Ultimate X-Men is written by
Mark Millar and pencilled by
Adam Kubert who is known for his art in the other
X-Men lines. The Ultimate X-Men comics comes from the newly created
Ultimate Marvel line which includes
Ultimate Spiderman and
Ultimate Marvel Team-Up. This new
X-Men comic takes the storyline of how the
X-Men would have formed in the
20th century, taking a more modern look at the team. It was also created mainly for the movie fans of the
X-Men Movie so they can have a fresh start. The comic's very first page features a deadly
Sentinel targeting young
mutants and killing them. The team already consists of
Scott Summers,
Jean Grey,
Ororo Monroe,
Piotr Rasputin, and
Dr. Hank McCoy. The team is much younger than the original and so they are still learning about their powers and team work. They are later joined by
Logan who is secretly working for
Eric Lensherr to assassinate
Charles Xavier, and they are also joined by
Bobby Drake who is still a teenager. The story so far is fresh and each page is filled with good information, and the
comics are never short of
action. Being a true
X-Men comic too, it also has a serious mood. The
art is also well done and just makes you want to see more of it.
