Reception

Ultimates 3 #1 ranked first in December 2007's Top 300 comics with preorder sales of 131,401,[1] Issue #2 ranked number seven with 105,070 preorders.[2] Issue three ranked better than its predecessor, falling at number five, but had a smaller number of preorders, totaling at 97,210.[3]

Reviewing Ultimates 3, IGN called the book a "reasonably decent experience" although the issue "falters on its own merits",[4] only to later state while reviewing the third issue that "Behind the theatrics and swagger, there's just nothing there to draw me in. These are the characters that I used to enjoy in name only, hollow shells of what they used to be."[5] Comicboards' review was even harsher, remarking that Ultimates 3 "has somehow managed to entirely miss what made the Ultimates something other than alternate universe Avengers" and adding "this was the worst comic I've read all year".[6] The series was panned for its characterization.[7]
