HE's obviously very different here in the Ultimate Universe. I'd also forgotten about Psylocke as she was so quickly killed after her first appearance. This is still a great volume.

The Professor finally waivers at least a little bit about what he's doing. The first shred of humanity. The Beast and Storm romance is so sad.

I hate that Beast is willing to throw the relationship away because he can't be sure that Charles hasn't messed with Storm's head. There are some early hints at Colossus' later revelation in this story. I don't remember when I started picking up on it the first time, but it might've been here.

This volume didn't pull me in as much as the first volume, I find Storm a bit annoying with her shallow girly-girl-ness, glad to see Gambit, but the story seemed weak and over done, though I did enjoy the focus on Charles and I always love the Proteus storyline, because I love Proteus, but as I recently read the original Proteus storyline, I thought that was was more devastating for some reason-especially how it affected Wolverine.

Still enjoyable, but the whole line paled a little bit next to the X-Factor I've been reading lately. It is fun to see Colossus portrayed as gay, though well, he's not out yet, but, it's there.

Jun 29, Kimberly rated it it was amazing Shelves: I am really enjoying this series. Plus we get an intro for one of my favorite X-Men, Gambit: It's funny to see storylines in this series that sort of line up with the movies. Only they are way cooler in the comic. I'm excited to see who else we will get introduced to in the next comics. Well the story was pretty interesting. But I wasn't too wild about how the art randomly changed half way through. It got really cartoony and just wasn't as good as Kuberts art.

Thankfully, outside of introducing Betsy "Psylocke" Braddock to the storyline, Millar keeps the X-Men roster the same to allow for better character development. Adam Kubert's pencil work really hits its stride between issues 15 and 17 with some really awesome art: Three stars for an engaging storyline that improves on the previous volumes, but the art takes a hit halfway through and a less attractive Gambit I've never seen.

Jun 18, Jim rated it liked it Shelves: There was something a little sappy about this volume, and a little troubling about how the female characters are portrayed in their love interests, as well as niggling weaknesses among several of the characters, including Charles, that made it less than satisfying.

Still, I enjoy the characters and the art. With this volume, Mark Millar and the art team riff on a classic X-Men story. The end result is a pretty solid story which puts Professor Xavier under the microscope, exposing the deep, deep flaws of his character and tackling them head on. Miller's cynicism and pop culture references can be a bit much at points, but on the whole this is pretty affecting work. Aug 14, Charles rated it liked it Shelves: Stuff I Read — Ultimate X-Men So here, I guess, is where the series finally attempts to confront the failings of the Professor, here in the form of his son, the Ultimate version of Proteus.

Proteus basically is messed up because Professor X abandoned him and his mom, and went off to form his own mutant family, trying his best to forget about his former, human family entirely. And so Proteus tries his best to show the Professor the error of his ways, and does this by killing a lot of humans Stuff I Read — Ultimate X-Men So here, I guess, is where the series finally attempts to confront the failings of the Professor, here in the form of his son, the Ultimate version of Proteus.

Meanwhile Colossus has a crisis of faith and returns to Russia before returning. Oh, and at the end there is a Gambit story thrown in for good measure. I must say, I started to hope that with Proteus and the Professor finally being shown as a deeply flawed individual, to the point where he comes across as extremely arrogant and heartless. He freely admits this, as he relates how his family was a burden to his mighty mutantness and how he loved his son like a pet, but nothing more.

And really, that seems to be the way he sees others, as so far beneath him that he cannot really feel anything for them beyond condescension. On top of that, we are shown that Colossus leaves because he does not feel right about what Xavier is doing. Here the art jumps around a lot more than in the first two arcs, and as such it took away a bit from my enjoyment of these issues, because I want consistency within arcs and here it was a bit all over.

Beyond that, though, I am further stuck at what I am supposed to take away from the story. Colossus leaves, but returns because, apparently, he recognizes that being a superhero means that he cannot be a normal person. And he does do it, so I guess it proves that he is better? This continues to be my main problem with the series, because it has us identify with mutants, who used to be analogies for minorities, for African Americans or gays or whatever minority was around at the time.

And so the mission statement for the original X-Men was to strive for equality and compassion and understanding. Instead they are trying to lead humanity and mutantkind into some sort of future that is better than the one controlled solely by humanity. They do not want to integrate into human society, but to integrate humans into a post-human world. That is what they call it, post-human.

They are, in effect, the kinds of villains that the original X-Men fought. Where Professor X used to be about peaceful cooperation and shared progress, the new Professor X is about peaceful dominance and mutants taking their rightful place of directions of the world. And at the end, once Proteus has been defeated, Professor X has a bit of a crisis of confidence and wants to shut down the school and let things play out as they might. He see, or at least claims to see, that he has been arrogant. He still knows he is right but needs to appear to be humble to keep his own illusion of his dream intact.

Because what changes his mind and gets him to step back into his role and leader of everything? The mind wiped Magneto bought tickets to his lecture. Which, again, says some pretty disturbing things about what this title is saying about the present day.

Is this what people believe is right and heroic now? Is this dystopian, mutant run future really the best we can do? Personally, I want to think there are more choices than that, and am waiting for a new option to be posited by the series. Until then, this installment merits a 6. Nov 02, Natalie rated it it was ok Shelves: I didn't know that Professor X had another son? Is he supposed to be his son? It was interesting to read but confusing at first because I thought he was supposed to be Legion.

Aug 13, Leila Anani rated it really liked it Shelves: Ultimate X-Men seems to be going from strength to strength. This third instalment takes the Proteus story and puts its own modern stamp onto the story making Charles the absentee dad who sets off the mutation in his son. As well as the Proteus story we get a solo Gambit adventure were the smart takling street hustler has to forgo a hot date to save a little girl who's parents have been murdered. This one has a very strong story and excellent artwork.

What I particularly like is the way it blurs t Ultimate X-Men seems to be going from strength to strength. What I particularly like is the way it blurs the lines between good and evil - which is beautifully done with the characters of Charles and Magneto. The X-Men, just as much as the reader question just how good the professor really is - Here he's seen as an absentee dad, bad husband and willing to manipulate people's heads to get what he wants - he's practically lobotomised Magneto! This is a particularly strong volume for Colossus as well as he walks out feeling unappreciated. Huge thumbs up here, I was a bit sceptical about the reinvention of the characters for Ultimate X-Men, but this volume put all my fears to rest.

Mar 30, Edward Cheer rated it really liked it. Today is a historic day for me. It's the day that I read an actually enjoyable Mark Millar comic. This is probably his best comic, though I'm not entirely sure.

Well the story was pretty interesting. That and the little story about Gambit was a nice touch. Professor Xavier talks with Colossus and Magneto about his new book and the mutant war. Nov 09, James rated it liked it Shelves: See Ultimate Hulk and the secret origin of Ultimate Thor!

Yeah, there are plot holes as usual. And some story inconsistencies Like Colossus' almost immediate change of heart.

But for something that delves into the past of Professor X, and makes you question his reliability, to the point where even he questions it, is a remarkable feat. It's much better written than the previous two entries. Th Today is a historic day for me. There's a cringe-worthy line here and there, but it's a definite improvement. That and the little story about Gambit was a nice touch.

It just shows that a good story doesn't have to have "freaking" every two seconds. You need to highlight the characters- make their decisions, the personalities, and their histories matter to the story. Jun 05, Amanda rated it really liked it Shelves: This series has been a really great introduction to the X-Men. I knew next to nothing going into this, so it was really good to get more of an introduction. I have some complaints about the art though. All of the women are wearing clothes, that honestly? I know no one that would wear them, modesty-wise. Feb 20, Matej rated it liked it.
