Ultimate Universe #2

Marvel's Ultimate Universe continues to take shape with this 2024 French-language edition collecting stories under the banner of "Travail d'équipe" — teamwork, fittingly enough. The cover, rendered by Marco Checchetto, assembles a striking lineup: a red-and-silver armored Iron Man dominates the foreground, while Thor crackles with lightning, Captain America stands resolute, and a looming, masked figure — imposing and enigmatic — dominates the background alongside what appears to be Doctor Doom. With Jonathan Hickman and Jérémy Manesse crafting the stories inside, and Checchetto's vivid linework brought to life by Matthew Wilson's colors, this is a handsome package for fans eager to explore Marvel's reimagined Ultimate world.
