This new Ultimates series picks up one year after the other left off. Thor has left the team; Pym, now Ant-Man, is on the outs with the team; and Iron Man and Black Widow are in love. Plus, Loki is still making a nuisance of himself and Bruce Banner is placed on trial for crimes he committed as the Hulk.

If you've read the original Ultimates you already know that nearly every character is kind of a shitty person in some way. Mark Millar is awesome at making that happen. Growing up in the seventies, I looked to superheroes as paragons of goodness. In my pre-pubescent mind, they were. As an adult I know that morals vary from reader to reader, but I think everyone needs their version of good people in at least a portion of their entertainment. I'm not sure that good people are often available.
Having said all that, shitty people do make for page turning. Even thought I feel worse about the world, I have to say the story is compelling.
