Ultimates by Deniz Camp Vol. 1: Fix The World

A good start to this incarnation of the Ultimates. Good story and great artwork. I like the outlaw style Avengers/Ultimates.Iron Lad is on a mission to fix the world with Doom at his side. Realising what the maker has fine by robbing countless heroes of their destiny and taking over the world. They are recruiting, but it is not going well as the heroes are a broken as the world. Despite this, they are making loud statements, but what happens when they come to the notice of the higher echelon of the Makers' council.Is the world too broken yo fix? Does the rag tag group have a chance? Who will stand with them, and who will fall. A very good start. I am interested to see what happens next. The book finishes with a varient covers gallery and a character design sketchbook.

Book starts off well, trying to world build following Ultimate Invasion but it is largely rushed and under explored- we see for example the heroes diacover the original human torch, who never speaks, receives no back story and only appears in one panel afterwards.Most disappointing is that the book falls into the trap of so many Marvel books of putting message over story- the entire second half the book is spent telling the reader how awful white people are or how evil capitalism is. It's clichee and dull and especially disappointing considering how Ultimate Spider-man got it so right and how the original 'Ultimates' books by Millar was able to weave politics, action and story together so well.Art is generally pretty good with occasional drops in quality.
