olume #1 in the Ultimates Epic Collections
The visionary introduction of the 21st-century reimagining of the Avengers!
A mutant madman attacked the president of the United States on the White House lawn. A gaudily costumed teen climbs walls in New York City. The old order has fallen, and people are scared. Nick Fury, head of the elite espionage agency known as S.H.I.E.L.D., has a unique solution: put some of these bizarre characters on his payroll! His grand idea: a small but lethal army known as the Ultimates, created to protect us all from the rising threats to mankind! Captain America, Thor, Iron Man, the Hulk, Giant Man and the Wasp assemble — but when the Hulk rampages through NYC, and one member turns on another, is the team doomed from the start? Black Widow, Hawkeye, Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver join the action — and the Ultimates begin to uncover a clandestine alien infiltration of Earth decades in the making!
