    As I write this year, 2025 has arrived, and another year has passed. Often, you can feel overwhelmed by the future and how impossible it appears to change it, but once you stop fighting, that is when you lose. You cannot change the past but you can do the work to alter the future. 2024 has ended, and we have a whole new year to work towards. Read Full Review

    If you've been reading all of the Ultimate books from Marvel since it's re-envisioning this is definitely one you're going to want to pick this book up. It's absolutely going to be coming back into play down the road, and hopefully they get their own book in a future issue. Read Full Review

    The Ultimates #8 is a bold and imaginative issue that continues to expand the new Ultimate Universe with inventive storytelling, exciting character dynamics, and high-stakes developments. While it occasionally stumbles in its exposition and emotional depth, it remains a compelling read for fans of Marvel cosmic storytelling and anyone looking for a fresh twist on familiar superhero conventions.

    Weird Science Marvel Comics - mrgabehernandez

    Jan 01, 2025

    The Ultimates #8 is nothing more than a flimsy excuse, much like Marvel's 2099 line, to introduce a team of variant characters. Deniz Camp's paper-thin plot succeeds in giving readers an oversized cameo introduction before the Guardian of the Galaxy from the 61st Century Galaxy disappears until they're needed later, and Juan Frigeri's art is a treat, albeit a wasted one.

    Plot Doom sends the Ultimates to different moments in time to learn more about the changes The Maker made millions of years in the future or past, but they are intercepted by the Ultimate Guardians of The Galaxy, made up of Star-Lord who has the ability to alter realities and move the stars, Ultimate Nullifier with the power of mental blocking and Cosmo the dog who can read minds, who come to rescue America Chavez. In the 61st century, the Maker, who is called at that time The Unmaker attacked them and this whole world created a kind of temporal Noah's Ark and they began to move in time escaping but they collided with an era that made all the guardians go to different moments, including America Chavez, she is a guardian of the galaxy.

    Deniz is best new name at Marvel. This run has made a fan of me. I'm enjoying Marvel more regularly due to Ultimate Spider-man and this. It's a shame Black Panther and X-Men aren't as good.

    Not my favorite issue of the run, but still another super intriguing one. I really appreciated the focus on America Chavez here. This series has been a lot of introductory issues for certain characters, but America's barely had her in it. Even moving forward in the series, she wasn't getting a whole lot of focus. That's not necessarily a bad thing in itself, but it's a little strange when you take a step back and look at the rest of the series.

    Leave to Camp to write political commentary through the series but also reach into the cosmology of this new universe! I know it felt like a lot was thrown into this issue but the gist of it is simple. Then Maker changes the history of this world, as a result the future also changes. The Guardians of the Galaxy managed to escaped erasure by (Insert Comic Book explanation here __________) bringing the smartest minds in the universe. They took everything they could from their 61st century and established outside of time. Literally a traveling century of people. Kinda of cool, no? That's when they ran into Khan the Conqueror and his army of genetically engineered descendants. I was a little excited to see them not going to lie. Khan and more

    I didn't like this issue as much as others in this series. There was a lot of telling instead of showing. But I like the creative team and will keep reading.

    TOO MUCH INFORMATION (TMI BRO) I haven't reviewed previous issues but I would say I enjoyed issues #1-7 and didn't feel like I had anything to add to the conversation because most people liked them too. But this was just bad. Like I can tell the writer has a lot of big ideas and some of them sound really epic but so many crammed in one comic felt kind of lame and rushed and honestly incomprehensible. Like retaining it is not really possible because there is nothing to relate to in order to remember some of the large amounts of information thrown at you so fast. Captain Marvel is like that NPC that just has so much dialogue about lame quest you could care less about. Then when she demands an emotional response there is nothing there b more
