Finally we get to see the much hyped and long awaited Ultimates Vol 3 #1. This isn’t your Dad’s Avengers, and its obvious from the opening scene where you have the Ultimates watching a DVD recording that has been leaked on the Internet (drawing parallels to the Paris Hilton scandal) of Tony Stark and the Black Widow getting there grove on. From there we get to the Ultimates take on Ultimate Venom. This issues has is dense story wise, the incestuous relationship between Quicksilver and the Scarlett Witch, Hawkeye’s reckless behavior, and may favorite thing the appearance of Ultimate Black Panther (who came and went too quickly). If your not a patient person this book may irritate you because it raises more questions than answers. A number of things have happened to the team between Vol 2 and Vol 3.
- The Ultimates are now independent of Shield and funded by Tony Stark
- The Wasp is the leader of team
- The Black Panther and Valkyrie have join team
The art work is excellent its nice to see Joe Madureira live up to the hype (I will admit that the style differences between him and Brian Hitch takes a while to get use too).

I read it, and all the things you talk about are interesting, but it was sort of a let down for me after all the build up.
