clear indication for the weather girl vs the God of Thunder. Colossus taking on Ironman pits a man of steel against another. Also, the pace of the story was good enough to sustain interest in an other weak plot. A highly recommended read.

Magneto has returned and a new Brotherhood of Mutants blow up the broklin bridge. The ultimates decide to take the x-men down to for keeping maggs alive. Magnetos costume is much cooler and quicksilver and scarlet witch join up. It had no hulk in it but it says he escaped and at 6 people.And Banner is a vegitarian.The 4 installment is best Wolverine tears into iron man.Storm is clobbered by Thor only to have colosuss smash him up. Then Hawkeye shoots a nuclear arrow. Black widow blows up the x-jet and beast and prof X barely escape. Cap blasts wolverine and Ice-man ices the whole city and wasp captures xavier. It is a great buy
