Customer Reviews

I enjoyed it, but...
I agree with the 'Authority' comparison.. largely from the swarms of aliens/robots/monsters/clones that seem to turn up and fill the sky, also that it didn't have the same feel as previous volumes but perhaps that was just because all the sub-plots came together for the big finale, which felt a little rushed for such a global event. Next week the world (that is America) will be back to normal.

I did enjoy it, don't get me wrong, there are some great moments in there and its well illustrated and written.. despite the pacing, perhaps I'll go back and read part one then (this) part two in order. Oh yes, despite the X men, Spider-man and the Fantastic four appearing on the cover they don't really do much except battle the bad guys in the background, I'd still Recommend it.

The same with a few differences
Obviously, you should not be reading this, if you have not read the previous ones. I can therefore leave this review as simply it as good as the previous (although I also was sympathetic to the axis).

However, one of Millar's strong points has been his originality and especially realism. In this one he departs with these completely. Any element of realism is completely lost as there are literally hundreds of different super-heroes and villains on one page at a time, and the main premise of the story is effectively giant flying robots attacking America!

It is stories like this that worry me that the new Ultimate series are losing their originality. As a modern reader of Marvel, I look back with distaste at older Marvel stories with hundreds of different super-heroes on one page, as I find it completely unrealistic and at times childish. I feel the same attitude to the constant use of robots. Unfouruntaley Millar uses both in this trade paperback. However, the last two reviews did not mention these two factors, hence I might be the only one this bothered.

The Ulitimates go Authority
Generally this was brillant! I loved it, it was fast, punchie, a proper bit of pop culture fun.

I do have a few reservations. If your a fan of The Authority you will love this...I am and I did. I just could not shake the idea that I was reading a different comic (this might just be me). The other thing is the resolution was all a bit American for me, perhaps I'm reading the wrong comic if I don't want that sort of thing, but the resolution was too simplisctic for my taste.

This almost sounds like I didn't tear through it like it was the best comic i've read in ages, love the art work, the styling, pacing and feel, all of which I enjoyed massively. Buy it you'll like it.
