Who needs continuity? Not the new X-men writer who jettisons it all for a lame ass story about a street drug named Banshee which causes mutations. Can’t express how ridiculous this whole arc was. Worst Ultimate X-men story by far.
The stupidity all starts with Alpha Flight showing up to kidnap Northstar, who is now living at the Xavier’s School with Colossus. How that happened since last issue is never explained. Then Jean is somehow back after leaving last issue. How that happened is never explained. The professor has now left to be Moira. How that happened isn’t ever explained. A surprise X-man turns out to be an addict of this mutant meth drug. That is explained but is just so idiotic the writer might as well have not explained it. And even new plots are just left dangling because . . . Who the hell knows why. Guess Coleite didn’t know how to resolve them.
All in all, the worst Ultimate X-men story of the entire run so far. OMG, this one sucked.

Was anything about this comic realistic? Probably not. There’s no way that Banshee has existed as a highly addictive drug for mutants and no one has heard about it. Nor is it realistic that everyone was so quick to take a stand on it without knowing the full scope of its affects. However, I appreciated the creativity that was present in this volume. It wasn’t perfect but readers see something that is not necessarily present in 616. I was also a HUGE fan of the character commentary that we got on Scott. He was so against the drug at first but ends up in a pretty precarious situation that shows a completely different side to him. There’s some interesting tidbits related to his family that play a big role in how is personality transforms while on the drug. Overall, it was a solid read with good artwork. It’s not the best comic and failed in some regard to execution but it did bring something different to the table.

Terrible. I don't buy that Colossus has been a drug addict all along, I don't buy that this drug has existed for probably close to a decade but nobody's heard of it, I don't buy that Xavier helped develop it, apparently for the lulz, I don't buy Moira peddling it, and I'm kind of pissed that 25-50% of the LGBT population of the Ultimate universe gets permanently sidelined in this story for cheap angst. By far the worst volume of Ultimate X-Men yet.

Horrible. For some reason, they turned this comic over to a writer from the TV show Heroes, and he promptly made this comic as terrible as that show.

The only reason this isn't getting 1 star is because I enjoyed the art. This volume made me so mad . What a terrible way to finish Ultimate X-Men. I know I'm probably in the minority but I really enjoyed Ultimate X-Men as a whole but this volume SUCKED.
There was no need for such a silly retcon. Also why is so much happening off page with no explanation. People disappearing or dying then magically reappearing in no time. Makes no sense . The sad thing is it only gets worse after this 😭

They really had to character assassinate the only queer X-Man didn’t they. Didn’t think there’d be a worse part of the Ultimate Universe than Ultimatum but here we are.

Collective review for the entire Ultimate X-Men Series.
Rating: 3/5
X-Men has always been a series with great potential, because of the issues it brings up and because of the size of its audience. The movies, thematically, lost that edge to push against societal exclusion, and the original comics had years of backstory to catch up with, which meant that they weren't getting any new fans. Enter Ultimate X-Men, a fresh reboot of the jaded originals, with amazing visuals, and a great voice in Mark Millar. On to the story.
In the near future, humanity observes the birth of mutants, with a special type of mutant gene, known as the X-gene, which causes them to develop superhuman abilities. They are, in every other way, ordinary humans, with lives and families. Some of them believe that the X-gene makes them the next stage in evolution, and coin a new phrase for themselves, calling themselves Homo superior. Humanity's reaction to the threat of a superior species is predictable, and the mutants, even the ones without an agenda, are now hunted on the basis of genetic profiling. At a basic level, they are ostracized in society, and looked at with distaste, much like minority communities in many parts of the world today. Mutants are herded into camps, used as weapons, and treated as sub-human.
This is where our story begins, with two different revolutionaries on opposite sides of the battle. Charles Xavier, a telepath, and Erik Lensherr, with the ability to manipulate magnetic fields, have been the best of friends since the Cold War, and now, with mutants being hunted in the streets, they both decide to take steps to prevent the extermination of mutants. Erik Lensherr aka Magneto, starts to recruit a mutant army, believing that an all-out war with humanity is at hand. Charles Xavier founds a school for mutants, to help them control their powers, to teach them discipline, to help them integrate into society, and eventually, to help them live their own lives in harmony.
The X-Men are the select battle squad that Charles Xavier has trained and raised to assist him in recruiting new students and preventing mutants from harming humans. The Ultimate X-Men follows the stories of those students and their struggle with fighting hatred, racism and rejection by the people of the world.
This is exactly where the series loses its edge in the movies. This is where it had a chance to start afresh and achieve something huge with the new comic series. And this is where they failed, again.
The first few volumes, with recruiting the X-Men First Class were interesting and engaging, and the following volumes about their public acknowledgement and acceptance were quite good too. Somewhere between Volume 14-15, they lost their way and it started to read more and more like a family drama, that would not have been out of place next to an 80s Indian soap opera. It was the idea of dragging a story to the point where they were inventing conflict to suit their needs, just to keep the story going, and then it just got really ugly. Mark Millar and Brian K Vaughn, the two strong voices giving the series some direction, left the series, and it just seemed to spiral out.
To keep a good comic series going, the writers must not be afraid of taking risks, and this is where Ultimate X-Men failed. To be fair, its perfectly readable, but that's all it is.
The series has so much potential, and such a diverse cast of characters, but unfortunately it was wasted, whether in fan-service or in bad writing, but it just goes to show why comic series aren't accepted as mainstream canon by most readers.
Re-readability Score: 1.5/5

Stuff I Read – Ultimate X-Men 95-98
Well Kirkman has left, and with him has also flown pretty much everything that made his X-Men more interesting than most previous iterations of the team. First and mainly, the characters are changed immediately. Psylocke, Pyro, and Toad are basically all gone and Nightcrawler and Colossus are back despite it not really being in keeping with their characters. It’s like this writer tries in this one issue to undo everything that Kirkman managed to achieve in his rather long tenure. Professor X, giving up on that whole making the world a better place thing from just an issue previous, is off somewhere and doesn’t really seem to care much as the school is attacked by the Ultimate Alpha Flight. Throw on top of that the further craziness of the story itself, which centers around a mutant drug called Boost, an idea lifted from the Morrison era of New X-Men. That means it has to be good, right? Wrong. Where Kirkman set things up for the long haul, this story seems to be just a chaotic mess of ideas and scenes that don’t so much work together as they do vomit noisily all over the pages.
I mean, the central idea seems to be that Colossus has, ever since he was recruited, abused this drug that has only shown up in the very recent past. Apparently Russia is ahead of the curve and Colossus managed to smuggle a couple of years worth of the stuff into the U.S. That is the pill that the writer is asking us to swallow. Wait, it’s a suppository? Oh, well, that makes more sense. It is completely ridiculous even as far as retcons go. Some try to explain some inconsistency, but this story puts that inconsistency into the story. Let’s forget that Colossus has never shown the signs of drug abuse, or that he has been around easily the most powerful four or five telepaths in the world. No, it’s just convenient to whatever it is that passes for a story in this arc. And so all hopped up on Boost, Colossus, Rogue, Dazzler, Angel, Nightcrawler, and Cyclops all head off to stomp on Alpha Flight while the rest of the X-Men try to stop all sides. Even Jean Grey is there. Yes, after she went completely Phoenix and disappeared into deep space, she is just back without any explanation.
And really that is about it. Along the way Norhtstar is crippled and Moira turns out to be behind the evil. Oh, and Professor X helped create the drug and knew Wolverine back then too. This arc just sort of aborts itself along until the inevitable end where everyone is clean again and they can move on without consequence. The only real interesting story element is with Cyclops, and we see the differences here between the core universe character and this one. We see what might happen to him if he hadn’t had Jean there to prop him up, and what he would do if given the chance to be able to let go without fear. It is the sole interesting part of this story, and is not enough to save it from being far and away the worst arc of the series to date. Which is sad, because the end of the series is right around the bend, and this is not the way to go.
Really it just teaches how now to do something. If something could be said for Millar’s run it would be that Mutants are new and better than humanity. Change is good. Bendis, in his brief time, seemed more to say that humans and mutants were the same, and that thinking that just because you have powers you are better is a bad thing. Vaughan really only said that teenagers like drama. Kirkman, by the end, said that mutants are capable of greater change than humans but they are limiting themselves by not escaping human definitions. As near as I can tell this new arc only tries to combine the very worst from these previous runs. Teenagers like drama but they are also better than humans and can do anything without fear of reprisal. It is just a bad story, and a bad message for an X-Men book. I would have hoped with all the different inspirations to take the Ultimate line wouldn’t be so full of bad X-Men stories. But here we are. At the end of the day I just can’t find much of anything redeemable about this story, and give it a 4/10.

Hodgepodge, filler issues from the Ultimate universe. This arc reveals a previously unknown mutant drug, Banshee, that can amplify powers to godlike levels. A longtime team member is revealed to be an addict, which leads to shock, horror and an X-men schism.
The characters all have very strong feelings about this mutant steroid. Some argue it's dangerous and others claim they need the boost to save lives. It could have been interesting if given more space to develop, but like everything in this arc, the debates about the drug are rushed and incoherent, hurrying forward so we can get to more scenes of people punching people.
Grant Morrison explored similar territory with "Kick" in his New X-men arc, to much better effect. I will say that the art by Mark Brooks is pretty good. He takes the amped-up setting in stride, giving us an actual bird-headed Angel among other treats.

This book is so awful, and so out of synch with every previous volume of Ultimate X-Men that it should be considered non-canon. The writing is embarrasing. The characters are nonsensical. The retcon of Collosus could have made sense in a better writer's hands, but you don't just spring this in one issue and then make it the most important plot point in the title.
Jean Grey just became The Phoenix, and he pushed it to the B-story. Cable and Onslaught just came back from the future to defeat Apocalypse, but let's talk about how Canadians are using drugs supplied by a mutant to ... umm ... to ... y'know I don't think the writer knew what the endgame was either.
This book is awful. Don't read it.

The problem is that none of this makes any sense.
Users of the drug Banshee develop delusions of grandeur and have power that, at times, rivals the Phoenix's. Ultimate Colossus has been using the drug the whole time. Including when they went underground? But he just seems like Colossus.
They have a good backstory for why he wants to use the drug with a couple of fun twists. But it doesn't make any sense in the story.
Also, the drug was developed when Professor X wanted to borrow Wolverine's claws while Wolverine as mindwiped. (???)
I also enjoyed seeing the heroes get vastly overpowered
But the rest is just a mess. Including the conclusion when Phoenix says that Cyclops can have some "me time" and then Phoenix kidnaps Cyclops.

Oh boy. After I found myself surprisingly liking Robert Kirkman's run, this volume comes out of nowhere and punches me in the face and steals my wallet.
The art is nice, most of the times, with some fun designs, but, yeesh, this story is a mess, with no regard for continuity, in this volume or from previous stories.

Dernier arc avant l’évènement Ultimatum et la fin de la série, Absolute Power introduit un nouveau scénariste, Aron Eli Coleite, qui n’est donc pas là pour durer.
Une drogue augmentant les pouvoirs mutants fait rage, et divise les X-Men entre ceux qui dont prêts à en consommer afin de combattre efficacement les menaces, et ceux qui la considèrent néfaste, à raison puisqu’elle trouble le comportement. C’est là que ça ne fait aucun sens, puisqu’on voit bien comment elle rend les X-Men violents et agressifs, mais on nous dit que Colossus en prend depuis avant même le début d’UXM, alors qu’il est sûrement le X-man le plus zen du lot jusqu'à cet arc.
À la fin du précédent volume, Jean avait disparu, mais on préfère la faire revenir avant même que l’histoire commence, plutôt que de ne pas avoir à justifier que le Phoenix galère contre trois quatre X-men drogués.
Le fait qu’on considère le passé de Wolverine comme une feuille blanche sur laquelle n’importe qui peut gribouiller le plot device dont il a envie commence à me faire un peu chier, et selon Ultimates 3 il est impossible que Xavier ait pu affronter un dinosaure en Terre Sauvage il y a 15 ans. Le twist final est un peu wtf et sort de nulle part sans faire trop sens, à la manière des twists d'Ultimates 3.
Les dessins sont bien meilleurs que ceux du volume précédent, avec les crayons de Brooks et Peterson que je connaissais déjà, et Mann que je découvre ici.

Things should have ended with Apocalypse.
This seems like a dumb add-on that follows a group of mutant who take some mutant super drugs attacking the School while Xavier is on some retreat. Jean seems to have returned and is not answering to any questions on where she went or what she did. No explanation on the questions raised at the end of Apocalypse. No decent continuity.
A set of people from the school go in search of the other mutants who have kidnapped Colossus's boyfriend and they all take the mutant drug.
Worst story arc of the entire series.

I really enjoyed this one. The plot was a bit wild and had maybe a few too many abrupt back-and-forth's, but it was still a lot of fun. The exploration of enhanced powers and good guys turning bad and all that stuff made it very enjoyable. The art was consistently good as well, though there appeared to be an artist change partway through, the style overall was consistent enough that it wasn't distracting and still good. Looking forward to seeing how they end all this!

This very special episode of Ultimate X-men is made all the worse for being the final non ultimatum plot and for all of the continuity it straight up ignores in order to work. Imagine if "Beer Bad" was played completely straight and was the final episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer ever. Just dreadful stuff.
November 1, 2017
This is an uneven but ultimately satisfying end to this long running series as Ultimate X-Men seems to strike out on its own with a largely original story line and gives Wolverine a good enough send off that you hope it sticks.

Beberapa X-Men jatuh ke dalam perangkap obat bius. Obat yang bisa melipatgandakan kemampuan mereka. Tapi akibatnya mereka kehilangan jati dirinya. Pertanyaannya, dari manakah obat itu berasal? Siapa yang menyebarkannya?

Some great illustrations and moments, but a huge amount of character and plot inconsistencies with canon. Overdoses the drug stuff too.
