This was my very first Marvel story I have ever read. Until this point I had only read DC characters. (Mainly because the Green Lantern is my favorite character.) The Ultimates is an non-canon Avengers story. This is story of each of the Avengers characters but with different spin. Having loved the Avengers movie, I read that this was a very fun story involving the Avengers. Captain America is still a man out of time, Thor is a hippy, Tony Stark is more selfless, Hank Pym and his wife have marital issues. This avengers (or Ultimates) is more grounded in reality. There is no past continuity that you need to know to jump into this book. This is truly a Hollywood style comic book. Nick Fury looks like Samuel L. Jackson, there is a huge alien invasion, and the art is fantastic. If you are looking to get your feet web in the comic world, or Marvel world, and really liked the Avengers movie, look no further. This book will get you hooked.
