About this listen

The Ultimates - the first government-sponsored cadre of super heroes - was assembled to face threats to humanity too insanely powerful for other operatives to handle. Led by a general who gave an eye in the service of his country, the super-powered roster includes a billionaire playboy in a high-tech suit of armor, a World War II super-soldier whom fate has thrust into the 21st century, an environmentalist icon who claims to be an ancient Norse god, and a scientist whose mutant powers allow her to shrink to the stature of an insect.

But even the Ultimates are unprepared for a quintet of mysterious visitors who appear in the midst of the team's top-security base of operations, claiming to be emissaries from the future. These "Tomorrow Men" say Earth's civilization are at a crossroads - on the verge of enslavement by a secret, immensely efficient organization known in the future as Tiber. Only the Ultimates have the skills and the firepower to ferret Tiber out of its nests around the world and crush its plans for global conquest. But there is much more the Tomorrow Men will not say. After all, they don't want to alter the timeline any more than they have to.

But wealthy Tony Stark, a.k.a. Iron Man, is dying by degrees of an incurable medical condition. For him, the temptation to make an additional change in the timeline may be too great to ignore - even though mankind's future might be damaged in the process.

Entertaining

Very entertaining. Not crazy about another time travel story but this one is still worth the listen for any Marvel fan. And the sound effects are not over the top and do not drown out the performers like some others.

Entertaining

I really liked Marvel’s Ultimate universe. I found it to be a fresh and much appreciated retcon of the creation of Marvel’s superheroes. I loved the way that authors used the reader’s knowledge of the characters in the original Marvel Universe against them, turning heroes to villains and vice versa. So, when I saw this book, I was very hopeful it would be a great book. Unfortunately, it was only entertaining. Nothing about the plot seemed to me to require the Ultimate universe and while an effort was made to ground the cast of the Ultimates in the slight variations that differentiate them from the Avengers, it wasn’t enough to make this book stand out as a standard-bearer for the Ultimate universe.

The basic plot felt a little too typical to me. People from the future come to the Ultimates asking for help in preventing a totalitarian nightmare. The Ultimates are willing to lend their support, but very quickly suspicions arise that things are not precisely as the Tomorrow Men indicate. Tony Stark shines in this one as he seeks to uncover what the future will truly bring and what role the Ultimates should play in bringing it about.
