Ultimates 2: Eternity War Review

Finished reading Ultimates 2: Eternity War, concluding the series as writer Al Ewing puts the main focus of the book onto Galactus as the Lifbringer finds himself in the middle of a cosmic war with the fate of the multiverse at stake. The book opens in the middle of Marcel's Secret Empire event as the Ultimates along with a large group of heroes are fighting of wave upon wave of Chitauri heading to Earth while the heroes are also shut off from their home thanks to a planetary shield on the planet. This leads to America Chavez going to find Galactus for help only for the Lifebringer to to decline as he shifts his focus to building his own team that his dubs the Eternity Watch after going to Ego and giving the sentient planet his own body to help fight against the threat of Logos and the Dark Celestials. Meanwhile the Maker uses this as an opportunity to implement his plan to turn the multiverse into one single universe which plays into the hands of the First Firmament who currently has Eternity as its prisoner. Overall this was a good book as it it brings a end to the series and the concept of the Ultimates within the main Marvel universe to a very satisfying conclusion for the more cosmic elements and characters of the book. The art throughout the book is great thanks to the way the whole art team is able to bring to life the different cosmic elements within the book along with the action set pieces by giving them a great sense of scale and wonder. 7.5/10.
