Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Along with Brian Michael Bendis, Mark Millar has been one of the key writers for Marvel Comics in the 21st century. After proving himself in the ’90s as a talent to watch while writing for DC Comics and the UK comic 2000AD, his arrival to Marvel came at a time when Ultimate Spider-Man had just shot up the sales charts. It was in this environment that Millar made his first major contribution to Marvel with Ultimate X-Men, as Millar integrated forty years’ worth of X-Men history, characters and lore into a solid two-year run, making the companion title to Ultimate Spider-Man every bit the creative and commercial success. Next up was The Ultimates, a new rendering of the Avengers that was to continue building on the success of the Ultimate line. He and artist Bryan Hitch pulled it all off in spades: The Ultimates and its sequel, Ultimates 2, were ensconced at the top of the sales charts every month; what’s more, they were critical successes, as well. Meanwhile, Millar was invited to enter the regular Marvel Universe to take a stab at two of its most iconic characters: Spider-Man and Wolverine. Paired with industry heavyweights to draw his stories — Terry Dodson on Marvel Knights Spider-Man and John Romita Jr. on Wolverine — Millar brought the same fast-paced and cleverly constructed plots with which his Ultimate fans were already familiar. Amid building a small library of Millarworld indie comic books — including the titles Chosen and Wanted, the latter of which was turned into a Hollywood blockbuster starring Angelina Jolie — he managed to write Civil War, the epic seven-issue miniseries that definitively reshaped the landscape of Marvel’s heroes. Kick-A**, a Marvel Icon project done in tandem with John Romita Jr., made an impressive impact on the sales chart before also being adapted for a major motion picture. In addition, Millar has reunited with Civil War artist Steve McNiven in both the pages of Wolverine and their creator-owned book Nemesis.

I've never been a huge fan of the Fantastic Four, but I've been getting more and more into them recently. This collection features stories by Mike Carey, who is an absolute visionary. The stories are compelling and pure fantasy/science fiction at its very best. The artwork is incredible. Pascual Ferry is amazing when he's on his game, and he's at his very best here. The animated style of Stuart Immonen, featured occasionally in this volume, is exciting, dynamic, and a joy to stare at. Buy this book!

Among the Ultimate FF stories these are not my favorite. The introduction of the Inhumans has a very casual feeling that almost it could be a dream and the first story is forgettable, actually I had to take a glimpse again to recall what it was about. The art is quite different to the rest of the series and age so much to the young characters.

The "Ultimate FF" series starts to hit its stride here, having finally gotten past all the set-up and exposition, and settles into adventure-oriented stories that take only one or two issues to tell (as opposed to longer story arcs of previous volumes). In this sense it begins to feel like the old, original FF, back in the early days of Kirby and Lee.

The revamped, postmodern Mad Thinker is a real gas -- one of the most interesting, most creepily psychotic Marvel baddies I've seen in years (and a definitely improvement on the old, two-dimensional Thinker...) The second story, introducing the new version of the Inhumans, was less satisfying... the plot whizzed by too fast and things were not well explained; if you didn't already know the whole Inhumans mythology, I'm not sure how much of it would make sense. In both stories, however, Jae Lee's artwork is consistently dynamic and fresh, challenging readers to follow the graphic side of the comicbook equation in new and exhiliarating ways. It was a good read.

(PS - I'm not sure what the other reviewer is referring to when he talks about this series promoting drug use and anti-Americanism. His comments don't seem to have anything to do with the actual content of the book, so take it all with a grain of salt.)

Rhonda is a terrible villain. The entire Think Tank arc was boring, and the art was bland at best. The best part was Mark Millar's annual that introduces the Ultimate Inhumans. This book is very thin, only holding 2 issues and an annual that's only slightly longer then an issue. Sadly you have to read this to have completely read UFF, but at least it's a short nightmare.

This volume was a good read. I wish they had gone a little more into detail about the Inhuman's society, but the Mad Thinker segment was fantastic.

Yes, the last five issues in this hardcover collection are completely forgettable. For three issues ("Devils"), the Fantastic Four engage with a new version of Diablo, who attacks then from 15th century Milan. The character design is intriguing, and the artists seem to enjoy the intricacies of European scenery in the time period, but the story is lackluster, with a "kidnapping the loved ones" idea that feels tired before it is even fully established (really, the Human Torch is notorious for not connecting to his girlfriend of the issue, but now he cares enough about this one to risk his life?) and a dumb excuse for some temporary new costumes (the team is so anxious to save their families that.. they design outfits out of Commedia dell'arte, and build hay carts? so they can sneak in without being spotted? This is absurd). And while I enjoyed the return of The Thinker in the limited series with the Ultimate X-Men, Ferry's art fails to capture the monstrous visuals that made her so unsettling in her first appearance, and the story isn't quite compelling enough to justify that.

The first half of the collection, though, with the God War story and the second Annual, is a must-read. The Mole Man story in the annual had me laughing out loud more than once (the character's consistent amoral lack of sympathy and fascination with a washerwoman disguise are beautiful), and I have never seen Carey more creative than when he designed a new team of aliens called Seed Nineteen, then put the main heroes in a "we're trapped in an alien world" story that feels fresh and new and compelling. It's possible to get just the God War story and the annual in paperback collections (
Ultimate Fantastic Four, Vol. 7: God War  and  Ultimate Annuals Volume 2 (v. 2) ), so if a reader hasn't been collecting the hardcovers, then this isn't an essential volume, but I highly recommend this book for those who have tried the other hardcovers. Even an occasionally underwhelming Ultimate FF story is worth a read, especially when paired with the phenomenal God War arc.

5.0 out of 5 stars A good addition to the series; old themes and `legends' reworked and enjoyable
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 25, 2011
The artwork was the first aspect which caught my attention in this volume of the `Ultimate' version of The Fantastic Four. Figures in shadows, silhouettes of action and expressions looming out of bleak faces set the scene for story arcs where the FF are not on top of their games.
`Think Tank' is a reworking of the very, very old story (FF #15) involving the first appearance of the Mad Thinker, I would have liked to have seen him reworked and given the excellent treatment The Mole Man has received but Rhona Burchill is suitably creepy and although exceptionally intelligent quite gothicly unhinged. Of course our heroes triumph but they admit through luck and the downbeat silhouetted conclusion is very effective. The final panels nicely setting up a later story arc.
`Inhumans' same excellent stark artwork and the `Inhumans' getting the `treatment'. Now good art (writing and artwork) is meant to engage the reader, and this does. So this is not a slamming of the writer, this is my emotional response to the characters. Quite frankly the Inhuman crew are the biggest bunch of self-absorbed, tedious `pains' I've ever come across. They've all got super-powers and they stay in splendid isolation - good - (I think the local humans actually know about them, but pretend they don't, so avoiding having to listen to long boring conversations about how beneath the Inhumans we all are). Princess Crystal cuts loose to try and find a more interesting life (not hard), and avoid marrying one Maximus-whose superpower might be to kill parties stone-dead with his moping demeanour. Anyhow Crystal meets the FF; Johnny Storms' hormones go into over-drive (even for him) and when she is dragged back by her relatives The FF set off in pursuit. The battle is slightly one sided on account of there being thousands of super-powered bores but the FF survive and because they now know where the Inhumans live, the Inhumans are so disgusted and outraged they leave; the final panel and Ben Grimm's comment is an exceptionally good way to end the tale. Hate them Inhumans, loved the story though, I truly was engaged!

Much as I've enjoyed all of the Marvel Ultimate Universe stories I think this one is possibly the weakest of the lot. The Inhumans aren't really in it enough to justify the title and all of the rich history they have within the Marvel Universe is almost entirely missed out

2.0 out of 5 stars Worst of the series - by far
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 25, 2011
If you were going to skip any volume of Ultimate FF, this is the one! Terrible art (90% shadows) and a plot that had me yawning throughout. After the heights of the earlier volumes (and to be honest 5 and 6 pick up the pace again a heck of a lot) this one just left me totally flat. Glad I bought it for a few quid from a reseller rather than buy it full price!
