Preview of The Ultimates #1 Establishes Foundation for New World

Step into the thrilling Ultimate Universe, born from the cataclysmic Ultimate Invasion event. Since its inception, a youthful Tony Stark has been tirelessly working to dismantle the machinations of The Maker, rallying allies to his cause. The initial steps of his daring plan are unveiled in the gripping opening pages of The Ultimates #1.

Masterfully penned by Deniz Camp and brought to life by the artistic prowess of Juan Frigeri, the narrative picks up right where Ultimate Universe #1 left off. Tony has successfully enlisted the help of this world’s Reed Richards (aka Doctor Doom), Sif, and Thor. They have managed to recover the still-frozen Captain America and have unlocked the secrets of time travel technology. However, their victory is marred by Thor’s injury from their first skirmish, and they find themselves labeled as terrorists by the Maker’s allies. And this is just the beginning of their trials.

Feast your eyes on the cover and the first six pages of The Ultimates #1 below.

The Ultimates’ Mission to Restore the Marvel Universe

The intricate details of Tony’s grand scheme remain shrouded in mystery in the preview. However, glimpses of his strategy have been unveiled in the pages of Ultimate Spider-Man. Tony has been seen extending a hand to those like Peter Parker, who were destined to become superheroes. Intriguingly, in Ultimate Spider-Man #5, it was revealed that Tony has been courting some villains as well. The new Shocker, for instance, was revealed to have pilfered his gear after discovering the body of the man intended to receive his tech. While the deceased man’s identity remains unknown, it’s plausible he is the Herman Schultz of Earth-6160.

The cover of The Ultimates #1 hints that Ant-Man and the Wasp will be the next to join the team. With the war against the Maker looming, the potential recruits are virtually limitless, setting the stage for a monumental clash and a fresh take on Marvel’s beloved characters.

Mark your calendars! The Ultimates #1 hits comic shops everywhere on June 5, 2024.
