Ultimates #9

A towering, battle-worn figure dominates Kenneth Rocafort's cover — a massive mechanized being with a translucent globe-like head filled with swirling cosmic imagery, its blue armored body dwarfing a scattered group of tiny heroes at its feet, including what appears to be Captain Marvel and other Ultimates members fighting desperately in the rubble below. The sheer scale contrast between the colossal threat and the team scrambling against it makes for a genuinely gripping image. Tied into the 2016 Civil War II crossover, this issue from Al Ewing and Rocafort promises the Ultimates facing challenges that feel truly universe-sized.
