4.0

Returning to comics that got me into comics, Ultimate X-Men volume 2 is actually better than the first volume.

This volume is mainly a division of Shield who hates mutants decides to kidnap the X-Men. They already have some weapon X such as Sabertooth, rogue, and nightcrawler. But they want wolverine back and his new group of friends. So what do they do? They go into the mansion and take what they want.

This is pretty entertaining. I really liked the fact the X-Men are really inexperienced here and lose rather quickly to the military group. Then becoming basically weapons for them is a interesting take and lets some characters grow. Sure the dialogue is still honky at times thanks to Edgy Millar, but he makes the pacing move quick and the fun happens.

Not amazing but entertaining. A 3.5 out of 5.
