The Ultimates (2024) marks the bold resurgence of Marvel’s Ultimate Universe, spinning directly out of Ultimate Universe #1 by Jonathan Hickman and Stefano Caselli. Written by Deniz Camp (Children of the Vault, 20th Century Men) and featuring dynamic art by Juan Frigeri (Invincible Iron Man) with colors by Federico Blee, this all-new series redefines what it means to be a hero in a world shaped by control and manipulation.
Six months ago, Tony Stark—now operating as Iron Lad—sent a radioactive spider to Peter Parker, reigniting his path to becoming Spider-Man. But Peter isn’t the only one being brought back into the fold. Stark, along with Captain America, Doctor Doom, Thor, and Sif, has been quietly awakening other dormant heroes, forming a growing resistance of powerful individuals ready to reshape the world.
Together, this new generation of Ultimates must challenge The Maker’s Council, a secretive force ruling from the shadows and suppressing free will. With their sights set on dismantling this authoritarian regime, the team ignites a rebellion that could shatter the foundations of the new Ultimate Universe.
Packed with revolutionary ideas, high-stakes action, and a fresh spin on iconic characters, The Ultimates launches the next era of Marvel storytelling. It’s not just a team—it’s a movement. And it’s just getting started.
