    A Must Read Book

    Thank god for Nick Spencer. This new run of Ultimate X-Men is the best there has been since before Robert Kirkman did his run on the first volume of Ultimate X-Men.

    Kitty has killed Stryker, who with his dying breath, has ordered an army of Nimrod Sentinels to hunt down all mutants on Earth. Rogue led them into this trap, but claims she is only doing what God is telling her to do. Who is God? Apparently a back-from-the-dead Professor X. WHAT?!

    This book is a great read. It satisfies with every issue, but always leave you wanting more. It is the best of the mate titles in my opinion. The development of Kitty as the leader of the X-men is a great plot line. She has watched as all of her friends were killed in Ultimatum, and is still dealing with the death of her first love, Peter Parker. Johnny Storm brings an interesting dynamic, and is a great comic buddy to Bobby Drake. Rogue is clearly adding up to become more interesting down the road, as she is clearly all messed up. Of course, let's also not forget Jimmy Hudson. We basically get to see what Wolverine was like when he was first becoming Wolverine.

    In short this is a must read. Especially if you are disenfranchised with the whole Regenisis thing over in the main Marvel Universe. There are so many characters in the main Marvel Universe, that it is a full time job to keep track of what is going on. Here, you can see how a new team of X-Men develop and deal with serious hate against mutants. Plus, the idea of all characters in Ultimate Marvel stay dead, begs the question, who is this God guy any way?

      We see the end of the first story arc in which our team ( Shadowcat/Shroud, Jimmy Hudson, Iceman, Human Torch and Rogue) are engaging Stryker's now controlled Nimrod Sentinels. Being betrayed by a close member and Pietro's Intervention, turning a bad situation into a worse one; Kitty and the X-Men barely made it out of the whole quagmire, but not without realizing how bad the situation has become and the crazy ending ( did not saw that one coming) by Rogue and a unexpected return.The Good:This i...
