The Ultimates is a fictional group of superheroes appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Although the team takes its name from the unrelated team Ultimateswhich was the version of the Avengersit is set in the standard . The title has been used for two volumes, both written by Al Ewing. Both volumes have the same team and their goal is to protect Earth and the larger universe from cosmic threats. In FebruaryMarvel announced that it would be fusing its mainstream universe and Ultimate universe into one following its crossover event, Secret Wars. On utilizing the name, Ewing told Comics Alliance. And The Ultimates is a fine name for a book—it says it all, really. The team also features an uncommon practice in modern media of having no Caucasian men, the team being diverse in both race and gender. On the team's diversity, Ewing said. I think it's important in the way that a roof is important. If you're moving into a building and the landlord says 'oh, and we have—get this—a roof! And four walls! We're not just a hole someone dug in the street! Ultimates: Omniversal Vol. 2: Civil War II: Vol. 2 just a basic thing that ought to be standard. Ultimates: Omniversal Vol. 2: Civil War II: Vol. 2 just fiction reflecting reality—there are all kinds of people in the world, and we should reflect that properly and try not to screw up. To be honest, I think there's a long way to go in a lot of ways, both on the page and off. In Marvel NOW! Americaand Captain Ultimates: Omniversal Vol. 2: Civil War II: Vol. 2 come together to deal with cosmic threats to Earth and the larger universe. The Ultimates begin their mission by dealing with . This time, Galactus emerges from it as a lifebringer instead of a Devourer of Worlds. His first act is to restore Archeopia, the first victim of his hunger. While the Ultimates were in Exo-Space upon arriving there in their ship the Abeona, they encountered 's old enemy Anti-Man whose body had reassembled there. Instead, Blue Marvel brought him back to the Abeona so that he and the Ultimates can fix him. During the Civil War II storyline, Ulysses later received a that tipped off Blue Marvel about Infinaut's ninth manifestation attempt enabling him, Giant-Manand the Ultimates to work on a Pym Particle accelerator within a week. When the day in happened, Blue Marvel and the Ultimates used the Pym Particle accelerator to anchor Infinaut and shrink him down to human size. When he finally spoke to Blue Marvel and the Ultimates, Infinaut was pleased to finally meet them. When the Planetary Defense Shield is activated as part of 's plans to take over the United States, the Ultimates and those with them are trapped outside the Planetary Defense Shield as they continue their fight against the . When collaborated with to destroy the Superflow that kept the different universes separate in order to merge them into one reality, the Earth Ultimates members Captain AmericaIron ManGiant-ManWaspand were revived where they were to help fight the First Firmament. As both versions of Ultimates concluded that there is no reason to fight each other, Maker killed the Earth for disobeying his orders. Upon Maker being defeated, both Ultimates helped Eternity to break free from the First Firmament, giving Galactus and his Eternity Watch the chance to defeat the Aspirants. Eternity subsequently summoned the embodiment's of the past Multiverses to his aid. These "Ultimate Ultimates" chained the First Firmament and took it away to another plane of existence Ultimates: Omniversal Vol. 2: Civil War II: Vol. 2 hopes to heal it.

Morph rated it really liked it Shelves: comics-read-in I love this book. It's intelligently written, has great art for the most part and constantly has me wanting to see what's next. I also like the team's attempts to use non-violent methods as much as possible. While I enjoy a good slugfest as much as the next person, I'd like to see more recognition that violence isn't always the answer, even for superheroes! The reason I've docked a star is that this volume was, unfortunately but inevitably, slightly derailed by Civil War II. It was one of the b I love this Ultimates: Omniversal Vol. 2: Civil War II: Vol. 2. It was one of the better tie-ins, admittedly, but still I'm really looking forward to Ultimates2, despite the stupid name. View 2 comments. Apr 14, Craig rated it it was ok. It can't be easy to follow a writer like , who makes these galactic Ultimates: Omniversal Vol. 2: Civil War II: Vol. 2 seem almost effortless, but Al Ewing seems to be giving it a go. Unfortunately, he doesn't seem to have an artist dedicated to the book. Kenneth Rocafort's work is pretty great, but I'd hazard a guess that he's a really slow artist, because around issue 9, we've got a mixture of Rocafort and Djibril Morissette, who is one of the worst artists I've ever seen in a comic from a major company--worse than It can't be easy to follow a writer like Jonathan Hickman, who makes these galactic storylines seem almost effortless, but Al Ewing seems to be giving it a go.

The two of them switch off duties in issues 9, 10, and 11, with Morissette's work completely pulling readers out of the story.

The only thing that kept me going was Ewing's story, which was fairly strong this time around he's not really known for this, even though his work keeps being trumpeted. The Ultimates used to be a flagship title, but that doesn't seem to be the case anymore. Jan 26, Sesana rated it liked it Shelves: comicssuperhumans. Admirable attempt to ignore the big event and get on with this book's story. It's only so effective. After all, headlines this book. But it does allow for some actual story. Sep 21, Jasmine rated it it was ok Shelves: graphic-novelmarvel. Seriously, everyone in this book needs therapy. Grief therapy, PTSD therapy, longstanding trauma therapy, "you have Ultimates: Omniversal Vol. 2: Civil War II: Vol. 2 stressful job" therapy, anger therapy, etc. Honestly the military would have someone check up on you if say, your significant other was killed in front of you. The fact that NO one does this in this universe, and you are the one in charge of talking to your SO's family and friends about your lover's death-- honestly that's one of the least realistic parts of a SUPERHERO comic and Seriously, everyone in this book needs therapy. The fact that NO one does this in this universe, and you are the one in charge of talking to your SO's family and friends about your lover's death-- honestly that's one of the least realistic parts of a SUPERHERO comic and it really annoys me. There were whole main characters Ultimates: Omniversal Vol. 2: Civil War II: Vol. 2 and like, huge structural changes possibly a government fell? A serious shame because the parts that were allowed to work without editorial edicts like "no one is allowed to get help for their issues" and "massive stuff has to happen off screen that we react to only despite being major players in the conflict"-- the stuff that worked between those edicts-- was really good! It's just the rest of it that reminded me Ultimates: Omniversal Vol. 2: Civil War II: Vol. 2 I dropped all my comics subscription. So clearly a hamhanded story "we have to make these powerful people fight" and just so stupid and not true to any of the work that's been done on the character. Feb 18, Shannon Appelcline rated it really liked it Shelves: comicscomics-marvel. Ewing has the unenviable tasks of trying to justify the character assassination of Captain Marvel over in Civil War II and of writing a comic where's she a star without making it totally dependent on Civil War II. As a whole, he does a decent job. There's some pretty good explanation of how Carol might have gotten to where she did, as of the fascist mind-control brigade. It even offers the previous volume of the Ultimates as Exhibit A, which makes it feel believable and relevant. Beyond tha Ewing has the unenviable tasks of trying to justify the character assassination of Captain Marvel over Ultimates: Omniversal Vol. 2: Civil War II: Vol. 2 Civil War II and of writing Ultimates: Omniversal Vol. 2: Civil War II: Vol. 2 comic where's she a star without making it totally dependent on Civil War II. Beyond that, the comic does closely interweave with Civil War IIbut Ewing mostly uses it as a generator of problems that he then responds to — with the main one being , and what happens after his appearance in the crossover. Early on, he's pretty adept at managing this linkage, using a nice visual montage to shortcut past Civil War II events. The result actually makes sense, which hasn't been the case with Marvel's crossover comics in recent years. However, the last issue is a bit more troublesome. Apparently, the climatic events for the Ultimates occur in Civil War II between issuesso we only get to see the fallout, which makes this volume of the comic anticlimax. Still, as a whole this second volume of the Ultimates makes sense, Ultimates: Omniversal Vol. 2: Civil War II: Vol. 2 has a lot of the charm of its predecessor, and it has good character work. By no means does it stand on its own, however. It earns maybe 3. Dec 18, Chris Lemmerman rated it liked it Shelves: comics-and-manga-read. Focusing more on the Ultimates rather than Captain Marvel at least until near the endthis arc looks at the intrusion of the government into how the team operates, as well as how Thanos factors into the main story and his interactions with the Anti-Man. It's a testa [Read as single issues] Not content with mucking up other books, Civil War II steamrolls its way into the Ultimates, and just like he did with New Avengers, Al Ewing does his best to ignore it and get on with his own story instead. It's a testament once again to Ewing's writing that he manages to slide in and out of the main Civil War II narrative and use what I assume weren't his decisions to inform his own story. The only falldown this arc does have is that Kenneth Rocafort doesn't get to pencil it all; he double teams with Djibril Morrisette, whose art is a lot more simplistic than Rocafort's own, and whilst they do try and divide the story up properly among them so that they pencil different plots and don't cross too much, the clash of styles is very noticable. Once again we also get a fill-in issue by Christian Ward setting up Ultimates Squared, which is a beautiful way to end the book. Despite outside influences, Ultimates remains the best Avengers title without having the word 'Avengers' in it. Bring on Ultimates Squared. Mar 10, Mike rated it liked it. Introspective, like a book about existence and death is probably expected to be. Not as much fun as Ewing has trained me to expect of him. Feb 28, Rick rated it liked it Shelves: library-loangraphic-booksavengerscaptain- marvelblack-panthermarvel-now. Probably would have been a better read had I gotten to it when the whole Civil War II was actually going down. Doesn't feel as timely or powerful now that the whole thing is over and done.
