As Marvel moved into the new millennium, the company made another - far more successful - attempt at revamping their core characters for a new generation. | With Ultimates mainstay writers Brian Michael Bendis and 2000AD's Mark Millar, these re-energised versions of the Marvel characters have broken sales records over the last five years. | Spurred, perhaps, by the success of Marvel's Ultimates series, DC engaged Jim Lee to give Batman and Superman a new lick of paint, with great commercial success. | ||||
Ultimate Spider-Man 1 (2000) From these beginnings, Marvel has applied the Ultimates formula to The Avengers, SHIELD and Fantastic Four. |
Ultimate X-Men 1 (2001) With many artists working on the Ultimates series, it has been left largely to writers Bendis and Millar to hold the project together with a common vision. |
Batman 608 (2003) Both the revised titles have broken sales records during their run. (Hover your cursor over the cover above to see Lee's first Superman cover). |
