Due to Loeb not being familiar with the source material (leading to the Wasp being retconned to be white when she was previously established as being of Asian ethnicity, for example) and suffering personal problems at the time he wrote it, the 3rd volume of the Ultimates wasn't very well received and led to the universally reviled event known as Ultimatum. The Ultimates 3 was penned by Jeph Loeb and drawn by Joe Madureira. ![]() The first two volumes of the Ultimates were well received and their take on classic characters and even storylines can be felt all over in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The Ultimates 2 deals with other countries taking issue with America using the Ultimates on their soil whether they ask for it or not, eventually culminating in a rival superpowered squad called "The Liberators" giving America a taste of their own medicine, as well as a mole personally orchestrating much of the events of the volume behind the scenes. ![]() Originally launched in 2002, the first miniseries saw the iconic group go up against one of their own after Bruce Banner hulks out during a personal meltdown and later uncover an ancient alien conspiracy by a race called the Chituari, who have been plotting world domination as far back as World War II. as an attempt to curb the rising threat of super terrorism and other Persons of Mass Destruction. As the above quote says, this series is not merely a retelling of the classic crossover superhero team, but goes the extra mile and reimagines the Avengers in this reality as a superhuman strike force team founded by S.H.I.E.L.D.

Look for the mammoth 504 page collection on August 11 (with a retail price of $44.99). Steve gets a new (short lived) black costume and begins calling himself “The Captain”.īesides the battle for the soul of America, the collection also includes appearances from Iron Man, The Falcon, Nomad, D-Man, Diamondback, Freedom Force, the Horsemen of Apocalypse (an inevitable “X-Men: Fall of the Mutants” crossover if you remember the late 1980s), Flag Smasher, the Serpent Society, HYDRA, and of course, the Red Skull. Walker even takes on his own sidekick in the form of Battlestar (Lemar Hoskins) and attempts to fill the big shoes of the original Captain America. This new Cap is none other than John Walker, formerly known as the misguided Super-Patriot. The story begins when Steve Rogers refuses to become a government operative and he is stripped of his uniform and shield and a new government sanctioned Captain America is appointed. With the success of Marvel’s The Falcon and The Winter Soldier, it is probably the right time to release the original battle for the shield that took place back in 1987 in the pages of Captain America.Ĭaptain America Epic Collection: The Captain contains issues #333-350 of Captain America and the lone-crossover with Tony Stark in Iron Man #228 by Mark Gruenwald, Bob Layton, David Michelinie, Tom Morgan, Kieron Dwyer, John Byrne, and Mark Bright. ![]()
