Ultimates: Omniversal: Civil War II Review

Finished reading Ultimates: Omniversal: Civil War II, concluding this series of the Ultimates as the team finds themselves facing the events of Civil War II. The book opens up with Captain Marvel speaking to a Shi'ar Commander who has notice Cosmic Cube energy on Earth. Meanwhile Blue Marvel, Ms America and Black Panther are trying to come to a decision on what to to with Conner Sims, the Anti-Man. The next story sees how Captain Marvel was able to bring the Ultimates together while in the present the team are dealing with the arrival of Thanos on Earth during the events of Civil War II. The next story sees the team using the timing of one of Ulysses visions to prepare for another breach within time and space that Blue Marvel has been able to temporarily stop before but with the timing the team find out that the breach are of a traveler coming through to meet with the people of Earth. Meanwhile Connor Sims is being contacted be Thanos through a psychic projection as he try's to manipulate Connor to brake out which becomes very easy to do when the team begin to disagree with the use of Ulysses and his predictions of the future. The final story of the book sees the Ultimates dealing with the ramifications of the events of Civil War II as the team have gone their separate ways for the time being. Overall this was a decent book as it expands upon parts of the main Civil War II book with how it effects the team members in the way that partake in missions and where they find themselves at the end of the book. The art within the book is good as each artist delivers on the character drama, action set pieces and the greatly designed character and locations extremely well. However the constant change of art styles becomes jarring in places with parts of the book change quite frequently. 6.5/10.
