I am as excited as hell for the Ultimate Comics Ultimates by Jonathan Hickman and Esad Ribic. From these initial preview pages (after the jump), it looks like Hickman is embracing the epic nature of Mark Millar’s volumes on the title.
What excites me more is that I don’t see that nasty little word anywhere on the cover—volume. When a book is tagged with that word, it just becomes a special event book. Don’t get me wrong—I like me some special events—but the Ultimate Universe can be a really fresh diversion from the regular Marvel U. I’m eager to see a writer like Hickman come in and tell a big, sprawling story, peppered with one-shots and smaller arcs if he feels so inclined.
Ribic’s pages are looking wonderfully dynamic! Iron Man is looking svelte. Nick Fury appears to be modeled less off of Samuel L. Jackson and more off of Tyrese. And is that a bear drinking a beer? I know there’s a joke in there somewhere.
Marvel is pleased to present your first look at Ultimate Comics Ultimates #1, from the critically acclaimed creative team of Jonathan Hickman and Esad Ribic! Iron Man, Hawkeye, Nick Fury & Thor are back together after the monumental events of Ultimate Comics Fallout! One of the biggest villains that ever faced the Ultimate Universe has returned. But with a teammate out of action, can the remaining members save the world as they struggle to find their place in the Ultimate Universe? Ultimate Comics Universe Reborn kicks off this August in Ultimate Comics Ultimates #1!

All you have to say is beer-guzzling bear and I'm sold.
