Ultimates #2

The second issue of Marvel's 2024 Ultimates series arrives with a cover by Dike Ruan that crackles with kinetic energy — Captain America and Iron Man are locked in a fierce close-quarters struggle amid flying debris and a shield mid-arc overhead, rendered in vivid detail that makes the tension feel almost physical. Whether these two are fighting side by side or against each other, Ruan's composition leaves you genuinely eager to find out what brought Earth's mightiest to this moment. With Deniz Camp writing and Juan Frigeri on interior art, this reimagined Ultimates looks like a bold, sharp take on Marvel's most ambitious team.
