Ultimate Power #9: The Conclusion

Seriously, though. This one is worth it. Thing vs Hulk is classic Marvel, and it almost looks like Land had that in mind when he drew this page, something about the Hulk's face and the restraint Land shows by not adding too much detail.

Page 17/18

2 pages - 4 panels. I do like this layout though. The long panels at the bottom make great use of the depth of field, like a great wide close-up in a movie with the deep background in focus too.

Splash page! Super-heros always grab for some ass when they kiss. They can't help it. The fighting gets them all a-tingle.

End.
Nice ending. Quick and too the point. Stark is a jackass and the Things is the sad, gentle giant, and it's Reed's guilt that got us into this series in the first place.

So, did it live up to my needs? Actually, it just about did. It was a bit too much of a "hurry, let's explain it all and wrap everything up in three pages" kind of ending for my tastes, but the art was great (if you like this kinda thing) and it had some fun moments.

I do kind of want to read it over again to see if I can discern the point of it, though. Was it just a slug-fest? Or what? And is Zarda in Ultimates 3?
