This Christmas it’s time to catch up with the Ultimates. Its been a long time since the first issue of Ultimates came out in 2002 but the Mark Millar Bryan Hitch run on the book finished this year and now it’s time for you to get all caught up. The book, for those that don’t know is the re-imagining of Captain America, Iron Man and Thor in the modern world, with a very realistic look at how they would operate in current social climates. What would a man lost in world war two feel about society today? Can you call yourself a god and not be looked at like you are crazy? If you had all the money in the world how often would you be sober? These are the types of questions that get brought up in the book and it makes for one of the best comic books that you will ever read.

All the Millar/Hitch issues have been collected into two hardcover books from Marvel comics and are the best way to read this story. They are available through Chapters or through your Local Comic Book Store. Pick them up this year for the Action Movie Lover or Comic Book Noob on your list.
