Ultimate Fantastic Four Volume 2: Doom TPB (Ultimate)

Rating:
Summary: Ultimate Doom
Review: After Marvel Ultimate universe vets Brian Michael Bendis and Mark Millar introduced readers to the Ultimate version of Marvel's first family, both writers departed to make way for a new ongoing scribe, and that writer is none other than comic legend Warren Ellis. Ellis, who gave comic fans classic stories with his Transmetropolitan, Orbiter, and Planetary series, writes these four young heroes as they are still learning their new found powers. We see Reed go through trials and tribulations as he copes with becoming the reluctant leader of the group (his revealing of the Fantasticar is hilarious), and we also get to see just what happened to Victor Van Damme. When Ellis finally reveals the Ultimate version of Doctor Doom, it will send chills down your spine. The story is excellent, and the art by Hulk artist Stuart Immonen is great as he has much improved over his previous works. Ellis seems to be a perfect fit in Marvel's Ultimate universe, as his current mini-series Ultimate Nightmare is amazing, and his upcoming mini Ultimate Secret looks even more promising. All in all, it looks like Ultimate Fantastic Four is shaping up to maybe be the best the Ultimate line has to offer, and with Warren Ellis at the helm who knows what heights the title will go to.
