5.0 out of 5 stars The best summer action movie you've ever read
Reviewed in the United States on January 16, 2012

So this is my first exposure to the Ultimates which is basically an out-of-continuity universe (with its own continuity, natch) where writers can re-envision great Marvel characters any way they see fit. This is not at all dissimilar to how the Marvel films work and I think UGT is a great blueprint for a film and as big and thrilling as any "proper" event from the main Marvel-U. Someone on here complains that that there's too little Galactus and while that's literally true, man, Ellis really plays off the specter of Galactus so well that it doesn't bother me. Everyone is bugging so hard about his imminent arrival that it creates this tense, menacing vibe. Get this whole collection because you will blaze through it. I force myself to put it down between chapters. Highest recommendation.

4.0 out of 5 stars Unique Spin on Galactus
Reviewed in the United States on May 22, 2012

This book is an original take on the galactus story told within the ultimate universe. You don't have to have read any ultimate books to follow along and appreciate the story. I can see how some think it's anti-climactic but like any great thriller, it leaves a lot of the horror up to the reader's imagination. The majority of the story is a mystery that slowly reveals itself. The art is consistently good with likes of Steve McNiven, John Romita Jr., and Steve Epting. The only reason I give it 4 out of 5 stars is it wraps up too quickly. it spends 12 issues building up to the threat and is wrapped up the second half of the last issue. Overall worth a shot.

5.0 out of 5 stars Quite difficult to put into words ...

The best Galactus-related-comic-book-story I've ever read in my whole life. A great tale of hope,
fear and annihilation. Well-conducted and marvellous drawn. No doubt I think the best part must be,
necessarily, the warning message spread by the wounded herald-alien to all human being using TV-channels, radios,
etcetera. Quite impressive idea, I think.

One hundred per cent pure Marvel comic-book magnificent saga, don't miss it !

3.0 out of 5 stars decent summer read
Reviewed in the United States on May 27, 2010

Jack Kirby and Stan Lee's  Silver Surfer: The Coming of Galactus (Fantastic Four)  from the 60's Fantastic Four is certainly one of the most iconic super-hero adventures of all time. For a fan of the early Marvel comics, it is somewhat odd how these are often criticized as corny or camp. The grandeur of Galactus and the Watcher, the stakes raised by their landing on Earth, the agonizing suspense of the devourer of Worlds' planet-digesting machines being built before powerless New Yorkers, everything conspired to make the reader feel puny, making it clear that mankind's only hope would lie in the inventiveness of the Fantastic Four. And they delivered - the solution to this dire threat an insignificant and yet Universe-shattering gadget. These were the times of the  The Twilight Zone: The Complete Definitive Collection , and  The EC Archives: Weird Science Volume 1  still fresh in the memories of young FF readers.
This volume collecting the modern-day, Ultimate Marvel Gah-Lak-Tus saga compiles the 2006 reimaginings of this legendary tale. It does have a lot to go for it. There is indeed a certain freshness to this saga. The threat of Gah-Lak-Tus looming yet unseen throughout the storyline, the focus is mainly on the attempt by a group of heroes - orchestrated by a very self-confident, Samuel-Jackson-like (depending on the artist) Nick Fury, to understand and defeat the threat.
Nothing here can erase the memory of the awesome Kirby-Lee saga, yet everything feels very professional, very modern and hip, but the grandeur is fairly gone, leaving room for a brand of efficient thriller-like race against time. The dialogue and pace are good and the overall rhythm that of a decent run-of-the-mill Tom Clancy novel and/or movie. In the end though, this is light fare, with solid turns from the Ultimate er... Ultimates and X-men (appearing mostly there as filler). The Ultimate Vision has little to do, seeming mostly to fulfil the role of the orignial's Silver Surfer and ending up as a marginally hot female robot - leaving Earth, then coming back (?). Why the new herald? Difficult to say, especially when the Surfer itself, whose earlier classic adventures were serialized in this great melodrama of a space-faring alien trapped on Earth, ends up a slightly psychopathic shape-shifting mute bad guy with no actual mind of his own.
To cut things short - this Ultimate Galactus saga is a fun, relatively cheap, read but it does lack the truly space-operatic feel of the original. It never leaves you pondering the questions raised by its earlier incarnation, with its awesome, unstoppable force from space, nor does it convey the love that one might feel for Earth (and her ladies!) in the way the original, somewhat less sophisticated, Galactus and Silver Surfer adventure from the sixties did.
Note to European comic book fans: do use Amazon US for your trade paperback needs: delivery is a bit longer but no one yet in Europe can beat those prices!

Not sure I can even finish this. Had It for MONTHS. I'm a big Galactus fan. If you are too do not buy this. Galactus isn't even in it really. Also they keep saying "gal ak tus." Holy damn dumb. Wondering if the writers have any experience with Marvel comics. They seem to know as much as my Grandma...(zero)

4.0 out of 5 stars Awesome great action and a great story
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 25, 2011

Now im a avid reader of ultimate marvel and i just had to get this book.Now the story is really Three separate story's connected with one arc so to review it properly il review each part separably. Act 1 [ ultimate Nightmare ] deals with a strange signal that's showing images of death and destruction and warning of something coming something called GAH LAK TUS.
While the Act 2 [ultimate secret ] is about a alien race called the kree watching earth to see what GAH LAK TUS will do to it ultimate secret is the most weak part of the trilogy [ an the reason why im giving it 4 stars ] but it is still good and does reveal facts about GAH LAK TUS. And then comes Act 3 [ Ultimate Extinction which has a extended prologue called ultimate vision but I will group them together ] In act 3 the fantastic four, X men and ultimate's band together to try and save the world from the evil GAH LAK TUS. All in all act 3 is a very fast paced and it may be disappointing for marvel fans who wanted GAH LAK TUS to be like his 616 counter part but none the less it is a good solid end to the trilogy.

Now looking at the book as a whole it is very good and fun the Art is great and the over all story is good it has many twists and turns and really everything about it is good so if your up for a thrilling story i recommend you buy it.

This collection of the Ultimate universe's brush with Galactus is a great read. I'd say this is an essential purchase for anyone who likes The Ultimates (vol 1+2 that is, not the depressingly bad vol 3).

Nick Fury and his band of super powered agents take on the planet destroyer with the help of the Ultimate U's version of Captain Marvel.

This is right up there with the best Ultimate stuff and fits perfectly into the continuity. Recommended.
