Superstar Warren Ellis teams with hot newcomer Trevor Hairsine (Ultimate Six) to tell a story of international intrigue that shakes every Ultimate book to its core! As world communications systems break down, the source of the anomaly is revealed as Tunguska, Russia. Nick Fury of S.H.I.E.L.D. leads a force comprised of Captain America, Black Widow, and Sam Wilson to investigate, while, simultaneously, Charles Xavier of the X-Men dispatches his own team consisting of Jean Grey, Wolverine, and Colossus. And what they discover there - and what happens next - defies belief!

I really loved this first volume. Never have I read a comic book where I felt suspense and generally a very uncomfortable, scary feeling for what's coming ahead. This comic book accomplished that. Unfortunately the next two volumes that follow this aren't nearly as good as this and really end up dropping the ball in my opinion. But this one is a great read. And if you happen to be interested in reading the next two volumes, I say go for it. I had to after reading this one!

4.0 out of 5 stars A good read... nice addition to the "Ultimate" storyline
Reviewed in the United States on May 12, 2006

This was a fine read, with some very effective sequences... The story starts with Earth being bombarded by an intergalactic SOS signal which depicts the annihilation of a highly civilized alien species. Images of their destruction, with corpses piled high in a manner reminiscent of the Holocaust, flood the planet, taking over every broadcast device on the world. Not only do the images interrupt out lives, so does the emotional content of their mass death, with their anguish and fear broadcast on every frequency known to man. A wave of fear and suicidal depression follows, prompting a response by Nick Fury's SHIELD and Professor Xavier's X-Men, with both groups being clueless about the real cause of the "attack." The story unfolds gracefully, aided by striking, hyper-realistic artwork. Best of all, I thought, was the cold, lethal efficiency of the SHIELD agents, which may take some readers by surprise. I found this book thoroughly entertaining... definitely worth checking out!

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant writing, like watching a horror sci-fi.
Reviewed in the United States on March 18, 2012
Occasionally I like to pick up a graphic novel or two when I get bored. I was in such a mood when I ran across this book. Unlike most comics out there, both the writing and the art are great. The pacing is perfect, there's cinematic art instead of a bunch of words explaining everything, and the atmosphere is just flawless. The one issue I had is that the dialog is mostly passable, but it never took me out of the story. Pick this up if you get a chance. It starts with the Tunguska Event of 1904, blazing through to 2004, and the story just does not let up. You won't be disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thank you Warren Ellis
Reviewed in the United States on December 11, 2004
Undoubtadly one of the best and most prolific writers in comic history, Warren Ellis, who has given us the classic Transmetropolitan series, had an unheralded run on Hellblazer, and crafted classics with Planetary and his current run on Ultimate Fantastic Four, has crafted something really special with Ultimate Nightmare. I've never been much of a fan of Marvel's Ultimate line, and besides Mark Millar's Ultimates has anything else in the Ultimate universe impressed me, but Ellis weaves a tale that begins and ends with some cataclysmic results. It all begins when every communications device and psychic on the planet receive an image of an alien race being obliterated, and the source of the signal is traced to Tunguska, Russia. Professor Charles Xavier sends three of his X-Men; Wolverine, Jean Grey, and Colossus to investigate, while Ultimates leader Nick Fury, along with Captain America, the Black Widow, and Sam Wilson (with Falcon wings in tow) check out the source as well. I won't ruin the twists and surprises in store, but all I'll say is that longtime Marvel fans who may have been turned off by the Ultimate line will be in for a real treat here. The art by Trevor Hairsine is great as well, and his rendering of the signal received all over the planet is simply chilling. All this sets the stage for Ellis' next Ultimate mini-series, entitled Ultimate Secret which introduces Ultimate readers to another old time Marvel icon.

5.0 out of 5 stars 6 Stars on 5... Minus 1 for too much time for next volume..
Reviewed in the United States on April 22, 2005
This is one of the 'ULTIMATE' story arcs in the 'Ultimate Series' by Marvel.

Featuring a fraction of both teams (X-men & SHIELD) the book was like a super-hero movie minus the bad story. If they took this book and made a movie `page-for-frame', it would be a bigger hit than `Spider-Man' by Sam Raimi (& I'm a die hard Spidey -fan for over 20 years!!)

Here's my 'non-spoiler' blurb: `Two sets of heroes racing from two sides to the middle where its one set of HEROES who come out "defeated" instead of the conventional bad guy'. More? You don't have a full SHIELD or X-Men team. Characters seem a little different from what they have appeared in the series till now Cap & Fury are partially sidelined but the Falcon makes you forget this and makes for excellent reading.

Icing on cake? The story telling & unconventional views! Especially Wolverine's argument with Jean towards the end that casts doubt on any other `God-level'-powered super hero and shakes the mastermind image of Charles Xavier. Proof for `Brains better than brawn OR super-powers/ Mutant Gene'.... Not doubts after this book that Tech, super-powers & funding in the world means SQUAT unless you have a brain that makes it work together.

Two complaints- The ending was/is an UNBEARABLE TEASE (Book 2 not released yet!). And How many "Levels of Secrecy" does Marvel plan to invent for SHIELD?

Don't hate my unrevealing review; you will thank me when you finish the book. Translation: BUY THIS BOOK ASAP!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Ultimate imprint delivers again
Reviewed in the United States on February 24, 2006
One of the greatest things about the Ultimate universe is the way old and venerable characters and storylines are treated with a 21st century sensibility, and that they are almost totally devoid of "filler" the way Marvel's 616 (or "regular") universe has been throughout the years.

"Nightmare" gives us the best of what we've become used to in the Ultimate universe - gritty, realistic characterizations, and compelling, suspenseful storylines - while touching on territory that is so far unexplored in this imprint... the coming of Galactus. It also gives a weight and a mystery to Galactus (or Gah Lak Tus, in this incarnation) that was not present in it's original incarnation.

The book itself is very suspenseful and reads like a horror story, and is compelling enough to hook even someone uninitiated to these characters at all. Best of all, at the end, the reader is left wanting more, and looking forward to the next two installments in this series.

Item arrived in good condition. Although I knew it was an ex-library book, I didn't expect for it to be covered in adhesive plastic wrap. I don't mind that so much and so am happy with the overall condition of the book. Can't wait to read it now.
