Specifically "Ultimate Comics Ultimates"


Contains some Spoilers if you didn't read it yet




There is some crazy stuff happening right now. The ultimate series had its good and bad arcs, but I think this current one is definitely one of the best so far, bringing in more characters from the original canon like Kang. I found it odd that he's a woman in the ultimate series though.

But it's insane that Kang, Hulk, and Reed Richards have banded together with the power of the infinity gems; the greatest minds in the world with potential omnipotence at their disposal. They now have taken over the world and are now "saving it."

Because it's with the infinity gems, I wonder if this will usher in the rebirth of Ultimate Thanos.





My favorite arc by far though was the one that dealt with the "Children of Tomorrow" It was definitely a huge surprise for "The Maker" to be revealed as Reed Richards(Mr. Fantastic)

He is definitely the best villain the ultimate have seen yet in my opinion. He's just so sinister but incredibly smart beyond any other character so far, which is also tragic because if I'm not mistaken the fantastic four were the first marvel super-hero group.


The whole concept of the city of tomorrow, a city that aged thousands of years within five minutes due to time distortion was really interesting. Also wiping out Asgard and deflecting every nuclear missile ever produce was pretty damn astonishing.

What else I really loved about that arc is some recurring minor characters from the Hawkeye series. They have shown to be one of the most intriguing groups in the series and I wish they would expand more upon them. They are called the Eternals and the Celestials. They live in Tian, an Asian themed city that is on floating rocks.

Their leaders being Zorn and Xorn, who look badass, have also demonstrated to be one of the most powerful characters introduced yet.

Well anyways if any of you read the ultimate series, share your thoughts on the good and bad and your favorite arc.

If you don't read it, then I'd advise you to start because it's pretty good.

good move sir that scan just convinced me to pick up the trade. What issue is that btw.


It's "Ultimate Comics Ultimates" #7

There's a difference between "Ultimate Comics Ultimates" and just "the Ultimates" so you know


if you want to start reading the series all-together though from the very beginning, you'd have to read it in this order

Some of them you don't really have to read, but it gives some really interesting background and shows characters like Ghost Rider and Blade.

Also a lot of them like Ultimate Hawkeye(which gives backstory on Zorn) are like 4 issues long.

There are more to the series, but these are the "main" ones


Ultimates Vol 1-3

Ultimatum

Ultimate Comics: New Ultimates

Ultimate Comics: Avengers Vol 1-3

Ultimate Comics: Avengers vs New Ultimates

Ultimate Fallout

Ultimate Hawkeye

Ultimate Comics: The Ultimates

yeah it's definitely good, but like I said it has its bad moments.

Personally my least favorite is Ultimatum due to the amount of violence and death in that arc

But I think the best is without a doubt Ultimate Comics: Ultimates
