Ultimate X-Men, Volume 5: Ultimate War Book

The war of X-Men verse AVENGERS! I mean Ultimates!

So Magneto is a real piece of shit. After getting his memories back he decides to tell the world they're super fucked. So Xavier goes into hiding with his X-Men to try and get him back. At the same time Nick Fury assembles is Ultimates team to hunt down Magneto and slap a little sense into him. In doing so we have X-Men and Ultimates going head to head mostly because Magneto is pulling all the right strings.

This was a lot better than the last volume. A lot more fun with some great fights. Ever wanna see Wolverine take on the Ultimates/Avengers and fuck some shit up? He does some narly shit here that I loved. Oh and also we all know Wolverine did some sneaky shit to Cyclops, it's pretty screwed up how manipulative he is here. Also, Magneto as a villain is pretty cool here, he's super strong.

My re-read of the Ultimate X-Men universe has been pretty fun tus far. A 4 out of 5.

As far as Ults books go, this wasn't all that bad?

Granted, I hadn't read any of the Ultimate X-Men books so I was a bit lost as to how all of that worked. How old is Jean Grey here since Wolverine's apparently in love with her? I'm... uncomfortable. Storm's dialogue was god awful.

Other than that, the plot was okay. Avengers v X-Men because Magento is terrorizing America and threatening to kill all homo sapiens. As per ushe... This time the Ultimates are tasked with taking them down and Charles Xavier's X-Men at the same time for lying about Magneto being dead. I'm well aware that I'm rating this higher than most Ults books because it wasn't aggressively bad, women weren't being abused and the Hulk only ate people off screen.

So... yay?
