ULTIMATES #1 .html cover by bryan hitch mark millar (w)/bryan hitch (p)/andrew currie (i) • THE SCOOP: The dream team of Mark Millar (ULTIMATE X-MEN) and BryanHitch (The Authority) unleash the fourth title in the red-hot Ultimate line! • THE STORY: A mutant madman attacked the President of the UnitedStates on the White House lawn. A gaudily-costumed teen climbs walls in New YorkCity. The strange beings who've appeared overnight are here to stay. The oldorder has fallen and people are scared. Nick Fury, head of the elite espionageagency known as S.H.I.E.L.D., has a unique solution: put some of these bizarrecharacters on his payroll! His grand idea: a small but lethal army known as TheUltimates, created to protect us all from the newly rising threats to mankind!Among those considered for membership: Iron Man, a jet-flying, limousine-riding,publicity-seeking capitalist with both a self-made confidence and a personalassault suit; Giant-Man, a Prozac-popping scientist with an inferiority complexas large as his stature; The Wasp, a petite powerhouse with a sordid secret; TheHulk, a brilliant, gentle man who's addicted to letting his inhibitions go andtearing everything - and everyone - he loves apart; Captain America, a soldierwith John Glenn's buzz-cut cool, John McCain's style of politics, and MikeTyson's right cross; and Thor, a New Age guru who may either be the living sonof a Norse god... or a lunatic with a big hammer. • THE WRITER SPEAKS: "In a broad sense, this book is about thegreatest heroes of our time getting together to defend the world," explainedMillar. "However, that's also the high-concept for the JLA and pretty much everysuper-team book on the stands. What we have to do here is re-think everythingwe've ever taken for granted about super hero comics and throw away all of theclichés and formulas. This series (as well as the Ultimate line ingeneral) has to feel as different from traditional comic books as Stan Lee'svision was to Golden Age DC." • THE FORMAT: This debut issue is 32 pages, with ads. Each issue ofthis ongoing monthly series will be printed on glossy paper, with a cardstockcover.
