Wanna see how I can light myself on fire?

This volume has my favorite story of the run in the 25th issue. And overall makes a nice prelude to the Our World Under Doom

Not bad, definitely better than season 1

And the cold open of episode 4 is great

Ultimate Universe (2023)

Why they made this part of Ultimate Invasion into a separate one-shot? I have no idea

But this one was definetly a better story than Invasion. It shows us how Iron Lad and Doctor Doom get their revolutionary crew together. And now Maker’s cabal reacted on his sudden disappearance. Spoiler they gone with the act of domestic terrorism

Most of this issue is about freeing Thor from his cell, well less about phisical cell and more about motivating him to escape and fight for his rightfull right for Asgard’s throne. Thor could escape at any moment and just needed a good push. Also Lady Sif is with this team now, not much else to say about her really. She’s behaving like a tsundere i suppose ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Also Lad and Doom dug out Capitan America

And for a finale, as i previously said, the shadow government had shot New-York from Stark Sr.’s satellite pointing at Stark Jr. Getting three things done at once: discredited Tony and Doom, destroying their base of operation and killing a bunch of civilians as a treat. The last scene with TV broadcast teases Black Panther, minimaly shows protagonist of the X-Men book and shows the inciding incident for Spider-Man, bacause in this attack Harry Osborn’s parents die, and also Aunt May had also died in there :|

Also as a bonus they given us a couple of pages from Ultimate X-Men, and judging by them it seems we’ll get a light body-horror, inspired by works of Junji Ito. Which is honestly the best way to make X-Men in my opinion

Ultimate Invasion (2023)

And so, what exactly does one do with the full knowledge of their enemies and the unlimited capacity to engage them before they even have the faintest idea that you exist?

It’s simple really. Whatever one wants.

This is a prelude for the second Ultimate Marvel Universe. And it was a very average comic. And it is the same situation as with DC’s Absolute Universe.

But the world this book introduced looks promising

And i hadn’t mentioned Absolute for no reason, the main concept of both of this lines is quite similar. Ultimate started a year before though, and how exactly this funny coincidence happened is a very good question i have no interest in answering

So what’s going on in here? The Maker(evil Reed Richards from previous Ultimate Verse) had escaped his imprisonment on Earth 616 and wanted to play God on a biggest scale he had done it yet. He got Earth 6160 and modified it in his own image. Specifically he removed all the heroes and villains from the picture(some got killed some were removed in more peaceful way), divided the planet to 7 territories and given control of them to the most malleable of leftover supes, and for shits and giggles tortured Reed Richards of this world into becoming Dr. Doom using a time bubble

And from other things worthy of my attention:

Tony Stark now has an alive dad who is the Iron Man of this world or at least Schrödinger’s dad :) Tony meanwhile is only an Iron Lad
Only non-evil Russians of Marvel Universe(Colossus and Magik) are now part of Maker’s cabal
Peter Parker was saved from becoming Spider-Man Of course he’ll be given a choice to become one, then he will have wife, kids, student debt and alive Uncle Ben :|
On the world map, that contained the borders of the 7 countries, Vakanda was just standing as a big black dot in a middle of Africa marked as “Undiscovered Territory”

Should you read this book? Honestly, this is a bit more complex prelude than with Absolute. DC did the right thing and you can start at any series without much issue. But Ultimate’s main guy is Jonathan Hickman, a guy known for his very lore heavy run on X-Men, in which you needed to read two series at the same time to get what’s going on in other X-Men adjacent books. He made X-Men into a fucking Game of Thrones with bureaucratic procedures for mutant rebirth

And according to Reddit, this same format is working in here too. It is not a bunch of self contained books that you can just pick up from no.1. It is an anthology series with episodes going simultaneously in different parts of the world. And you’ll need to at least read this book and another oneshot after it to get what is going on in other books.

Simply put: it is kinda like the stucture of MCU, but with comics. And no MCU doesn’t have the comic structure for it’s storytelling, it is too serialized

I currently plan to read Ultimates, Spider-Man and X-Men. And thank god most of this runs are already over and i can just binge them arc by arc

City of Gods (2026)

It’s a nice city.

This small fan made comic about Marvel Universe. It’ main question stands as “Why heroes had chosen New York”. And the answers we get are all different from different people including the heroes themselves, but most of them boil down to “it’s New York, of cource they live in here”

I loved how this comic handled the cameo/tribute to Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko, esspecially how Ditko gone to the long tirade about how heroes just wanna be above the normal folk and how they all just wanna brag about it with the help of journalists and bla, bla, bla. And then Kirby just says “It’s a nice city.”. And knowing and loving both of this guy’s works, it tracks

And art in this comic is marvelous as well, it switches between Smallwood style retro-modern art by Ribeiro and in-world advert posters by Pessoa. And one posters i would love to frame on my wall but the release is pretty overly compressed so printing it on A3 sheet of shiny paper wouldn’t do it justice

Also i recommend to watch this video by the writer of this comic exactly making sence of putting the books setting in the 60s
