After a bizarre experiment unexpectedly imbued them with extraordinary powers, high-school genius Reed Richards and his fellow adventurers must learn to adapt to their amazing new situation. But before they can even begin to get accustomed, former classmate Victor Van Damme - who was caught in the same experiment that gave the Fantastic Four their superhuman powers - returns to exact his revenge!

1. i don't like the ultimate universe idea at all. i dislike the infinite earths dc junk also. when you have iconic characters i don't think it's good to confuse the average non-comics fan (or even the average comics fan) with earth-2 superman, superboy prime, ultimates nick fury, etc. they water down the legacy and the impact of the great classic storylines and characters.
2. this is nowhere near as good as the lee/kirby fantastic four.
3. despite the above, this is a pretty good comics ... Read More

Reed is practically beating himself over what happened to himself and ... Read More

Finally, instead of being an independent group of superheroes, the fantastic four are under military "protection" in the Baxter Building. The soldiers are under orders to shoot to ... Read More

Let me clue you in, just in case you're of the uninitiated - Warren Ellis hates superheroes. Warren Ellis hates writing super hero comics; or as he calls them, Fight Comics. Warren Ellis' disdain for the genre shows bright and clear through this collection of the already amazingly bland Ultimate Fantastic Four. The ship not even Bendis could save, this series has been genuinely bad since day one. Warren Ellis took the book over as what he said was "a favor" to his friends Bendis and Millar who both left ...
