Review # 1 was written on 2017-12-12 00:00:00 Sean Maxwell Who needs continuity? Not the new X-men writer who jettisons it all for a lame ass story about a street drug named Banshee which causes mutations. Can't express how ridiculous this whole arc was. Worst Ultimate X-men story by far. The stupidity all starts with Alpha Flight showing up to kidnap Northstar, who is now living at the Xavier's School with Colossus. How that happened since last issue is never explained. Then Jean is somehow back after leaving last issue. How that happened is never explained. The professor has now left to be Moira. How that happened isn't ever explained. A surprise X-man turns out to be an addict of this mutant meth drug. That is explained but is just so idiotic the writer might as well have not explained it. And even new plots are just left dangling because . . . Who the hell knows why. Guess Coleite didn't know how to resolve them. All in all, the worst Ultimate X-men story of the entire run so far. OMG, this one sucked.

Review # 2 was written on 2020-07-08 00:00:00 Oliver Schwol Collects Ultimate X-Men #94-97, with new creative team of Aron Coleite (Heroes!) and Mark Brooks. As the mutants regroup some of their new found vulnerabilities lead down to the dark paths of substance abuse. Also debuts for Ultimate Alpha Flight, Banshee, Firestar and Rahne Sinclair. Huge jump in quality for this series! 7.5 out of 12.
