Nerd Initiative - Josh Allen
Aug 13, 2025Von Randal is the guest artist for this issue, and he is fantastic from start to finish. This is the first time I'm seeing his work, and I have to say I'm very impressed with what I see. Every panel is so crisp, and detailed that it really adds to the stunning visuals you're used to in this Ultimate universe. Read Full Review

Aug 13, 2025In Ultimates #15, the heroes don't merely confront their pastthey begin to heal it. Beneath the specter of death, a new insurgency stirs, one where courage begins not with power, but with belief. Its a fitting, emotionally resonant chapter in a series that has thrived on redefining heroism for a fractured world. Read Full Review

Aug 16, 2025Ultimates #15 continues the quality that the book has become known for since the beginning. With plenty of character, lore, and fun action to keep readers craving more. The tide is beginning to shift, but the waters only get rougher from here. Read Full Review

AIPT - David Brooke
Aug 13, 2025The Ultimates #15 delivers thrilling action and a standout Iron Fist origin sequence, though it leans heavily on combat at the expense of deeper character moments. Still, Deniz Camp's inventive spins on Marvel mythos and She-Hulk's big moments make it worth the read, especially for fans eager to see the chessboard set before The Maker's return. Read Full Review

Weird Science Marvel Comics - mrgabehernandez
Aug 13, 2025The Ultimates #15 is an issue that introduces intriguing new lore but struggles to integrate it meaningfully into the main series. While the concept of Shen Qi is compelling and adds depth to the world, the artistic execution and the stagnant plot progression ultimately hold it back. Readers looking for advancements in the Maker storyline will find themselves waiting, while those interested in new world-building might appreciate the backstory, albeit at the cost of the main narrative.

Major Spoilers - Jonathan Cadotte
Aug 15, 2025The whole issue has a messy and unrefined look that can't be completely attributed to stylistic choices. Also, at times, the art just doesn't match the dialogue effectively, which creates awkward moments that are hard to follow. Read Full Review

I like it, but it feels like this comic just ends without a real conclusion.

Plot Iron Man, She-Hulk, Giant Man, and Danny Rand head out to find the mysterious Shang-Chi, descendant of Iron Fist and one of the immortal weapons. He's a combination of two Marvel Comics warriors. But in their path, they cross paths with The Immortal Weapon from Hulk #235, which almost defeats the team again, but She-Hulk unleashes her wrath and defeats him. This issue introduces the Ultimate version of Shang-Chi. However, it's a complex plot, too much information for a single comic, and it's a continuation. Art It's very organic and full of textures, with fewer details than the art we're used to in this comic. Summary The story of Ultimate Shang-Chi begins here.

Kind of a drop in quality from Camp here which is unfortunate, but they can't all be bangers.

This is my first time reviewing the Ultimates though I've been reading since the beginning. I like this series and it's always near the top of my reading stack but I feel like I'm always waiting for it to really "get good". We're introduced to a new character/concept almost every issue but then those characters never get developed. I feel like I know nothing about any member of this team. This issues introduces Shang Chi and Iron Fist. Neither is developed and probably won't be. The first half of the book is all back story/exposition but it focuses on Shang Chi's ancient lineage rather than the character I'm probably supposed to care about. The fight in the second half is okay but these Ultimates don't act as heroically as I'd like them to more
