I loved the first one, it added a new feel to a very strong series. It's not, in my opinion as good as The Ultimates (new avengers) series or the Ultimate Spider-Mans but it has strong leading characters and interesting arcs. I think the second volume is alot more stylised than vol 1 and I don't think this helps. If you're a first time Marvel reader, get Spider-Man volume 9, Ultimate Six

I initially read the individual episodes of this comic , here collected as a paperback .Warren Ellis has taken over from Brian Michael Bendis , and has the unenviable task of initiating the first fight between the newly formed Fantastic Four , and their arch-nemesis-to-be , Dr Doom . Ellis' eye for dialogue picks up smoothly where Bendis left off , with more interesting Science Fiction takes on the FF's powers . The art is competent , if not dazzling , and production values ( as with all of the Ultimate ... series ) are excellent . These books will likely pick up in popularity with the impending movie , so get in there before the rush !

This 2nd TPB collecting the Ultimate Fantastic Four really knocks the previous arc for six.
Maybe that's harsh, as the opening arc inevitably had to retell the origin story and Brian Michael Bendis probably updated it as far as possible without straying too far from the classic opener.
Warren Ellis, however, really brings the characters to life in this volume.
The characterisation of Sue Storm is great fun as is the interaction between her and 'uber geek' Reed Richards.
The story centres on the classic FF villain 'Dr Doom', who is re-cast as former classmate Victor Van Damme. He has not been seen since he was caught up in the same incident that created the 'four' and in this volume he reappears in the form of a metal skinned Satyr.
The sequence in which Sue Storm and Reed Richards explore their own changed physiologies (and those of the rest of the team) is well handled as is the reveal of the fantastic-car. The dialogue in particular, sparkles with wit and energy.
