WRITTEN BY WARREN ELLIS PENCILS & COVER BY CARY NORD
It’s the ultimate war between the hulk and iron man! Desperate for a cure to his dark disease, scientist bruce banner begs tony stark for a release from the curse of the hulk! Stark agrees, but in the midst of the experimentation, something goes horribly wrong. And you know what happens next: man and monster collide! Be there as writer Warren Ellis (ultimate galactus) begins his next ultimate epic—and is joined by amazing artist Cary Nord (conan)!
"Man, Warren Ellis would’ve been SUCH a great choice to take over ‘Ultimates’. He’s the type of writer that really excels under the Ultimate umbrella, able to reinvent superheroes into something he’s more comfortable with, dropping the costumes and secret clubs for something a little more in line with Alan Moore’s ‘science heroes’ version of character types. For this ‘built for Ellis’ series, crazy smart-guy Bruce Banner asks drunk smart-guy Tony Stark to eliminate the Hulk side of him, and Tony’s good intentions lead to things going off the rails almost immediately. Elsewhere, we get the Ellis-designed intros of both Ultimate Leader and (naturally) Ultimate Pete Wisdom. A terrific combination of science theory, action, characterization and a little thing I like to call ‘not being a muddled, god-awful mess’, Ultimate Human positions itself as a great alternative to Ultimates 3."
