Ultimate Origins #3

The third chapter of this five-part series arrives with a commanding cover by Gabriele Dell'Otto — Magneto, clad in dark armor and his signature helmet, stands wreathed in a swirling constellation of suspended bullets, their brass casings caught mid-flight by his magnetic will. It's a quietly chilling image that speaks to the power and menace at the heart of this story, rendered with a painterly depth that suits the series' weighty tone. Brian Michael Bendis and Butch Guice continue pulling back the curtain on the Ultimate Universe's deepest secrets, with Justin Ponsor's colors lending the whole thing a cool, atmospheric gravitas.
