I think the best way to show respect to what Mark and Bryan (and Andrew, Chris and Paul) did is to be true to the spirit of it. To me that means fresh storytelling and channeling the anxieties and energies of the time. It means letting the world in a little bit. So that’s what we’re doing. Where that Ultimates was channeling post-9/11 paranoia, this one is addressed to that nagging sense that everything’s gone wrong somehow, that things were supposed to be better than this. -- Deniz Camp

"We can change the status quo. In fact, the entire purpose of the book is to change the status quo, to change the world. In 616 that would be kind of an empty threat; in the Ultimate universe it’s not only possible, it’s probable (whether they change it for the better or worse is a different story)." - Deniz Camp

"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. You know, both in conversation with that book, but also just in conversation with the world. So I felt like right now it felt more pregnant to me to take them on as terrorists and people trying to change the status quo for the better as they see it and all the complexity that comes with that. So to me, you know, what does a modern hero look like? It doesn't look like somebody who's trying to maintain the status quo. And so I wanted to channel some of the revolutionary energy that I feel around me and my friends and also the sense of disappointment that I feel kind of permeating everybody that I talk to, everybody that I know with how the world is and everybody has kind of different reasons for that."

"I would say that Madame Web is such a complex character that I don’t want to introduce her to the Ultimates. I think she has a certain amount of baggage. I don’t have any plans for Madame Web, but I could see that the movie is absolutely mind blowing in one way. So maybe if I see it and I’m inspired by it, you know, it could happen." - Deniz Camp

In further proof that this is the best version of the Ultimate Universe Ultimates, this issue features an aversion of one of Ultimatum's most infamous scenes!

In a strange contrast, it also features the nearest this series has come to a Millar line.

'They’re labeled as terrorists and it would be very easy to say, "Well, they’re not actually terrorists, they’re just being labeled as such." But maybe there are things that they do that aren’t great. Or maybe there are things that they do that would genuinely scare people and it’s okay to put that into the work, you know?' - Deniz Camp

The data pages were based directly on the Castle Bravo report, and some of the most egregious things said in the data page were almost word for word things said by those involved in the research. -- Deniz Camp

"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."

Issue one of the new Ultimates series, already with half a page of backstory to catch up with on the title page - not a good jumping-on point.

Here, as with Spider-Man, Ant-Man and the Wasp missed out on their super-hero origin stories thanks to the Maker. Instead, they became a married couple running an exterminator business. Six months ago, Tony Stark gave Hank Pym the 'superpowers in a ball' similar to the one he offered Peter Parker, but it was never cracked open...

"We've really set the heroes on a war footing. The aggressors have set the tone, and it's a nasty one. The heroes will always try to win without dropping bodies but that may not be possible. I've had Tony working on his memoirs and it's a good way for me to show you what’s on his mind during these difficult days."

"Well, the real honest answer is, years ago Mark Waid and his collaborators were looking for some juice at the end of History of the Marvel Universe. I don’t think [the wedding of Emma Frost and Tony Stark] showed up until letters. And I just said, absolutely they can do that. Not that I was giving them permission, I just wasn’t casting a no-vote. But what I said was, please just don’t expect me to act on it. And that was the end of it." - Gerry Duggan

"I looked at Tony/Iron Man the same way that I looked at X-Men when I got the chair. The villain roster needed some depth, and a lot of the old great ones are dead. Feilong is a great villain for both Tony and Iron Man. I’ve swung a lot of wrecking balls at these characters, and wrecked a lot of lives, but what Feilong does in the second arc of that solo book is really beyond the pale." - Gerry Duggan

"It's very much evident out of the gate that someone is gunning for Tony Stark. He's been in that position before, but Tony doesn't really have a Lex Luthor opposite him at the moment... I think the writer secret that we never try to keep a secret, that we want to tell everyone when they want to break in, is be generous to your villains. Be good to your villains because they will nourish your story. And we do." - Gerry Duggan

"The gift that I intend to bring to Tony as a forever gift, hopefully, and obviously future creators and future editors will get to decide this, is whether or not this new Iron Man villain that's coming along is going to be a forever gift. I certainly intend it to be." - Gerry Duggan

And I say “galaxy,” singular, because galaxies are absolutely fucking massive! And the space between them is even bigger. And when you actually sit down and figure out, okay, the Skrulls are impinging on the Kree’s boundaries…that’s a great politics plotline, but that’s like saying I have an issue over a garden fence with a guy in Azerbaijan. [...] I said, “well, they’re the Guardians of the Galaxy. There’s one galaxy.” I don’t care what anybody said before, I don’t care what anybody says after: for the purposes of this book, there’s one galaxy, and if people complain, we’ll shrug and say, “well, there’s always been one galaxy. You must have imagined all those other stories.” But, yeah, no: it’s cheating. I feel like at this point, I’m allowed to completely ignore continuity. I have paid homage to it enough. I am allowed to completely ignore it to make my life easier. -- Al Ewing

Doom saves the day. Walks away like a boss. That's awesome, but as much as I want to show scans of that, let's see the post-event lovefest!
