Speaking to ComicBook, Camp defined how his sequence will construct upon the Ultimates basis beforehand set by Mark Millar and Bryan Hitch’s unique model. As an alternative of preventing extraterrestrial threats and terrorists around the globe, they’re fugitives framed for the homicide of 1000’s again in Final Universe and Final Invasion. Likening them to the Partisans of WWII, Camp known as them “a resistance community in occupied territory. Their standing as outlaws/terrorists means they’re underneath fixed menace.”
Stark’s huge plan to construct a resistance community of superheroes means each situation will likely be one-and-dones that introduce the brand new Final model of a Marvel hero. Past Ant-Man and the Wasp for the inaugural situation, Camp isn’t saying who else is a part of the roster, however he did notice the staff’s acquired an 18-month timetable to construct their ranks and save the world from regardless of the Maker and his Council have gotten cooking up with their very own private Metropolis. Complicating issues additional is Tony himself: as a youthful, “extra idealistic” model of his 616 self, he’ll discover himself pulled in reverse ends by Doom and Captain America.

In that manner the 2 Ultimates will really feel very totally different, however I feel (hope) ours is true to the spirit and the ambition of the unique.”
Progress and “altering the world” is the Ultimates gameplan, one Camp mentioned will make it very differernt from the first Marvel universe. Given free reign, he’s most excited to have the prospect to make one thing of his personal contained in the Marvel sandbox totally different from his earlier contract work. “This feels much more like writing a creator owned e-book,” he mentioned, “albeit one that’s instantly working with traditional Marvel iconography and archetypes. I think about it an actual accountability, and I’m doing my greatest to reside as much as it.”
The Ultimates kicks off its debut situation on June 5.
