  <default_description>A teenager is climbing walls in Manhattan.  Mutants are attacking the White House.  Nick Fury, head of the elite espionage agency known as S.H.I.E.L.D., knows the only way to combat these strange new threats is with a team of hisown superhumans.  Backed by a billion-dollar budget, Fury recruits Giant Man, the Wasp, Iron Man, Captain America and Thor.  And while the team is strong enough to engage in a ferocious battle with the Hulk, will they implode under the weight of their internal conflicts?  Rising above their own agendas, the Ultimates forge ahead with the introduction of new allies and face a major global threat.   Collects THE ULTIMATES VOL.1: SUPER-HUMAN and THE ULTIMATES VOL. 2: HOMELAND SECURITY.   PLUS: A hefty helping of DVD-Style extras!</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[The greatest comic book movie ever is actually a comic book.  This volume updates the Avengers franchise for the 21st century, incorporating the &quot;widescreen&quot; action style pioneered a few years back on &quot;The Authority&quot; to a new government backed superteam including many of the bigg...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/11704864">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[An interesting re-imagining of the Avengers.  The Ultimate Universe of Marvel Comics in general plays off the characters being in a less &quot;comic booky&quot; world, and tries to ground them in reality.  So instead of all powerful Norse god Thor, we get, possibly schizophrenic, thinks he's a Norse...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/29941435">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This, you'll enjoy even if you don't like comics.  The fights are gigantic, and Thor is a hippie, which is funny.  It's a reinvention of the Avengers, so it's familiar characters, and it's interesting to find how much I like Cap now than I did when I read in the 80s.<br/><br/>This was good enough ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/32016541">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I'm biased towards simple reboots- sometimes I confuse my gratitude at understanding what's going on with actual enjoyment. So I liked this, because it was simple and straightforward, but I also recognize that it's sort of bland and basic. And I bet if you're attached to these characters it burns a ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/22540052">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Millar dates his material too much. I mean c'mon with the &quot;who's gonna play me in the movie&quot; lines. It totally seems like Millar is hoping this is the script for an Ultimates movie. Kinda lame premise for the Hulk to be the first battle since he's supposedly on the team. Interesting ending...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/22100646">more...</a>]]></body>
