Summary: Its nice to see a more realistic Marvel Universe!
Comment: Well this book was good, but Volume 1: The Tomorrow People was better. This book introduces many new and important character's to the Ultimate Marvel Universe, Including Juggernaut, Nightcrawler, Rogue, Sabertooth, and Nick Fury. The story tells of the Weapon X program kidnapping and basically enslaving the X-men and their leader, Professor Charles Xavier. The X-men are forced to do everything that Professor Xavier has tought them is wrong. Using tiny explosive chips planted into each of the X-men's heads, they are forced to do as they are told, or else KABLOOEE! I also like the fact that the whole Cytorak, or whatever its called, crystal was not included. Some of you may not understand, but taking out things like that make the story less confusing and more realistic. The day Marvel start incorporating things like "magic crystals" and such into the Ultimate Universe, is the day I stop reading them. I have come to expect a level of "realism" from these books. Anyway, this book also hints at the future creation of the Ultimates (the Ultimate Universe's version of the Avengers).

Summary: Wolverine rocks..... oh yeah so do the rest of the Xmen
Comment: I subscribed to the ultimate Xmen as soon as it came out.. and here's what I think....
I thought this six part storyline rocked.. The Xmen are better than before and The Weapon X Project is a 100 times more evil and (This is important) credible than it's ever appeared in the 'Wolverine' books.
Originality is the key as while Millar draws on all the heroes and villains from marvels stock, but the story line keeps you on tether hooks till the end. Issue 12 was a finale..
Best line in the book 'First rule in a fight, Always protect your family jewels' and then Logan wises Sabretooth as to this old adage... hehehehh..
But...
A serious problem with the WHOLE Ultimate Xmen series is the static storyline..Too often I felt that there was more to say but i feel Millar was working under constraints.. Not enough space given to flesh out the charachters. This was a major bummer and hopefully something will be done by Millar in the upcoming issues.. ..
The art credits varied from the kubert bros and tom raney.. I found it sometimes too sketchy and imprecise (Interchanging looks between different charachters) and I did not understand at all the raid on the X-mansion.. however I loved the scenes of painted art mostly in the dream sequences. ...

Summary: great followup
Comment: What we have here is a great follow up to vol one of the Ultimate X-Men. We introduce more characters and get this new take on the Weapon X story. Well done story at that. Still gets high marks for art and character.
