Awesome! 😁 If you are looking for a fresh, high-octane take on classic heroes, Ultimate X-Men, Vol. 1: The Tomorrow People by Mark Millar is an absolute must-read. This graphic novel reimagines the iconic mutant team with a gritty, modern edge that feels both nostalgic and completely new. Millar’s writing keeps the pace fast and the stakes incredibly high, making it a perfect entry point for newcomers or a thrilling revisit for long-time fans. Whether you're a comic book collector or just searc...

This was pretty cool!We follow Wolverine on his mission to take down Xavier, but then things turn, and seeing how this specific incarnation of the X-Men comes together is truly interesting. From the whole Sentinel conflict to the classic Professor X mission and the epic showdown with Magneto and his Brotherhood, it’s a packed ride—plus, there’s a great twist with Cyclops that really grabbed my attention.Ultimate X-Men, Vol. 1: The Tomorrow People is a solid volume and a fantastic jumping-on poin...

I grew up reading Ultimate X-Men, Vol. 1: The Tomorrow People. I think it was my entry point into the X-Men universe and the first major run where I actually owned every single volume. I eventually stopped reading around volume 18, so I decided to dive back in for a re-read more than 10 years later. Well... let’s just say this hasn’t aged all that well, haha.There are definitely things to love here. The art by Mark Millar and his team is solid throughout. I also really enjoyed the personality sh...

Ultimate X-Men, Vol. 1: The Tomorrow People is a fantastic re-packaging of the classic X-Men stories we know and love, but with some clever modern twists. I really enjoy how Mark Millar writes Magneto, keeping him two steps ahead of everyone—even Professor Xavier!The artwork is incredibly sharp, and the colorist deserves an award for the night scenes; they truly capture how the human eye works, focusing on those scant areas of light to hint at what is lurking in the darkness. Seriously, well don...

Honestly, it’s little more than serviceable. Considering the goal was to reimagine these iconic characters for a modern audience, Ultimate X-Men, Vol. 1: The Tomorrow People by Mark Millar feels disappointingly similar to the main Marvel Universe version. There are very few meaningful adjustments, and what little is there doesn't really amount to much. That said, I’ll stick with it for at least a few more volumes; I'm holding out hope that there might be something truly great hidden further down...

At first, I was completely hooked on this collection. The characters, the setting, the villains, and the whole mutant struggle had such a modern, grounded feel that I couldn't put it down. Plus, the artwork was top-tier. But then, something shifted: I just lost interest.
Why, you ask?
I’m honestly not sure. For whatever reason, it felt like I was just reading the same X-Men stories I’ve been following since I was ten, only repackaged to look new, shiny, and updated. There were a few minor twea...

Mark Millar reboots the X-Men for the Ultimates Universe with this new iteration of the popular franchise in Ultimate X-Men, Vol. 1: The Tomorrow People, and unlike recent reboots like Grant Morrison's 'New X-Men' or Jason Aaron's more recent work, Millar's version is by far the weakest and least original.He turns the X-Men into teenagers, so we’re forced to watch Cyclops, Storm, and Jean Grey learning the ropes and throwing tantrums. Scott Summers is particularly grating, especially when he cat...

Ultimate X-Men, Vol. 1: The Tomorrow People represents Mark Millar’s vision of a franchise distilled from the very best of its rich history. The launch of the Ultimate line of Marvel Comics gave the author a unique opportunity to tell stories completely unencumbered by nearly four decades of dense continuity. The result is a product that remains instantly recognizable thanks to the iconic nature of the characters. This approach ensured that older fans weren't alienated, while the tone was famili...

What is the point of this? This world and these characters are essentially identical to the originals. There is zero effort by Mark Millar to make the Ultimate universe feel unique, and then he drags back that tired love triangle all over again—easily the lamest part of the X-Men mythos—and somehow manages to make it even worse. Even the art is subpar, and the costume design is just awful. I remember dropping Marvel comics when these overpriced books first started hitting the shelves, and lookin...
