Ultimates By Deniz Camp Vol. 1: Fix The World Paperback – February 4, 2025

Great condition

I wanna start this by saying that the book itself feels very high quality, and the colors aren't to dulled or saturated.While this story is a great launchpad for the series and a great start for anyone getting into this universe, it does have one major issue. This volume follows a simple to understand structure: each issue, a new superhero is revealed and added to the team, leading up to an epic battle that takes a surprising turn and leaves me wondering what'll happen to our heroes. The problem with this is that while each issue does a good job of setting up the new addition to the team, we don't see them working alongside the rest of the team much until said climactic battle. I feel the biggest reason people read about teams like The Ultimates/Avengers or X-Men is to see the interactions between said heroes, but we don't get much of that in this volume. To me, it feels more like the Doom & Iron Lad show. Overall, a fantastic continuation of the plot set up in Ultimate Invasion, but I'd like to see them flesh out the team dynamic a bit more!

stories and art are great

a sequel to Ultimate Invasion but not necessary to have read it before you read this one.does a good job balancing an episodic format with a larger plot.

Deniz Camp’s “The Ultimates” wrapped up its first arc in 2024, acting as the unofficial “highway” for the larger “Ultimate” universe at large as it detailed the Ultimates’ ongoing battle against the Maker Council. As ongoing series go, “The Ultimates” was a little bit slower to fully get “going” than “Ultimate Spider-Man” or “Ultimate Black Panther,” with Camp taking his time in escalating the stakes while introducing the full squadron of characters. That being said, Volume 1 did pick up considerably in its final issue, and from the looks of things, it appears that Volume 2 – and Year 2, as a whole – should be ramping up to some very interesting things (including the return of one major villain established way back in “Ultimate Invasion”).So yeah: on the whole, a bit of a mixed bag for me, but still entertaining, and with a strong ending. I’ll be excited to see if Camp can keep the momentum going in Year 2.
