The Ultimates #10 showcases Camp and Frigeri's talents for crafting a story that not only feels extremely relevant but is willing to dive into present topics and issues impacting our modern world, such as fascism and hate groups. As a result, it never feels dated or out of step but perfectly puts the finger on the pulse of what we are currently living through. Especially for a Big Two comic, this is highly commendable and hopefully widens the eyes of its readers to the roots of the issues surrounding us.  Read Full Review

The Ultimates #10 is easily the best issue of this series thus far. That is accomplished by simply showing the Ultimates operating as a team. It is a simple adjustment from previous issues that goes a long way with everything that is done with the world building of this issue. There are so many great team moments that help elevate the importance Captain America and Human Torch backstory to the story. The revelations made are game changing and leaves you excited to see where the series goes next. Read Full Review

The Ultimates #10 continues the trend of delivering nuanced politics and blockbuster action into the superheroic realm that is rarely seen in the current landscape. Read Full Review

The Ultimates #10 is a sickening turn for the title when the writer transforms a developing team of heroes into a death squad for sentimental and ideological reasons. Deniz Camp's poorly constructed script serves as little more than a platform for his fetish to kill “those people,” only marginally saved by Juan Frigeri's cool art. At this point, Camp may need some kind of intervention. Read Full Review

Plot
Human Torch/JIM HAMMOND reveals to Captain America, Giant Man, Wasp and Hawkeye that he was the one who killed Hitler by melting him with his heat while everyone gathers at a base of the RED SKULLS, a terrorist organization that follows the ideals of the Red Skull.

There is a brilliant explanation of how Hammond has to erase unnecessary memories so that his systems continue to operate well.

Tony Stark helps the team from a distance while they operate on his spine, he needs to keep busy.

Captain America leads the attack, where all the Ultimates are coordinated in their attacks (great ultra violent fight sequences), the objective was to rescue Namor, but they discover that the leader of this organization called GRAND SKULL, has him as a trophy. Namor died years ago in a revolt in Atlantis and Grand Skull has him on display, because Steve and Hammond fought by his side with Bucky.

The Ultimates give Namor a funeral at sea, while Jim Hammond discovers that the voice behind Grand Skull is that of .... BUCKY BARNES!!!

Interesting installment that takes us to a key moment in the past of the Marvel Universe that was terribly modified with painful consequences for Steve Rogers.

Art
It is organic and textured that offers a suitable dynamism and dramatic tone, with certain influences from Manga.

Summary
The Ultimates tried to recruit a new member from the clutches of GRAND SKULL, but in exchange they received disconcerting revelations from the past more

One of the better issues of the run so far.

Pretty solid issue. I liked the idea, the view of the Torch and the ending was pretty surprising.

I admit I don't know the ultimate universe characters but did they always act this way or is it just the fact they don't have their original history thanks the The Maker or is this just a Deniz Camp thing? If this is what passes for heroes in the ultimate universe then The Maker has already won. Cap delighting in killing??? I think this is just Camp's inner wanna-be antifa persona coming out in his writing. It kind of shows in past issues but is full blown here. Seems like the bad guys aren't the only ones with a Punisher fetish here. The good guys seems to ironically lean that way as well. This was not for me.
