AIPT - Collier Jennings
Mar 18, 2026The Ultimates #22 delivers a somber standalone story focused on Captain America, and is a sharp reminder that heroism and villainy are defined by the choices we make. Read Full Review

Comic Watch - Marcell Hines
Mar 18, 2026Ultimates #22 is not only perhaps the strongest issue of these Endgame companions, but maybe one of the strongest issues of the series period. With a heavily emotional script and detailed artwork that grips you from start to finish. Read Full Review

Weird Science Marvel Comics - mrgabehernandez
Mar 18, 2026The Ultimates #22: Stunning art and taut dramatic tensions shine through Frigeri’s dynamic work and Blee’s vivid moods, delivering visceral highs in the brotherly clash that hooks despite its flaws. Yet heavy-handed messaging muddles Bucky beyond “radicalized,” the plot stalls main Maker arc for side-drama, and Cap’s post-fight mercy kill betrays his ideals for unearned shock. This squandered issue prioritizes the writer views over character truth or story basics, failing to justify its slot in any limited stack. Read Full Review

Plot Captain America, Hawkeye, Quicksilver, and Scarlet Witch battle the Grand Skull's army in the long-awaited fight that brings Cap's past to a close. John Walker has also taken up the mantle of Red Skull and warns Steve that the one behind the Grand Skull is a ghost from his past. Steve fights the Grand Skull, only to discover that he is Bucky Barnes, who joined forces with The Maker to cure a terminal illness. The comic shows flashbacks to Bucky and Steve's childhoods, but Bucky's hatred, nurtured during all the years Steve was frozen, became a painful feeling, and Captain America put an end to it. This installment ties up a loose end in this saga and distances itself from the events of Endgame, but it feels somewhat rushed. more
