Which brings us to his re-work of the X-men. The X-men is no sacred cow for me, mess with them all you want. But the book still needs to have some internal logic, and some compelling characters that you care about (beyond the reference to the mainstream incarnations in other books). But in Ultimate X-men, the characters are all asinine, arrogant, mean, stupid, or just plain irrational.

Mark Millar is a loud, strong and sometimes controversial voice in the field of comics. CBR decided to analyze 15 of his very best stories. However, Millar's not just known for mainstream comics, as his work on indie books such as "Kick-Ass" and "The Secret Service" also gave way to critically acclaimed movie franchises. He's been churning out quite a bit of work at Image Comics, apart from his Millarworld imprint, helping build his creator-owned resume and film aspirations. This saw Captain America's team go underground while Iron Man's team adopted a police-like approach in apprehending this resistance by any means necessary.

Reviews about Ultimate X-Men, Vol. 1 (7):
Jeyn
This series does get better, but this first volume is seriously flawed. I refer you to the brilliant review written by Brown Rage from 2006 for his great points on the dialog and artwork, and I'll just skip those elements in my own review.

Mr Millar, the writer, seems to have a fundamentally hard time writing likable characters. It is well known that he hates super-hero comics. Yet, apparently to pay the rent, he keeps writing about them, usually in completely over-the-top reincarnations or re-imaginings in which he gets to transform them into jerky versions of themselves.

Take a look at his work in the Ultimates, Civil War, or Wanted, wherein you can see him writing stories that revolve around self-centered and arrogant people acting out.

Which brings us to his re-work of the X-men. The X-men is no sacred cow for me, mess with them all you want. But the book still needs to have some internal logic, and some compelling characters that you care about (beyond the reference to the mainstream incarnations in other books). But in Ultimate X-men, the characters are all asinine, arrogant, mean, stupid, or just plain irrational.

Most troublesome are the irrational characters, and most troublesome of those is Professor X. His actions and motivations are completely inexplicable, and seem to change from page to page. The only compelling and consistent aspect of his "vision" of mutant/human harmony is the incredible wealth he and his students are able to tap into- the only motivation I can see for any of the X-men joining up with him. (This character only gets worse in the second volume, btw.)

But the other characters fare no better: all get turned into shallow, strutting, and overly verbose bastards at the hands of Mr Millar. There's not one character among them with whom it is possible for the reader to identify.

Besides the characterizations, another absurdity is the way the characters' powers work. In this "Ultimate" incarnation, the characters' powers have apparently been jacked up to ultimate levels.

Why argue with this? Because it robs the narrative of internal logic and dramatic tension when we see: Colossus stop a speeding train by standing on the tracks, Storm easily fry Sentinels with one lightning bolt, Jean and the Professor perform experimental animal-organ to human transplant surgery by telepathically tapping into the minds of some research doctors we are supposed to believe exist somewhere off-screen. At one point, Magneto stops hundreds of Sentinels at once, then simultaneously reprograms them with his powers as they all levitate in the air. I don't care that the original Magneto could never have done that: it is just stupid in and of itself.

The technology that Professor X, SHEILD, and the Weapon X program is supposed to have access to is also ludicrous. I'm sorry but A) there is no way the X-men fly around in a B-2 Bomber. Just not going to happen. And B) the B-2 cannot "beam" people up into it, doesn't have VTOL, can't hold more than 3 people, it cannot turn invisible, it cannot hover, and it certainly cannot hover unseen, and unheard, and without knocking people over, above a crowded city square. And I don't care if this is the near future, and there are mutants and super-powers, there is no way SHEILD has invented clothing that can allow people to walk through walls and turn invisible. It is just cheap and easy storytelling to invent preposterous technology like this every time you need an easy plot device or narrative short-cut.

In conclusion, this book is a bloated mess created with a minimum of thought and a maximum of contempt for the characters, coherent dialog, narrative logic, and, I dare say, the human race itself.

Points are given for the artwork, the beautiful format, and the fact that this series improves over time (like when Millar finally stops writing it).

Since I don't want any confusion I did not give it 5 stars I it more than generously deserves only 2. Someone else was using my account and I haven't figured out how to change the star rating yet. Stupid b*st*rd slandering my good name.

Let me start with the things I did not like:
1)this version of Magneto- While he has a tragic backstory like his 616 version, this one an arrogant, unlikably jerk who verbally mistreats his children, believes himself to be the mutant messiaher, is willing to kill thousands of innocents to achieve his goals and was the one who caused the crippling of Charles Xavier because he disagreed with his ideals in the past.
2) Wolverine and Jean- this romance started wayy to quick and was not written well like 616 version.
3) first 2 issues are boring
Now to the better stuff. Artwork in this book is phenomenal. The second story with John Wraith capturing the members of the x-men and forcing wolverine to come save them was handled really well and gave just a darker perspective of this version of team x. Overall, if you love the x-men characters, some things might disappoint but it's a decent read. If you're new, you will enjoy it more than longtime x-men fans.

I enjoyed this a great deal the when I first read this at the dawn of the 21st century. It was a nice chance of pace from the bloated 616 continuity and soap opera stories of the 90s X-Men.

Upon rereading in 2016, I liked these first two arcs far less. They are entertaining, but they do not feel superlative in any way. The dialogue is stale and much to much is still explained (powers, origins, motivations).

Magneto is, by far, Mark Millar's best character. He is smart, intense, ruthless and understandable (clearly, Millar's Magneto was the model for Michael Fassbender's stunning portrayal of him). He dominates the first arc.

The second arc is the return to weapon x, which was clearly used as the inspiration for the early 2000s movie X2. It is a decent story.

This was a nice reboot. It hasn't aged great though.
