As a seasoned gamer with a penchant for comic book lore, I can hardly contain my excitement for the new Ultimate Guardians of the Galaxy! Having delved deep into the cosmos of Marvel’s universe, both on and off the screen, I must say that this fresh take on our favorite spacefaring heroes is nothing short of electrifying.
In January, a fresh team of Guardians of the Galaxy will be introduced in the Marvel Universe known as the Ultimate Universe. This marks the second year for Marvel’s revamped Ultimate Universe, where readers have been introduced to fresh interpretations of their beloved superheroes and villains. Known as The Ultimates, these characters represent Earth’s Mightiest Heroes in the Ultimate Universe, and they’ve been gathering over the past while, preparing for The Maker’s return from his exile. However, they’ve faced challenges from The Maker’s evil Council along the way. The Ultimates comic series has progressively unveiled new yet recognizable heroes, and now it’s delving into cosmic adventures with the Ultimate Guardians of the Galaxy.
In January 2025, Marvel unveiled its solicitations for the Ultimate imprint, featuring issue #8 of Ultimates penned by Deniz Camp and Juan Frigeri. The cover art by Frigeri offers a sneak peek into the membership of the Ultimate Guardians of the Galaxy. Although these characters share names with those from the main Marvel Universe, they have distinct appearances. Hailing from the future, the Guardians are on a mission to find America Chavez, who has recently joined the Ultimates. It’s possible that America Chavez was once a member of the Guardians herself and got lost in time, prompting them to return for her. The upcoming storyline seems to involve the Guardians lending their assistance to the Ultimates as they confront the Maker together.
Who are Marvel’s Ultimate Guardians of the Galaxy?
In simpler terms, we have a character resembling Star-Lord but bald and monk-like, a Captain Marvel who seems to be a Kree, a figure resembling Ultimate Nullifier or Marvel Boy, and everyone’s beloved cosmic dog, Cosmo. A design sketch by artist Juan Frigeri offers a closer look at this group of advanced space heroes reminiscent of the future. Star-Lord here appears similar to his characterization during Peter Quill’s run in ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’, where he was titled “Master of the Sun” and explored both his powers and personal aspects such as sexuality while lost in an alternate universe.
The Captain Marvel character puts on a Kree spacesuit, showcasing her short, vibrant red hair and blue skin. The Ultimate Nullifier character stands out visually with two Ultimate Nullifier weapons in hand, somewhat resembling Star-Lord’s Element Guns. His torso seems to be composed of dark cosmic material, as mentioned earlier, and his facial features echo Marvel Boy’s. Lastly, Cosmo remains a golden retriever with an artificial leg.
What is Ultimates #8 about?
In this issue, it’s America Chavez who steps into the limelight when a band of explorers from a distant, Maker-absent reality make an appearance, seeking her out!
Originating from a distant time, the latest incarnation of Guardians includes Star-Lord, Captain Marvel, Ultimate Nullifier, and Cosmo. These cosmic champions have traversed both time and space in search of their lost comrades. The knowledge they possess about the universe’s concealed past could be crucial for the Ultimates’ quest to defeat the Maker!
The objective we aimed for when working on Ultimates was not only to narrate full-fledged stories in each issue, but also to develop (or redevelop) characters intriguing enough to spark readers’ imagination and potentially support a series of their own. According to Ultimates writer Deniz Camp, the success of this endeavor is ultimately for the readers to judge, but the response thus far has been exceptionally heartwarming. I am deeply thankful for it and strive to live up to it.
In this eighth installment, we present the Supreme Guardians of the Galaxy, a team I’m excited for readers to get acquainted with! Writing these future heroes was an absolute joy. This issue is our most space-themed yet, as it delves into the struggle for survival across multiple universes in just 20 pages. It also offers fresh perspectives on the Ultimate Universe, focusing on Ultimate America Chavez, a character I’ve grown quite fond of.
