The Ultimates #2

[alliterator]

by Deniz Camp and Juan Frigeri

"I read the original Ultimates and I thought the original Ultimates was a clear response to 9/11 and a satire of American hegemony at the time and so I wanted our Ultimates to be a response to our times. [...] Part of the book is, well, what does it mean to change the world? And we all want to change the world, but do we all want to change it in the same way? It felt very ripe story wise."
-- Deniz Camp


Captain America and the Ultimates attack the White House on July 4th, while Captain America flashes back to the history lesson Tony Stark gave him after he came out of the ice.









After this issue was came out, Marvel came out with a new variant cover that is a big old SPOILER:


Yes, that's right: Captain America was trying to literally save America.

I still hate Iron Lad's speech bubbles (so hard to read, and the 'cursor' cluttering his thought captions in issue 1 was very distracting) but I love everything else in this series. Such a refreshing change to have the Ultimates actually kicking in the door of the establishment rather than just being government stooges.
