5.0 out of 5 stars Marvel comics don't get better than this 19 Aug 2011
By J Witts
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
The Ultimates brings The Avengers (Iron Man, Captain America, Hulk and Thor) to the Ultimate Marvel universe and the result is one of the best titles Marvel have ever published in my opinion.

This book reboots the Avengers and starts right from the beginning, so no knowledge of the original Marvel universe is needed. What Mark Millar and Bryan Hitch have achieved here is really quite awesome, reading like a big-budget Hollywood movie. The characters and plot are grounded in real world settings and much more believable than the original Avengers. Yes, its a story about super heroes who dress up in crazy costumes but none the less it has a realistic, gritty quality which is quite amazing considering the subject. Millar has managed to give the characters real depth and Hitch's artwork has a photo-realistic quality rarely seen in comics.

Whether you are already a fan of Marvel or you're someone looking to try comics for the first time then you really can't do much better than this.

Brilliant.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ultimate 18 Oct 2012
By Galsa
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Having read up on the Ultimates: Ultimate Collection before buying, I was concerned that it would follow the same course as the ultimate avengers one and two animated films. However, much to my satisfaction, the animated films are only loosely based on this book and so the storyline felt fresh and captivating.

Although there is not as much action as would be expected from a book of this title, the story more then makes up for it making the whole experience well worth the read. There are even a few cheesy jokes. If you are into marvel in general and enjoy the avengers characters then this book is well worth it. If you are into good artwork and story telling then again this book is worth the price.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent for comic newcomers 12 Dec 2011
Format:Paperback
I've used this book to succesfully introduce a half dozen people to comic books, so that's the context I'll recommend it in. This story takes the flagship characters of Marvel's biggest superteam, the Avengers, and introduces new, modern versions of them. This means that you don't need to know any back story or comic trivia to get the most out of this book. It also doesn't hurt that Bryan Hitch's art style tends to be clear and dynamic, which makes action sequences easy to follow. It reads quite like the type of Hollywood blockbuster that the Avengers will soon appear in. If you arrived on this page AFTER seeing that movie, then the characters might be a little different with the ones you saw on-screen. However, don't let that put you off, as this book (and it's sequel) were a major influence on the recent Marvel movies.

And, for the handful of existing comic fans that haven't read this, you absolutely should too.
