About the series
The second volume of Mark Millar and Bryan Hitch’s blockbuster reimagining of Marvel’s premier super-team, Ultimates 2 (2005–2007) continues the gritty, cinematic reinvention of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes within the Ultimate Universe. This 13-issue run deepens the political and personal tensions of the team as they face threats ranging from a resurrected Captain America to an alien invasion, all rendered with Hitch’s hyper-detailed, widescreen art. A defining work of the mid-2000s Marvel line, it pushed the boundaries of blockbuster storytelling in comics, cementing the Ultimates as a bold, controversial, and hugely influential take on the superhero genre.
