Cataclysm: The Ultimates' Last Stand #4

The penultimate chapter of Cataclysm: The Ultimates' Last Stand arrives with a cover by Mark Bagley and John Dell that puts two of the Ultimate Universe's finest front and center — a battered Ultimate Captain America, his torn uniform and cracked shield speaking to the brutal toll of the conflict, while Miles Morales's Spider-Man crouches protectively at his side amid swirling smoke and debris. The pairing feels both urgent and weighty, capturing exactly the kind of desperate heroism the title promises. With Brian Michael Bendis writing and Bagley on interior art, this 2014 issue delivers the series' signature blend of high stakes and genuine heart heading into the finale.
