Here at POTW we make the tough decision of what to buy if you only had money for ONE book coming out that week… this is easily the best book coming out any given Wednesday…deal with it.
As I’ve stated in past columns, the Ultimate Universe has always held a soft spot in my heart. This started with Ultimate Spider-Man and then branched out to where I picked up anything with an Ultimate label on it. There is no better example of how far the Ultimate Universe had fallen off its pedestal than between Ultimates 2 and Ultimates 3.
Fortunately, this week’s release of Ultimates Comics: Ultimates #1 seeks to get the franchise back on its rightful high horse. Jonathan Hickman and Esad Ribic have come together to give us a monthly Ultimates book featuring Thor, Spider-Woman, and a new Giant Man. This is a new initiative to not just relaunch the Ultimates but the whole line of Ultimate titles. And with creators like Hickman and Ribic as the corner stone, I think this relaunch will surely succeed.
