Ultimate Power #9 (2006)

$2.99
VERY FINE/NEAR MINT
Written by JEPH LOEB Pencils & Cover by GREG LAND
The final chapter in this lauded limited series finds the two teams—the Ultimates and the Squadron Supreme poised for the cataclysmic climax that will decide the fate of two worlds! And the ending is more than mortal minds can imagine!

"Here is the perfect distillation of everything people hate/love about Greg Land’s artwork: on the fifth page, there’s a panel where two Arcannas are seen from behind. The ‘Supreme Power’ version wears a long lab coat, but she’s holding it to the side so you can see her butt. Why? So you can see her butt. That’s it! That’s amazing! Who else in comics would be THAT blatant about tossing cheesecake-y artwork in a book? No one! That’s shameless. God bless Greg Land! Oh, and storywise, it’s not much better. The whole issue might as well have Nick Fury saying, ‘Hey, kids! Don’t forget to read Ultimate Origin in 2008!’ And since the Squadron Supreme series will be returning sometime in mid-never, what possible conclusion could there be to this promising-but-disappointing series?"

THIS BOOK GETS 4 GRAHAMS OUT OF 10
