My biggest criticism of Ultimate Origin #1 is that it doesn't feel like a story yet. At this point, the book is more of a loose web of interconnected events that underpin the Ultimate Universe, and there's nothing here to really make you care about how the events play out. Even though readers of this book will probably already be familiar with several of the characters featured in the series, it wouldn't hurt to be given some reason to invest in them here. Without that investment, there's no drama, and the book risks feeling more like a fictional history lesson than it does a good story. I can only hope that future issues of the series will tie the various events of the book into a more compelling story, because without that dramatic connection, it's going to be difficult to get a lot of enjoyment out of this book.
