Cataclysm: The Ultimates' Last Stand #1

The Ultimate Universe faces its most daunting threat yet as a towering Galactus dominates the cover, dwarfing the assembled Ultimates who charge into battle against him — Thor hammer raised, Iron Man repulsors blazing, Captain America shield in hand, and two more figures bracing with firearms below. Mark Bagley and John Dell deliver a cover that captures the sheer scale of the challenge facing Earth's mightiest heroes, with Galactus looming so large he makes the planet itself look small behind him. Brian Michael Bendis and Bagley kick off "Cataclysm Part One" with a premise that feels genuinely consequential — this is the Ultimate Marvel team at its most desperate.
