Ultimates 2 #100

A milestone hundredth issue for Al Ewing's ambitious cosmic team book, and Travel Foreman's cover delivers the weight of that occasion — Iron Man and a red-armored figure flank Captain America as the three loom over a glowing, turbulent sphere in which a young woman in a star-spangled costume strains against some unseen force. The composition is tense and intimate, three heavy-hitters drawn together around something — or someone — that crackles with barely contained energy against a smoldering golden sky. "Garden of Ideas" promises the kind of big-stakes storytelling that made Ultimates 2 one of Marvel's most ambitious series of 2017.
