A bit rushed but still really good! 3.7 🌟

I like this book. I wanted yo give this 4.5 stars if there was a bit more action in the book or it was not as rushed i would have tip it to round it up, but it is still an enjoyable book and has big implications in the Ultimate Universe.
Wolverine is back with the Opposition. However, his time as the Winter Soldier has him feeling guilty and out of place. Now it is time to hit back, but this is only going to escalate the conflict. How will be the last one standing?
Good artwork and story, but very rushed. I am not a fan of the extra text page at the end to move the story along. I would have preferred to books to be longer and these were covered in the main story. The book finishes with variant cover gallery.

"Rrr... saved by the Republic's shoddy workmanship... ain't that the way..."
- Logan, to himself, after being saved from a fall by loose cable at a construction site.
Usually, the 616 Wolverine drops some sick one-liners or awesome quotes. But, this is Ultimate Wolverine. And, not only was he experimented on but, he was brain-washed into a Winter Soldier and used to kill his friends. Which he did. Very well. But some of his friends found a way to break the reprogramming, and now he's back in the Opposition.
So, now we have a mentally broken killing machine welcomed back by the few friends he didn't manage to kill and, as one might imagine, he's got some issues.
My favorite part of this title is Sabertooth as a good guy. Logan and Victor's relationship has gone under the microscope so many times, but rarely gets old.
The first book was good, but this one's even better. A non-stop freight train of skull-dragging. Very good stuff. Four stars.

Volume 2 improves over Volume 1. I'm not the biggest fan of the art, but I'm enjoying the story.
Review of advance copy
This felt rushed and not that good but the art was kinda cool. I like how it shows Logan joining the resistance and fighting back but feels like it was just 6 issues and the writer had to compress it and couldnt get a lot of story and focus done like exporing members of the resistance and Logans equation with them specially Kitty so when they die the impact doesn't happen but the relation with Sabretooth is fun and like a cool twist with them being friends here.
The issue vs Archangel was good but felt like compressed and so the impact is not there and specially the fight vs Omega Red should have been big like he is one of the main boss and its just few pages but then again I guess they had to get it over in 6 issues and like I was hoping they would explore Logans reaction to killing his friend Kurt but they didnt do it..
But the end becomes emotional with what happens to the resistance and Logan out for revenge vs his captors and it ends the way you expect it to.. the ending is also like that and the next volume will probably tie into the Endgame event which I am.. ehh.. nvm this volume was not good compared to what it could have been given the artist it had and the freedom the writer had to choose whichever X-Men/mutant he wanted but oh well.

Ultimate Wolverine moves into the same kind of breakneck pace as Ultimate Spider-Man and Ultimates, with Endgame on the horizon. That means there's a lot going on very quickly, and not a lot of time to deal with the vast amount of characters Logan's suddenly involved with, which is a shame.
What we do get though, is fun. I'd have liked to be able to slow down and take a breather, but that's not the point of this book, and definitely not the energy that the Ultimate Universe has - with the Maker's clock counting down every month, everything is important and everything is fast. There are at least two moments that made me go :O at how unexpected they were, but they make sense in context, even if they're kinda final in their execution.
Given how this volume ends, I thought that could have been the end of the series - but with one arc left, running parallel with Endgame, I'm curious to see what the third stage of this book looks like. There's a big shift between the first and second volumes, and with the events that lead up to the final issue here, the final volume's gonna be something else entirely too.

This series takes any goodwill or any form of interesting storytelling the first volume may have set up and just throws it all away.
This is probably a pretty good comic for people who don’t read a lot of Marvel and don’t really have high expectations for these Ultimate books, but I’ve read a lot of Marvel and I had if not expectations then at least a standard of quality and ambition that the other books set up. This is just a mediocre Wolverine comic that feels free to be even more annoyingly insistent on tragedy and misery than they usually are because the writer’s been given a lot of leeway with these characters in this alternate universe.
There’s so many decisions, especially in the last two issues, that just induce bewilderment and frustration in me. THAT’S what you’re doing? That was your plan for these characters, for this story? This what you’re setting up for the final arc?
This comic doesn’t work on a self-contained level and I can’t see how it’s going to tie in to the bigger picture at all in a meaningful or interesting way at this point.
At least the art is good.

Alas the Marvel editorial caught up to this one and wanted the creative team to “water it down” for the masses. What started as a mystery thriller became a regular comic book with Wolverine explaining his feelings in case the decompression-hating-80-IQ-regular-comic-book-readers can understand wtf they’re looking at. This one stung because of what is clearly a betrayal of the original intent set in the first 6 issues. That said did have its moments which is why it’s get 3 stars instead of 1. Despite the comic book-y monologues and exposition dialogue, the pivotal action sequences were excellent and Alessandro Capuccio’s killed it despite the severely inferior script. Not every comic had to be a 20 min long read ffs let the medium do something different for a change

Ni fu ni fa. Peor que el primer volumen, que tampoco era para tirar cohetes. Parece como si a los autores les hubieran obligado a pisar el acelerador antes de que tuvieran todo preparado, y así, por ejemplo, se despachan a Rojo Omega fuera de cámara, que tiene narices, y el reparto prácticamente al completo es masacrado en un par de páginas, sin muchas ceremonias, y sin tampoco explicar cómo los malos pueden hacer una bomba con el cerebro de Fénix sin cargarse a Fénix... en fin, para lectores poco exigentes, o para los que ya no esperamos mucho de Marvel, que creo que somos mayoría, aunque la línea Ultimate sí que se merece algo mejor que esta irregular saga. ¿El dibujo? Pues aplíquese lo mismo que para el guion...

The second half of the Ultimate universe Wolverine really keeps up with the ‘no one is safe’ aspect of this new take on an ultimate universe. So much death and carnage comes at you thick and fast that it often packs quite a punch. The world in which the X-Men operate is unrelentingly grim but the Winter Soldier aka Wolverine does remain ever ready to roll with it. The cameos and reintroductions to established characters are fun and the art, bar one issue, is good throughout.

Loving this underground, minimalist take on Wolverine. He's more physiologically messed up than 616 but he monologues a lot less. Alessandro Cappucchio's art is an MVP here, giving this series that scrappy, rebellious vibe. Alex Lins fills in for an issue and it's not bad per se, it just doesn't have the same atmosphere. I'm not sad that most of the X-Men aren't the stars here, there's 17+ ongoings out there for that. I just want to read about Ult-Wolvey getting some revenge.
Review of advance copy
they kinda lost me with this one, the first volume i felt was amazing but this one was rushed and lost a lot of what made the first volume special. this book would have easily benefited from being apart of the initial line of books because it fall under the weight of the time constraints these books have been given for endgame.

Ultimate wolverine is a weird story.
This volume is definitely better than the first one but it is bad in a different, subtler way. Cool an interesting things happen but the script and the art conspire to make them feel a lot less cool than I feel like they could have been.

The first volume was at least interesting, with the way it re-shuffled characters and alliances. This is just a mess, burning everything down. And for what? This is not a good story. And the artwork is just a mess--it should be loads better for what is a flagship title. Or maybe this isn't? Blah...

Fuck the Maker, this really is the most evil timeline.

This was OK. It's super compressed. Wolverine is now part of the Opposition fighting the Rasputins. It all goes how you expect with no surprises. The most I can say about it is "Meh".

Such a beautifully written arc. The artwork is on another level, honestly.

Good, solid Wolverine stories. But not as good as the first volume.
And the payoff of the main conflict this has been building up to was fine. But only just fine.

I’m actually a bit behind on this but I’ve been keeping up fairly well. This has been an interesting take on everything, a story to itself even if I didn’t follow the Ultimate run itself.

I enjoyed this one more than the first volume, as there's much more of a plot that moves forward faster. It's still probably my least favorite of the Ultimate books given how bleak it is.
