Marvel’s revamped Ultimate Universe is on the verge of an exciting development featuring a spectacular new iteration of the Guardians of the Galaxy. As the Ultimates embark on their mission to rescue Earth-6160 from the clutches of the Secret Council, intriguing mysteries unfold regarding the fate of the galaxy. Armed with a powerful new ally from the distant future, these guardians are set to elevate the stakes in their cosmic adventures.
According to a report by AIPT Comics, Marvel has shared fresh details about a significant addition to the Guardians. The recently unveiled preview for The Ultimates #8, crafted by Deniz Camp and artist Juan Frigeri, introduces us to the core team members who play pivotal roles in their ongoing saga.
This new lineup, which includes variants of Star-Lord, Captain Marvel, the Ultimate Nullifier, and Cosmo, arrives from the 61st century, having navigated myriad cosmic challenges previously unseen in the Ultimate Universe. Their quest leads them to the 21st century, where they seek to save America Chavez from the dire realities created by the Maker.
America Chavez Joins the Guardians of the Galaxy
Previously, America Chavez was thought to be the only version of her character in the Multiverse until The Ultimates #2. America’s unique origins place her outside traditional multiversal constraints; born beyond the multiverse and raised on Earth-616, her experiences, depicted throughout her journeys with the Young Avengers, further solidify her singular narrative within Marvel’s expansive realm. However, the introduction of this new version of America reveals complexities that delve deeper into her layered history as both a hero and a figure of immense potential.
As the Ultimate Guardians of the Galaxy make their exciting entrance in The Ultimates #8, they dramatically crash land in the present, intent on finding one of their oldest friends. Surprisingly, America Chavez is at the center of this quest as the heroes are determined to accelerate her transition into the Guardians’ fold. In a recent interview with Marvel, writer Deniz Camp expressed his enthusiasm:
“Issue eight introduces the Ultimate Guardians of the Galaxy, and I hope readers enjoy meeting the heroes of the future as much as I enjoyed writing them! It’s our most cosmic issue to date, exploring the life and death of universes within 20 pages and unveiling new aspects of the Ultimate Universe through Ultimate America Chavez, who has quickly become a favorite of mine.”
The Guardians of the Galaxy’s Role in the Modern Era
Which Team Will America Choose?
Given America’s rich and tumultuous history, her integration into the present-day team holds the promise of revitalizing her heroic journey. Following a traumatic period at the hands of Midas, where her past and memories have become hazy visions of alternate futures, America’s emerging role as a Guardian is poised to redefine not only her identity but also that of the team. Her presence is likely to inspire fresh cosmic narratives that include her formidable abilities and resilience.
Furthermore, America’s connection with the Ultimates will persist for the foreseeable future. She’s expected to reappear in additional issues beyond The Ultimates #8, ensuring her narrative continues to intertwine with both the Ultimates and the Guardians of the Galaxy. As America’s epic journey unfolds across the cosmic landscape, readers can look forward to the unfolding dynamics of her dual allegiances.
The Ultimates #8 is set to launch on January 1, 2025, from Marvel Comics.
