ULTIMATE COMICS ULTIMATES #19 (February, 2013)
By Sam Humphries & Scot Eaton

APPEARANCES:
Captain America, Iron Man, Black Widow II, Giant-Woman, Invisible Woman, Thor (also in fb), Hela (in fb), Modi (corpse, in fb), Carol Danvers, Nick Fury (as Scorpio, in fb)

FLASHBACK:
Thor brings his dead son to Hela. Nick Fury infiltrates Hydra as Scorpio.
SYNOPSIS:
Captain America is angry when California threatens succession. Meanwhile, Iron Man stops Hydra from attacking a football game. Black Widow promotes Giant-Woman to the Ultimates. Invisible Woman recruits Thor into looking for the remaining Infinity Gems. Black Widow and Carol Danvers tell Captain America that Nick Fury has joined Hydra.

NOTE:
Nick Fury’s disguise look exactly like his Earth-616 counterpart.

Giant-Woman says she had a poster of the Ultimates on her wall when she was growing up, and yet it’s established that the Ultimates have only been around as a public team for less than a year (Peter Parker was Spider-Man for a year before he was killed, and the Ultimates came around after Spider-Man did). I guess Giant-Woman grew up recently.

The Californian governor’s funder explains to the captive Iron Man that California will form its own country once Captain America is out of the way.

NOTE:
This issue notes that Tony Stark has already started distributing the Sentient Seed for the mutant reservation, but the public thought it was destroyed in ULTCXM 22 (April), even though it was a ruse. It’s not ACTUALLY distributed until ULTCXM 29 (September), but that issue notes Captain America is no longer the US President.

FLASHBACK:
Kang frees the Maker while Quicksilver finds another Infinity Gem.
SYNOPSIS:
Kang frees the Hulk while the Ultimates chat about the Infinity Gems. Hulk attacks and steals the gauntlets they’ve attached the Gems to (there are a total of eight Gems, four for each hand). The Maker arrives and he defeats the Ultimates with the Hulk. Kang and Quicksilver arrive, and Kang says they’re going to stop this universe from dying when they get all eight Infinity Gems.

NOTE:
Invisible Woman says she sent messages to Captain Marvel & the Silver Surfer (though I think she meant Silver Searcher; the Searcher was friendly but the Surfer was definitely not), but since we don’t know if they responded or what they’re doing, they’re not -BTS.

By Joshua Hale Fialkov & Carmine di Giandomenico

APPEARANCES:
Maker, Iron Man, Anthony, Thor, Black Widow II, Invisible Woman, Thing, Hawkeye, Kang (also disguised as Captain America), Hulk, Quicksilver

SYNOPSIS:
The Maker announces that the world’s money is now useless and using the mutant reservation seed, food costs nothing. Any nation that opposes him will be eradicated. All in 24 hours. Invisible Woman and Thing attack the Maker. Hawkeye tries to free the captured Captain America, but Kang attacks him. Thor draws out Hulk and starts a fight. Quicksilver attacks Iron Man, apparently killing his sentient brain tumor.

NOTE:
Thing stops glowing and returns to his old rocky self here.

SYNOPSIS:
Maker operates on Tony Stark and explains that his sentient brain tumor was actually an Infinity Gem. Meanwhile, Invisible Woman and Thing think they defeat Maker, but it’s just an extended part of him he was using as a drone. Maker explains that Infinity Gems can be used to stop universes from dying to Tony Stark. Kang reveals she’s keeping Cap and Hawkeye imprisoned in the Negative Zone. Nick Fury introduces Black Widow to his Howling Commandos. Quicksilver attack and defeats Invisible Woman and Thing. Maker turns off Tony Stark’s life support, apparently killing him.

APPEARANCES:

SYNOPSIS:
Thor is dropped off in the Negative Zone prison. Hulk oversees food growth in Africa, then battles terrorists who attack the farms. Kang asks Maker why he killed Tony Stark, then sends Quicksilver on an errand. Tony Stark’s consciousness is downloaded into one of his Iron Man suits. The Howling Commandos fight the Makers robots. Quicksilver brings the comatose Human Torch to the Maker, who rigs the Torch to be remote-controlled, so he can get the last Infinity Gem.

ULTIMATE COMICS ULTIMATES #29 (October, 2013)
By Joshua Hale Fialkov & Carmine di Giandomenico

APPEARANCES:
Quicksilver, Human Torch, Maker, Nick Fury, Black Widow II, Punisher, Falcon, Stature, Dan “Dum Dum” Duggan, Ghost II, Abomination II, Alien, Hercules, Iron Man, Invisible Woman, Thing, Thor, Hawkeye, Captain America, Kang (revealed as a future Invisible Woman)

SYNOPSIS:
Human Torch gets the last Infinity Gem. Iron Man teams up with Nick Fury’s Howling Commandos. Quicksilver questions Kang’s motives and accuses her of wanting to eradicate mutants, so she stabs him in the heart. Quicksilver runs across to the Scarlet Witch’s grave and dies. The heroes meet up and defeat the Maker. Kang gets all the Infinity Gems in one place and reveals herself as a future version of the Invisible Woman.

NOTE:
Scarlet Witch’s grave says “Wanda Maximoff,” but as far as I know she’s only ever been called “Wanda Lensherr” in the Ultimate Universe. I haven’t read any issue of Ultimate X-Men, so I could have missed something, to be fair.

ULTIMATE COMICS ULTIMATES #30 (October, 2013)
By Joshua Hale Fialkov & Carmine di Giandomenico

APPEARANCES:
Kang (also in fb), Maker (also in fb as Mr. Fantastic), Nick Fury, Black Widow II, Punisher, Falcon, Stature, Dan “Dum Dum” Duggan, Ghost II, Abomination II, Alien, Hercules, Iron Man, Invisible Woman, Thing, Thor, Hawkeye, Captain America, Quicksilver (corpse), Hulk, Human Torch, Galactus (Earth-616)

FLASHBACK:
A week after Ultimatum, Kang appears and warns Reed Richards that the universe will end if they don’t change things. She shows him the future she comes from and Reed is shocked to see the future has been eradicated.
SYNOPSIS:
The heroes fight Kang and the Maker. Captain America stops Kang from getting all of the Infinity Gems and passes them on to Iron Man; he uses them to restore himself to his body. When Iron Man uses the gems the Ultimates see glimpses of another universe and the Infinity Gems self-destruct. Kang realizes they missed their chance to avoid the future and leaves to try again. Later, Black Widow sends Nick Fury and his Howling Commandos to Europe to clean things up; the Maker left Europe in chaos. Meanwhile, Invisible Woman visits the Maker in prison and tells him she found readings that say something powerful has entered their universe and is coming toward Earth. Meanwhile in space, Galactus hungers.

NOTE:
Well, poop. Earth-616 Galactus appears here. Speaking of which, this series is over and the story continues in Hunger/Cataclysm, where Earth-616 Galactus eats the Ultimate universe, or something.
