On the surface, Ultimate Spider-Man: Incursion is a story about Miles Morales returning to a very different Ultimate Universe to rescue his sister. Looking at how the story plays out, it's a promotional showcase for the various Ultimate comic titles, with Miles visiting each one in turn in the hopes of getting a reader to try out a new title. See how cool Spider-Man is in issue 1, check out Wakanda in issue 2, look at these funky X-Men is issue 3...

What's most interesting to me though, is that issue 2 is where we get a little more insight into what's up with 6160 Hank Pym. We get Killmonger saying:

"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...

Last time, we saw the Ultimate debut of the first Ultimate Young Avenger. I thought this was merely a cameo. An acknowledgement of these characters and the team as a whole. Turns out that Ultimate Stature actually does something beyond being mind-controlled. (I love when characters do something!)
