Product Description:
The Ultimate Inhumans debut, two lives are forever changed, you'll never guess who's back and everyone guest-stars in the first-ever Ultimate Annuals! In Ultimate Fantastic Four Annual #1, it's the first appearance of the Ultimate Inhumans! From a hidden race, she came to steal the heart of the FF's youngest member: the beautiful elemental called Crystal! In Ultimate X-Men Annual #1, it's the return of Ultimate Juggernaut! Juggie makes a play for the Gem of Cyttorak, the jewel that will make him truly unstoppable. Only two small things stand in his way: Rogue and Gambit, the new prince and princess of thieves! In Ultimate Spider-Man Annual #1, Spidey goes toe-to-toe with some old foes - and winds up with a new girlfriend! Who is she? Let's just say she has a familiar face. And in The Ultimates Annual #1, if you thought The Ultimates were the only team S.H.I.E.L.D. was creating - you were wrong! Get ready for the next wave of super-soldiers designed to protect America's vital interests. But is this all that Director Nick Fury is up to, or is there much more to this ultra-clandestine program? And can even S.H.I.E.L.D. keep all these super-people under control? Collects Ultimates Annual #1; Ultimate Fantastic Four Annual #1; Ultimate X-Men Annual #1; Ultimate Spider-Man Annual #1.

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - More than solid collection of Ultimate universe tales
Ultimate Annuals contains just what the title implies: annual issues of the various Ultimate universe titles. Ultimate Fantastic Four features the debut of the Ultimate Inhumans, and while the overall story isn't anything special, the superb art by Jae Lee makes it worth checking out for alone. In Ultimate X-Men, Juggernaut makes a play for a fabled gem (otherwise known in the regular Marvel universe as what actually gives him his powers), and ends up taking on both Gambit and Rogue. An otherwise ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Great collection
Even though most of the Annual issues collected in the Ultimate Annuals trade paperbacks will likely appear in the trades/hardcovers of their respective titles, I still think collecting them in one book is a neat idea, especially for those who don't read the entire Ultimate Marvel line. Here's what you get in volume 1:

Ultimate Fantastic Four Annual #1 - The introduction of the Ultimate Inhumans! Fans of the Paul Jenkins/Jae Lee Inhumans limited series will no doubt rejoice to see Lee rendering ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Ultimate Annuals = Worth the Time and Money
There used to be a time, not so long ago, when comics released annuals once per year (hence the name "annual"). The pagecounts were bigger, the prices higher, and the stories often felt like they were outside of the continuity of the regular series that they were released with. Along with all of that, fans were usually treated to a fill-in artist and writer...ugh.

Thankfully, that's not the case with the first round of Ultimate annuals. Each of these stories, although standing on their own, are ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - 4 Stand Alone Stories That Are Entertaining
Since I'm a comic newbie, I don't know what the purpose of a an "Annual" is, and I would be very surprised if these issues weren't included in the trade paperbacks for their respective series (after all, they are very relevant to the plots of the different books).
In the Ultimates Annual, we get a better look at the Reserves team that is in place to serve if any of the main Ultimates fail. The book also serves as a great character study of Gen. Nick Fury. Overall, I'm not sure how much relevance this ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Okay, but not great comicbook fare
This book collects four annual editions of Marvel's popular "Ultimate" series, the Fantastic Four annual, one of the X-Men, Spider-Man and an Ultimates adventure centered around the revamped Nick Fury. Mostly these stories are disappointing, particularly considering the high quality that the "Ultimates" books have maintained thus far. These seemed like standard annual-quality fare -- slightly longer stories that mostly stand separate from the regular series, and seems a little disconnected. The FF story has ... Read More
