Sep 12, 2016 Donovan rated it really liked it

Shelves: highly-recommended

Mark Millar is awesome. I've only read a few Claremont and Whedon X-Men books, but this is the best X-Men I've read so far. And I'll explain why, in detail.

The thing is, there's no set version of the X-Men as characters. That's the beauty of various writers and different stories, it's a varying spectrum of characterization. I would argue there are specific, recognizable qualities inherent to each character, and it behooves the writer to stay close to those qualities so the reader can better enjoy the story, instead of be distracted by how deeply "miswritten" or "misinterpreted" those characters are. And I think Millar has done just that.

The X-Men are neurotic, that's a fact. They're goofy, melodramatic, indecisive, and morally whimsical. They are also, like in many books, teenagers. While Millar's romantic dialog feels forced, I also recognize how terribly awkward and abnormal teenage romance can be. And in the context of the outright "soap-operatic" X-Men, I think the dialog and characterization are just fine, if not great sometimes. For cartoon mutants, sure, they're totally well written.

Turns out I was reading Book 1, not Volume 1, hence 336 pages. I mention this because some criticism of Volume 1 is, I think, nullified by the end of the story arc in Volume 3.

One such criticism was Wolverine's seemingly short lived double agentry for Magneto and the Brotherhood of Mutants. Well it turns out there's total legitimacy to that. And we find out exactly why. (view spoiler) If you ask me, I think his double agentry makes perfect sense within the larger narrative. So while it seems like a misstep in Volume 1, by Volume 3 Millar fully redeems this as a great plot twist.

Andy and Adam Kubert's illustrations are phenomenal, especially for 15 years old. Seriously. This is probably the best X-Men art I've seen so far, (with the exception of Stuart Immonen in Bendis' All New X-Men), and the best I've seen from the Kuberts in a Marvel comic.

I have little criticism other than the product placement and the kidnapping of the President's daughter. For real, there's more product placement here than televised professional football. Coke. Weber. McDonald's. Fubu. Just bizarre. But coming off the 90s I totally get it, it was a generation of corporate love. And Marvel probably got bonus points for all the advertising. Then the latter was just a trope written out of convenience, probably. Oh no! The President's daughter! Whatever shall we do!

Overall, this kicked ass. It was a tight, fun, sometimes Millar-intense comic. There was great allegory for humanism and moral dilemma. Solid dialog. And excellent artwork. I think the Ultimate Universe may be where "it" is at. ...more

Wow, I'm so disappointed with this.

I thought I'd try out the Ultimate universe X-men as well. And while I always appreciate a good modern updating, this was not what I was hoping for.

Brief History:

When I first heard about Marvel making a separate X-Men series entitled “Ultimate X-Men,” I was a little hesitate in reading it at first because it was going to be a totally different version of the classic X-Men series that I grew up with. But when I read this small collection of “Ultimate X-Men” stories written by Mark Millar along with artwork by Adam Kubert, I was actually blown away by how interesting and exciting this collection really is!

Ultimate X-Men #1-12 and #1/2. Mark Millar's Ultimate X-men book tied to the grittier and more realism based Ultimates franchise. Same ol' story but with Colossus, Logan and Storm in the original team with Scott, Jean, Hank and Bobby. There's are great renditions of Magneto, Weapon X and the Brotherhood.. not so much with the Hellfire Club or the Phoenix Force. A top drawer open salvo by Millar and co. 8/12

Millar has a knack for creating rich characters and engaging dialog, with just enough humor to keep it fun. After meeting Mark at Wizard World Chicago 2007, I can say that his writing is most definitely a mirror of his personality.

If you've ever wondered where to start with X-Men, but were concerned you'd encounter flat, stereotypical hero archetypes, this is the book for you. Millar will suprise you. And the art is simply amazing, to boot. ...more

When I posted my review for Ultimate Spider-Man: Ultimate Collection vol. 1 on Facebook, my friend Andy (who is much more well read in comics than I am) used it as a platform to launch into a diatribe on his dislike for Mark Millar's Ultimate X-Men.

I had made mention in my Ultimate Spider-Man review that there was good Bendis and bad Bendis, and while taking a shot at Millar, Andy lauded the good Bendis: "This was Bendis I liked. Taking his time in setting up a new universe where superheroes are not a thing yet. Only to have the auspicious start torpedoed by the time Ultimate X-Men debuted because Millar is the opposite of subtle and he introduced mutants by having them already fighting giant purple death robots on page 1." This got me thinking as I began reading Ultimate X-Men: Ultimate Collection, Book 1 whether Bendis and Millar's approaches to both books were mutually exclusive.

As I began reading this collection, there were other things that bothered me more than Andy's complaint about Millar's "unsubtle" approach. What Andy says is valid, I guess, but the impact is lessened if one decides they really don't care about continuity. I tend to view continuity as an impediment to good story telling, so even though I valued Andy's opinion going into Ultimate X-Men, I wasn't going to let it be the only thing to inform my opinion about this book. I had been familiar with Millar's work from previous reads of books like JLA and The Flash but every time, he was always collaborating with more established writers like fellow Scotsman Grant Morrison (who is one of my favorites) and Mark Waid. Ultimate X-Men is one of my first forays into a series where Millar's work stands front and center. Could Millar and Bendis have collaborated in a way that both Spider-Man and X-Men could exist in a universe where Sentinels run around trying to kill mutants? Probably. But the fact of the matter is that things like racism and things like the Holocaust and the Rwandan genocide are not subtle, so we should not expect the Sentinels or the ideology that created them to be either. Sure, their existence could inform Bendis' take on Spider-Man, but teenagers like Peter Parker tend to be more concerned with their little ponds than the oceans, something that seems obvious in Ultimate Spider-Man. I'm willing to give both Bendis and Millar a pass here--they both appear to have been hired to work on the "Ultimate" universe because they were both up and coming writers at the time and the "Ultimate" line was essentially an experiment from Marvel editorial at the time--would books for established heroes sell if their continuity were restarted? The answer ended up being "yes" but at the time no one could have known that.

Actually my problem with this book have to do with some major plot holes that Millar seems stymied by, especially with Wolverine, who plays a major role in both of the arcs presented in this collection. In the first arc, Wolverine has the ability to do something that he had never previously been to do. It isn't explained apart from having something to do with the Weapon X program, and it just seems like a convenient thing to avoid the obvious flaw in a particular plan executed by Magneto, who is allied with Wolverine at the beginning of the book. Unfortunately, it's glaring and kind of comes off as lazy story-telling. In the second arc, after dealing with the denouement of the previous arc, Wolverine immediately sets off to engage the Weapon X program and it's leader, Wraith. These characters had shown up in the first arc where they attempt to ambush Wolverine at an airport, but the fact that Millar made the narrative decision to address some of Wolverine's origins immediately after the set up arc for the series seems poor and rushed. I think it would have made more sense to establish Wolverine with the X-Men a little more before immediately going into the Weapon X stuff.

It isn't that I hated Ultimate X-Men--but like with Spider-Man, you take a chance when trying to recast a series that produced such brilliant story arcs as "Dark Phoenix". There are some things to love here--the Wolverine/Jean Grey/Cyclops love triangle is more interesting here than when Claremont and Byrne hinted at it during their Uncanny X-Men run, but by that same token Jean is a much more interesting character here--I think when Lee conceived of her she was just there to be an object of Cyclops affection and it was only later, when Claremont and Byrne made her almost god-like that she stopped being a cookie cutter character, but even in the "established" Marvel universe, Jean's existence in the X-Men was to drive the actions of male characters. While Cyclops does fulfill the "leader" role in Ultimate X-Men, it often feels like he is only in charge in the field and that Jean is actually the true leader of the team. On that account, I'm really interested to see where Millar is headed with this.

I guess it is easier to read these books in hindsight, after we have seen how they have influenced countless movies and effectively the first step in creating something like the MCU. Andy told me that these books seem to make these heroes "movie-ready" and I find that hard to disagree with. ...more

I really enjoyed this take on the beginning of the X-men and the story of Weapon X. I admit that I haven't read many graphic novels or comic books on either topic, but from what I have learned from the tv series and the movies, this was darker and grittier. I only wish that marvel had the rights to the X-men as there were many hints to other franchises in this (S.H.I.E.L.D. , Captain America, Spider Man and probably more). Reading this has definitely awakened a thirst in me to read more. ...more

Eh. I'll let this review be a stand-in for all of Mark Millar's run on the "ultimate x-men" title, which he launched as the sister title to Bendis' (far superior) "Ultimate Spider-Man" title. Millar is known for his bombastic, offensive, and utterly moronic attempt to tell 'mature' (i.e. sex (PG13) and violence (Pg13)) superhero stories to appeal to teenage audiences.

L Eh. I'll let this review be a stand-in for all of Mark Millar's run on the "ultimate x-men" title, which he launched as the sister title to Bendis' (far superior) "Ultimate Spider-Man" title.

His ouvre is defined by this kind of shit. I sound negative, and for the most part I do dislike his work, but some of it I love.

Like this.

There was a period of time where he truly defined the Marvel Universe, and it lasted from about 2002 to 2006 (UXM #1, Ultimates, and Civil War). This was after he had jumped onto The Authority at Wildstorm, a superhero book that first took the 'government sanctioned real-world peacekeepers' angle that was definitive in the early-to-mid 2000's. He wrote some other shit here and there - a Spidey run, a Wolverine run, Ultimate FF -as well as his indie work, but really those three titles helped showcase the adaptability of many Marvel properties into filmic language and influenced the initial direction of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

For better or worse, his storytelling instincts are forever imprinted on DNA of a decade of superhero storytelling.

"Ultimate X-Men" came about as a way of simplifying the X-Men saga after a decade of increasing convolution during the 1990's. Really, 1990's X-Men is maybe that series' apex in more ways than one. It features some of the most famous stories and the broadest cast of characters, as well as some of its most recognizable visual motifs. It's also essentially unreadable. Look, I know the series was better during the 70's and 80's, but the 90's is what the modern comics are always chasing nowadays.

So UXM starts with Millar distilling the team back to some of the core characters, mostly those seen in Singer's 2000 blockbuster + Beast, Iceman, and Colossus. Millar's version of Xavier is so much more two-faced and abominable, and his Magneto is an outright cult leader. I can go without his Xavier, but I adore his take on Magneto. Magneto is a villain who was turned antihero, like, 40 years ago at this point. Even his greatest act of villainy (at the end of Morrison's New X-men) has since been retconned to maintain the utility of ole' Mags in other X-Men stories, and he's now one of the stars of the mainline franchise.

Millar has 6 major stories. The first two are the best (one of which plays with the Weapon X stuff for Wolverine, as all X-Men stories must constantly do I guess). The 3rd is good, but features weird art shifts between Kubert & Bachalo - whom I love individually, but sort of don't think work well trading off. The 4th is shitty bullshit that doesn't go anywhere and engaged with the Phoenix stuff that no UXM writers are ever able to really figure out for the remaining 2/3rds of the series. The 5th is a crossover with The Ultimates that doesn't really go anywhere. The 6th is a "return of Magneto" story that just...sucks. Anticlimax after anticlimax.

So I love the first two arcs and will always revisit them fondly, even though Millar's primary mode is "write everyone like a asshole." The rest, eh.
