slow clap to Jonathan Hickman for making Howard Stark interesting for the first time in his existence.

Building out this new ultimate universe. I like some major changes like Howard Stark being a major figure, but trying to figure out the end game here.

chatting in a room

The world is run by conspiracies, as usual in a Hickman comic, and everyone speaks platitudes in italics. Again as usual for Hickman we get a fantasy battle map. It looks gorgeous, some of Hitch’s best work in years, but most of the scenes are pretty static.

I wouldn’t call this issue bad, more like it has too much substance and not enough style for me. Hickman is obviously saying a lot about this universe and is clearly doing a lot of setup, but not enough dominoes are falling fast enough for me to say I’m completely engaged.

No es que ahora se vea más claro lo que se tiene planteado con este trampantojo del "retorno" del Universo Ultimate. Pero sí que al menos ya podemos seguir una línea más clara gracias a este Howard Stark enterándose de cómo funciona realmente este "Battleworld" menos caótico y más enraizado en un ambiente geopolítico meditado. Pero, claro, el Hacedor bien puede ser la mente maestra del Multiverso o un agente del Caos... Pero la presencia de esa nueva variante de uno de los grandes personajes del Universo Marvel solo hace dudar de qué nos deparará el próximo número.

Ultimate Invasion #3
This issue sees the consequences of The Maker’s universe begin to unfold, especially with the rise of new versions of familiar characters like Howard Stark and a young Tony. The philosophical tension ramps up, questioning whether power used for control can ever be just. The worldbuilding is impressive, but the emotional connection to characters is still building.

This issue kinda just lost me, I feel like all the moments the factions from different parts of the world were talking in the room just dragged on, like nothing was really getting done or said. A decent issue but not great. Cool reveal at the end though.

What are we doing here

[Raymond Paquette · Rating 3 out of 5]

A lot of stuff happening showcasing the stupidity of the super hero world. I agree 100%

[Ryan Hochstatter · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a certified geopolitics moment.

Great Storyline

I enjoyed the storyline. I can see how easily the theme and plot can transition into a movie. Looking forward to the next issue.
