Second series dedicated to the Ultimates.
The final battle begins: Hulk kills Abomination, Captain America kills his Middle Eastern counterpart, and all Ultimate superheroes join the battle, including the Giant Man version of the Wasp.
In the end, only Loki remains, who finally reveals his Asgardian origin, but to stop the god, Thor returns.
The grand finale is approaching, pleasantly.

Final miniseries with the arrival of Galactus.
While most of the Ultimates are busy stopping the Moon-Dragon clones, Xavier and Reed prepare to stop Gah Lak Tus.
Charles Xavier uses the collective mind of humanity to threaten the alien (a trick already used in one of the first X-men stories of the classic Marvel universe).
Reed Richards uses the Big Bang energy of a newborn alternate Universe to 'shoot' Gah Lak Tus: the shot destroys only 20% of the alien, but it is enough to make it retreat.
Nick Fury entrusts Vision with information on how they stopped the Eater of Worlds in order to prepare his next victims.
Disappointing last chapter, with solutions copied by other authors for the defeat of Galactus. The altruism displayed in the finale by Nick Fury is absolutely foreign to the character.
