I just finished The Ultimates 2. Again Marvel's Ultimate series is an out of continuity story that reimagines many of the characters in the Marvel universe. Mark Millar takes a much more realistic approach to the characters and tries to fit them into a more realistic world. One of the examples of that is the design of the iron man suit. Mark always wondered how Tony could fit his nose into the helmet, so he had Bryan Hitch draw him with space for a nose in the helmet. Anyways, in this book no character is safe. The twists, the turns, everyone is a suspect for being a trader. Without spoiling the plot, the Ultimates team battles an international terrorist group of super soldiers, while trying to find out who their own double agent is. Towards the end of the book, there is a beautiful 8 to 10 page pull out drawing of the final epic battle. The art is gorgeous. If you're looking for a change of pace marvel story, check out the Ultimates 2.
