Ultimates Vol 1: Fix the World
by Deniz Camp and Jonathan Hickman, illustrated by Juan Frigeri, is a new
series set in the new Ultimate Universe. I read this through Marvel Unlimited.
This book collects seven issues of the hit series. In this book, Tony Stark, Captain America,
Doom (Reed Richards), and Thor are building a resistance to the Maker’s Council
that secretly runs the world. The world is being run by supervillains and most
of the population have no idea. Their secret war takes them to the White House
and across the globe. The heroes have their work cut out for them.
Each issue for the most part has a simple mandate--
establish a new hero in the Ultimate Universe-- and that is done extremely
well. There is action, humor, plenty of beautiful art work, and great character
work. New heroes are introduced and existing heroes are redefined to make them
different in this universe. The creative team incorporates even less known
characters such as the 1st human torch (not to be confused with Johnny Storm of
the Fantastic Four who eclipsed him in popularity). The Maker’s Council is full
of dangerous individuals such as the Hulk and more.
Teen Tony Stark and Captain America have fresh spins put on these established heroes. Captain America struggles with the fact that America no longer exists as the Maker has split the world into territories which he has given to his people. Most people living in what was America do not even know that America exists since the council has wiped a lot of information from the world. Teen Stark is a more optimistic and sunnier version of Iron Man. There will be a second volume, but that does not have a title or a release date yet. I look forward to reading.

As noted, I read this through the Marvel
Unlimited App. As always, nobody has any expectation of me reviewing
anything.
