Ultimate Annuals - Volume 1

Once I got to read it, I got through it in one sitting. This is a compilation of annual issues of four series set in the Ultimates universe of Marvel (where the heroes are recast as teens). The stories felt a bit short, and in the case of the Fantastic Four, it felt like a rushed story: too short and too abrupt. I liked the Ultimates story best; the Spider-Man one was nice and sweet. Overall, I think fans will likely enjoy this collection. But it may leave you wanting more.
