Ultimates 2 issue 9

One of the best comic book issues ever. So bloody ballsy. And what a payoff when the traitor gets revealed? Or does it? Hmmmmm still 3 issues to go. And because there's sod all spoilers for Mark Millar's series, its amazingly good fun to hurry home from the comic book shop and read it.

So in terms of epic plot, well crafted characters and twist and turns left right and centre:

Ultimates = Angel season 2 + Buffy season 3 + Firefly
