The Maker has recreated the Ultimate Universe (now numbered Earth-6160), but transformed Earth into a world without superheroes. Since then a young Tony Stark and a number of other desperate survivors have started the fight back, but the Maker's Council has convinced the world that Stark and Co. are actually dangerous terrorists.
That's the basic setup for The Ultimates - a new ongoing series from writer Deniz Camp and artist Juan Frigeri. While Spider-Man, Black Panther and the X-Men are off adventuring in their own series, The Ultimates is the line's flagship team book. We've read the first issue and while we can't get into any spoilers just yet, we can say that this is an effective and suitably epic start to the new series.
