About the series
In 2008, Warren Ellis and Cary Nord brought the Ultimate Human to Marvel's Ultimate line for a tight four-issue miniseries. This story pitted two of the universe's greatest scientific minds—Tony Stark and Bruce Banner—against one another in a tense, cerebral confrontation. Ellis's sharp, character-driven writing paired with Nord's expressive, moody artwork delivered a grounded exploration of the Hulk's nature within the reimagined Ultimate continuity. It remains a standout for its focused, no-frills take on the classic rivals.
