The Ultimates Comic: Inspiration for The Avengers Movie


A shortened version of the Avengers Trailer that plays at the end of Captain America has been released on Yahoo! Movies. Screenshots can be found at Superherohype. With that we've gotten our first actual look at scenes from the upcoming Avengers movie. Coupled with the 7 Avengers character posters that Marvel has released, I must say I'm really liking the look of things to come.

But before all this, there was a comic book series called "The Ultimates". Created by Mark Millar and Bryan Hitch as a brand new take on the Avengers, set in a more realistic world. With Hitch's "cinematic" panels and layout,  it provided many comic book readers a glimpse of what an Avengers movie might actually look like. I highly recommend anyone who hasn't read it to do so.

Well with the images from the Avengers trailer and poster, lets just see how many of the characters were influenced by their Ultimates counterparts.
