Ultimate X-Men #97 coverUltimate X-Men #97
‘Absolute Power, Part 4’
Writer: Aron E. Coleite
Penciler: Mark Brooks; Jaime Mendoza

Now this is an outstanding finale.

A startling revelation, a balls-to-the-wall clash between X-Men (the Wolverine-Colossus fight is ‘epic’) and a final sequence that will blow you away (quite literally).

And a very clever, very funny tip of the hat to the unfinished ‘Ultimate Wolverine vs. Hulk’ series.

The best single issue of Ultimate X-Men in a very long time, perhaps ever.

Bravo, Aron Coleite, bravo.

From Marvel (preview): “The battle lines of Ultimatum are drawn! Who is the true power behind Banshee? What is their connection to Wolverine and the X-Men? The answers will make the X-Men reconsider everything they’ve ever believed in! How can one ever be human again after being a god? It’s the shocking finale by Aron E. Coleite (TV’s Heroes) and Mark Brooks!” On sale August 27, 2008.
