Ultimate Invasion #1

Jonathan Hickman launches a bold new chapter in the Marvel multiverse with this opening issue, illustrated throughout by Bryan Hitch, whose cover showcases a striking assembly of heroes — Miles Morales' Spider-Man leaping at the forefront, flanked by Black Panther, a Nova-helmeted figure, Iron Man, a blue-suited Reed Richards, Black Bolt, Doctor Strange, and more — charging forward with unmistakable urgency. The sheer breadth of that lineup, rendered with Hitch's characteristically cinematic scale and finished with Alex Sinclair's vivid colors, makes for one of 2023's most arresting opening images. If this first chapter is any indication, Ultimate Invasion has the ambition to match its roster.
