Along with Brian Michael Bendis, Mark Millar has been one of the key writers for Marvel Comics in the 21st century. After proving himself in the ’90s as a talent to watch while writing for DC Comics and the UK comic 2000AD, his arrival to Marvel came at a time when Ultimate Spider-Man had just shot up the sales charts. It was in this environment that Millar made his first major contribution to Marvel with Ultimate X-Men, as Millar integrated forty years’ worth of X-Men history, characters and lore into a solid two-year run, making the companion title to Ultimate Spider-Man every bit the creative and commercial success. Next up was The Ultimates, a new rendering of the Avengers that was to continue building on the success of the Ultimate line. He and artist Bryan Hitch pulled it all off in spades: The Ultimates and its sequel, Ultimates 2, were ensconced at the top of the sales charts every month; what’s more, they were critical successes, as well. Meanwhile, Millar was invited to enter the regular Marvel Universe to take a stab at two of its most iconic characters: Spider-Man and Wolverine. Paired with industry heavyweights to draw his stories — Terry Dodson on Marvel Knights Spider-Man and John Romita Jr. on Wolverine — Millar brought the same fast-paced and cleverly constructed plots with which his Ultimate fans were already familiar. Amid building a small library of Millarworld indie comic books — including the titles Chosen and Wanted, the latter of which was turned into a Hollywood blockbuster starring Angelina Jolie — he managed to write Civil War, the epic seven-issue miniseries that definitively reshaped the landscape of Marvel’s heroes. Kick-A**, a Marvel Icon project done in tandem with John Romita Jr., made an impressive impact on the sales chart before also being adapted for a major motion picture. In addition, Millar has reunited with Civil War artist Steve McNiven in both the pages of Wolverine and their creator-owned book Nemesis.

Red Skull is shown as a truly frightening villain, a depiction that you will never, ever forget. The Avengers “black ops” division is also incredibly interesting. It’s the sort of dysfunctional personalities that the Suicide Squad wishes they could be. I won’t give any spoilers, but just when I thought it couldn’t get any more morally tricky, I have to admit that Red Skull’s monologue at the end really pulled at my heartstrings. Thankfully Nick Fury’s response woke me up, so I won’t make the mistake of ever feeling any emotions ever again (ever). The art is incredible too.
Jeez I miss this era of comics so bad.

5.0 out of 5 stars Millar and Pacheco = BRILLIANT!!!
Reviewed in the United States on February 18, 2011

I really don't understand the negative reviews. Minimum, this is a 4 star title. Even if you felt the story was only worth 3 stars, the artwork should bump it up at least to 4. I personally think this is a 5 star story. The artwork is just a sweet bonus! Millar is sharp and on point with the dialogue as usual, with the story racing along at a break-neck pace. When things slow down, they do so at the right moments and serve as excellent character development.

The stunning art of Pacheco is, in my opinion, his best work to date. Everything is so cinematic, it felt like I was party to a brilliant, high-octane action/thriller summer blockbuster movie. The fight scenes are intense and believable, while still achieving that ultra-cool Transporter trilogy-type feel. The plot is relatively simple, yet effectively woven throughout the book. Everything about this book reeks of greatness. I also want to give a shout out to the colorist Justin Ponsor. Well done my friend. I'd rate his work on this book right up there with the greats like Dave Stewart and Paul Mounts. The colors really pop and add an extra dimension to Carlos' pencils. The inkers, by the way, did a bang-up job too.

I got this book in TPB first, and after seeing and reading it, I quickly ordered it in Hardcover format. Believe me, it's well worth it. One last thing I have to say is that I would be remiss if I didn't admit that, as others have pointed out, this is mostly a Captain America story. I happen to dig Cap, so I was hyped to find that out. But, even though the story revolves around Cap, the supporting cast, particularly Hawkeye, play pivotal and just plain fun roles that bring the story to life. And you should also know that these are not the Ultimates or the Marvel 616 Universe Avengers here. Cap, Hawkeye, and Fury are the only members of the classic lineup from The Ultimates team. This team is named "Project:Avengers". Cap isn't part of the team - he's being hunted by them for finding out something he never knew, and his knowledge of this info and the action he takes may jeopardize the Avengers' mission. Fury runs this new team, which he calls his "death squad"(although Cap is not the one they are aiming to kill - they just want to subdue him so that he's out of the way). Aside from Hawkeye, the rest of the team is completely new and fresh. This new team of what basically amounts to highly skilled/superpowered mercenaries gives the book an element of dark, edgy, suspenseful violence. The black ops angle is really played up. And it works. The contrast between the darker story elements and vivid, bold and colorful artwork creates a sumptuous read that you will want to read again as soon as you finish it! 5 stars. Definitely 5 stars. Now that's entertainment!

3.0 out of 5 stars Ultimate Captain America
Reviewed in the United States on October 23, 2010

Mark Millar's Ultimate universe Captain America is one of the high points in modern comics. This story is a Captain America story with some incidental development of the Avengers storyline. In an echo of an early Stan Lee/Jack Kirby Avengers story where Cap goes AWOL from the Avengers to deal with Zemo, Cap goes spectacularly off the reservation here to some good effect, reestablishing that as Captain America, Steve Rogers has duties and responsibilities that transcend his loyalty to the Avengers.

If you like Millar's previous Ultimates work, this is more in that vein focused more tightly on Steve Rogers. Steve engages in some conduct that would not have been approved by the Hayes Office that once controlled film morals, but it is entirely in line with common adult experiences during WWII and in no way diminishes the characters. The treatment of the Ultimate Red Skull is a bit challenging, I would have left the Skull closer to the traditional character and built this concept around a different Cap villain because this story effectively blocks an Ultimates treatment of the great Simon/Kirby character as written in the 40s. For me, there would be another star if the cosmic cube were not involved. The cube is critical to make this treatment work, and has been entangled with the Skull for over 40 years, but the device is on my short list of least favorite comic book tropes. Go ahead and tack it back on if you are a cube-ophile.

The story is well paced, juxtaposes Ultimate Caps' odd mix of sentimentality and ruthless tactical genius with a very cynical view of American governmental power mechinations, and is massively more satisfying as a story than the usually 100 comic Darkest Siege/Zombie Crisis company-wide set piece gimmick event.

5.0 out of 5 stars The start of a new era for Nick Fury and his new black ops team!

Not to be confused with the Avengers from, say, the movies. In the Ultimate Marvel Universe, the Avengers from the main Marvel Universe (Thor, Iron Man, Captain America, Giant-man, The Wasp, etc.) are known as the Ultimates. Ultimate Comics: Avengers tells the story of Nick Fury's Avengers, a government-sponsored black ops team that does S.H.I.E.L.D.'s dirty work. This is an entertaining, edge-of-your-seat thriller that starts off with Cap going rogue for a reason I won't spoil, and the situation only goes downhill from there. Happy reading!

5.0 out of 5 stars Dark, violent and exciting stuff!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 14, 2010

Surprisingly dark, this wonderful little Superhero book. It seems somewhat darker than Mr Millar's previous work on the Ultimates (although, of course, this is more a tale of the Ultimate universe's version of The Avengers). Gripping, too; a thoroughly engaging superhero thrill ride that has a very mature flavour to it, though I'm sure it can be appreciated by many an age, especially as many teen readers love a touch of the old uber violence (I know I did when I was a young 'un!).

The villain of the piece is the Ultimate universe's version of the Red Skull, and I don't want to give anything away here but he is far more connected to this Steve Rogers (Captain America) than the one in the standard Marvel universe. The Red Skull here is pretty much a deranged, Joker-esque psychopath (only without the quips) and, after some self-mutilation, looks rather splendidly nasty and, all in all, is a fine dark mirror image of the honourable (though terribly un-PC at times) Captain America.

The story thunders along at a fine pace, pulling the reader along with it. It concerns a Captain America who has gone rogue when he hears of the existence of the Red Skull and his horrible past, and the two plot strands of S.H.I.E.L.D. sending the Avengers to both pull Cap in and also deal with the Red Skull (who leaves a trail of eviscerated bodies behind him) are finely woven together. There are powerful revelations and also some dark and disturbing moments (the back-story of Red Wasp is gut-wrenchingly devastating and very, very adult comic fare). Nicely enough, Captain America does have a very strong role within this book, and he naturally comes across as a very able soldier and survivor, but many other characters shine through too and, thankfully, along with the brilliant but bleak moments, there is also some of that trademark dry wit that Mr Millar is so good at writing, especially with the introduction of the you-can't-help-but-love-him Nerd Hulk.

A HUGE mention, of course, should also go to the absolutely wonderful artwork by Carlos Pacheco. This is dramatic, superbly detailed stuff and I found myself delighting in many a panel and imagining them blown up and placed on some gleaming gallery wall. Mr Pacheco's work stands as a great tribute to the sterling work done by Bryan Hitch on the original Ultimates series and he is, most definitely, a worthy successor.

If you like the work of Mark Millar, particularly his more adult stuff such as  Kick Ass  or  Wolverine: Old Man Logan , then I cannot recommend this enough. You might want to try out his original  The Ultimates  stories first, though, as this does follow on from them. But, even as a standalone piece it shines. It really shines!

I've only recently started reading graphic novels. I've always been a long form fiction reader, but artwork has never been of interest to me, even when I was young. This has an excellent story and kept me entertained. I can't judge the art, I have no eye for it.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not your fathers Avengers, that’s for sure...
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 25, 2020

Mark Millar is a bit of a marmite writer, people love him or hate him. He writes his books like a Jerry Bruckheimer movie, all huge explosions, in your face action and characterisation, and a total lack of subtlety. This approach doesn’t work for all characters, but does work for Wolverine, which Millar has written great runs on, and for the Ultimates books. Having a varied taste in comics I quite like Millar’s approach, though he does overstep the mark sometimes and shout for the sake of shouting, which he does in this book.
Don’t get me wrong, overall this is a good read, like watching a widescreen Summer movie, but at times he overwrites the violence and dialogue, and we get a great midnight spoilt slightly by a pointless villain semi-rehabilitation.
The art throughout is superb, Pacheco doing a superb job on these characters especially in the action sequences, and the final product from both is merely good, when it could have been great.
I would recommend though.

I think once the Ultimate line went to its "Second Phase" or whatever it is it really lost its mojo. Mark Millar couldn't save what basically is an okay story which is not as necessary to have as a part of one's collection unless one has a real predetermination to read "Ultimate" Comics (the only one that would justify such devotion would be Ultimate Comics Spider Man where Bendis does what Bendis does best: write great stories with kids as the main protagonists, with apologies to his great work in "Daredevil" and "All New X Men").
