Mar 01, 2026The Ultimates #21 brings the revolution to life. Camp pits De Costa’s propaganda against Cage’s humanity, while Pérez captures the violence in vivid detail. This series is ending too soon. The revolution may not be televised, but it thrives in the pages of The Ultimates. Read Full Review

Weird Science Marvel Comics - mrgabehernandez
Feb 25, 2026Ultimates #21 is a well-oiled machine when it comes to pacing, visual clarity, and structural ambition, and on that level it absolutely does its job as a climactic uprising chapter. The trouble is that the book keeps stepping away from being a story about these characters in this world and instead turns into a pointed lecture about how real-world revolution should look, complete with digs at anyone who still clings to the fantasy of “politics-free” superhero comics. If you are heavily invested in this Ultimate line experiment and comfortable with a comic that functions as a manifesto as much as a narrative, this is a solid pickup; if you are on a tight pull list and looking for balance between theme and character, you can safely treat this as an optional chapter rather than a mandatory purchase.

Plot Luke Cage faces off against a team of Roxxon superhumans, including several X-Men and Avengers. There's a rather interesting, non-speaking version of Deadpool. The end is slowly approaching with the possible fall of The Maker, however, it seems like they're dragging this out a lot. Art Detailed with excellent attention to detail, influenced by comics from the 2000s, but with its own unique style. Summary Luke Cage launches his attack against Maker's resistance.

Lots of exposition. It was fine. Just didn't feel as strong as the last 2 or 3.
