First Look: ULTIMATE COMICS ULTIMATES #16 [Spoilers]

One thing the Ultimate Universe is known for is being able to do big things that you would never see in the regular Marvel Universe. We've seen major deaths (with many of them actually sticking) and stories go in places you'd never expect. This is one of those stories. What happens in ULTIMATE COMICS ULTIMATES this week is something we've thought about often but now it's actually going to happen and it won't be a WHAT IF--? story.

Issue #15 is out this week followed by issue #16 next week.

The people have spoken—and tomorrow Steve Rogers, the man known as Captain America, becomes President Elect of the United States of America! InUltimate Comics Ultimates #15, from rising star writer Sam Humphries and fan-favorite artist Billy Tan, Captain America’s made his dramatic return and publically saved America from an insidious new enemy in one of his most harrowing battles yet. But when all the dust settles, Steve Rogers is about to get the biggest surprise of his life—he’s won the special election for the Presidency via write-in! What does this mean for his future as Captain America? Can he be a President who fights on the frontlines?

“This is one of those stories that could only be told in the Ultimate Comics Universe, where the only rule is simple—there are no rules.” said Axel Alonso, Editor in Chief, Marvel Entertainment. “We’ve seen Captain America fight wars and battle super villains, but running a country is a whole new challenge—but don’t worry, this isn’t about political speeches and closed door meetings. This is exactly the kind of high-octane, super powered thrill ride you’d expect from a book called The Ultimates!”

Then next week, in Ultimate Comics Ultimates #16, Humphries and artist Luke Ross, Steve Rogers accepts the position of President of The United States- and not a moment too soon! A deadly villain with a personal tie to the Ultimates is about to enact his endgame, one which promises to leave no hero unscathed. Now Captain America must find a way to safeguard this country both as a President and as a super hero—but can he do both?
