The Ultimates by Deniz Camp (2024)

The Ultimates is the flagship superhero team series of Marvel's reimagined Ultimate Universe, written by Deniz Camp with art by Juan Frigeri. Set in an alternate timeline where the villainous Maker has secretly controlled Earth's development for decades, the series follows Tony Stark (Iron Lad), Captain America, Doctor Doom, Thor, and Sif as they build a covert resistance network to restore freedom and create new heroes. With an 18-month deadline before the Maker's plans reach completion, the team uses time-travel technology and strategic interventions to awaken potential heroes who were prevented from achieving their destinies. The series has been critically acclaimed for its radical political themes, innovative storytelling, and fresh take on classic Marvel characters, winning IGN's Best Comic Book Series of 2024. Camp and Frigeri's run explores themes of resistance, heroism, and what it means to fight for freedom in a world built on lies.
