The Ultimates #1
SCORE: 64
After reading the Ultimate Invasion series I thought I would check
The Ultimates #1. This comic book contains thirty pages of comic book
content. There is also an intro page, and a credits page in The
Ultimates #1. Advertisements can be found all throughout the The
Ultimates #1 comic book. The brand new cost of The Ultimates #1 was
$5.99. A little pricey for the comic book content.
There will be spoilers in my review of the The Ultimates #1 comic book.
The Maker is locked away for eighteen months in The Ultimates #1. Iron
Lad (aka Tony Stark) is building his own team to try and combat The
Maker in the future. The first idea was to try time travel. They sent
boxes back into time to try and make the heroes The Maker stopped from
being created in the first place. That failed in almost every case.
The next idea the team came up with was to go to these would be heroes
themselves. They get Ant-Man and Wasp to join them on this cause. They
get the two of them to become the heroes they were always mean to be.
They defeat Captain Britian in the process. The issues families can have
with The Ultimates #1 are violence, blood, false gods, and more. There
are some gross things like Wasp flying through someone's head and then
throwing up.
Iron Lad has Thor, Captain America, Doom (actually a Reed Richards), Sif
on his team in the beginning. They are labeled as terrorists in this
world. They are trying to set things right according to other universes
in Marvel. The multiverse belief is taught in The Ultimates #1. I did
find the page near the end of The Ultimates #1 about failure to be
interesting. The world map in The Ultimates #1 is also fascinating.
I will read this series a bit more. I am curious to see where things go
after The Ultimates #1. The alternate universe is interesting in The
Ultimates #1. I am not a fan of the price of The Ultimates #1. It was
interesting to see The Maker win in the previous series. The whole time
travel concept in The Ultimates #1 is interesting. It might eventually
explain how all those incursions happened in the past. I am concerned
this series is just going to become another slightly different version
of the main Marvel universe.
