Ultimate Comics: Divided We Fall, United We Stand by Luke Ross, Brian Wood, Carlo Barberi, Billy Tan, David Marquez, Sam Humphries, Paco Medina, Brian Michael Bendis
5.0
The United States isn't so united anymore so Captain America stepped-up and did something about it. In return, the citizens of the United States elected him as the new president even though he wasn't even running for candidacy because after all, when your country is at war and the person currently leading the country doesn't seem to do much good, you'll suddenly feel lost. Until Steve Rogers, aka Captain America who's actually doing something about it gives hope to the citizens of America once again. So who wouldn't want him to be the president? At least for the time being.
Meanwhile, Kitty Pride aka Shadowcat from X-men leads a group of mutants to stand -up against the sentinels that are killing mutants which were created by William Stryker. With the help of Nick Fury, ex-director of S.H.I.E.L.D., Kitty and the group of mutant rebels successfully infiltrated the camp the holds up young mutants and together, they successfully defeated the sentinels.
And, there's a new spider-man in town. A thirteen-year old boy named Miles Morales who just started getting used being spidey and have joined the ultimates in protecting the country.

But, those are just some of the highlights of this volume. And to be honest, it was one of Marvel's best one yet. Of course I know that I'm not reading them in chronological order since I was caught a bit off guard that Peter Parker was dead and there was a new spider-man in town. Gwen Stacy is still alive and kicking and Wolverine had a son named Jimmy who's apparently have a thing with Kitty. But the storyline was pretty solid and a lot of interesting new characters as well as new arcs for old characters. Definitely a must read for any Marvel comic book fans out there.
