The only reason I'm not giving this issue the highest rating: I think crossovers are a bad idea for this type of series.

Crossovers are what's killing American comics. Part of Absolute Batman's success, like Invincible or manga series, is that you don't need to read twelve parallel series to understand the plot: the main series stands on its own.

Honestly, what has been going on at Marvel these past few years? On the art side, we are here bordering on an almost amateur level, and Straczynski, who has proven time and again that he can be an excellent writer, is delivering the bare minimum, and that's me being generous.

I didn't even make it through the title. Sometimes you really wonder who these comics are supposed to be written for.

Best issue of Superman I've read in a long time.

I used to be one of the biggest Amazing haters back in the Zeb Wells era, but honestly I don't get the criticism this time. This arc's really good.

Wow, I can't find a single Reddit thread or review about it: that really shows how everyone feels a bit uncomfortable with this comic. Yet another legacy character born from an author's ego (and probably Marvel's push for synergy) that we'll never see again. She's going to join the new Sentry, Quasar, Ghost Rider, and the rest.

This comic feels like everything one shouldn't be when making a story with set ending in mind.

And that is: it tells, it doesn't show.

I can always praise art here. I do love it. But the timeskip we got, was way too major. What is left is us being told multiple things without us actually seeing them. We are given implication that they happened and that's it.

There's a pretty well-known meme online called Potential Man.
It's about that character everyone hypes up, the one who's supposed to be destined for greatness... but never quite lives up to it.
That's exactly what Ultimate Spider-Man feels like. A brilliant start, full of promise and then nothing. Truly the biggest wasted potential of any comic in recent years. At least Checchetto remain There's a pretty well-known meme online called Potential Man.

Finally, an event focused on Superman! The story isn't overly complex, but let's be honest: Snyder really knows how to build hype, deliver big moments, and hook you from the start without letting go. The tournament concept is simple, even very shonen-like, but super effective. I was a bit lost at first, especially with the Time Trapper, since I hadn't followed the other DC events and comics, but n Finally, an event focused on Superman!

I had originally rated it a 1 because I hated the ending, but I'm raising the score a bit since, looking back, aside from the ending the rest is decent (not amazing, but okay), and the art is definitely top-tier. Also doing it to balance things out, like comment who have nothing to do with the actual comic.

I'm one of those who think everything's already been said and done with mainstream universe Spider-Man, so honestly, hats off; this version feels fresh, with genuinely original ideas. I'm actually even more interested in the cosmic side of the story than the earthbound one with Osborn.

I read this comic twice in a row. Sure, it might have some flaws, but lately it's been so rare that I can only give it the highest rating.

I get the feeling a lot of people have lost patience with this title, but objectively this was the best issue so far, finally some explanations. That said, it's still too slow, too heavy on exposition and wordy for not much payoff. But there's progress, at last. And I'm finally starting to get used to the art !
