"Can Nick Fury pick up the pieces of his broken team? Iron Man, Thor, Hawkeye, and the Ultimates are the world's premier super-team, assembled to combat global threats. And right now the greatest danger is Reed Richards' Children or Tomorrow, who stand poised to reshape the Earth in their image. Faced with a new world order, the Ultimates and S.H.I.E.L.D. suddenly find themselves in the crosshairs-- of their own governement! But with S.H.I.E.L.D. out of play, the govern'ement's contingency plan might prove more dangerous than the threat it's meant to counter-- especially when it involves unleashing the Hulk!" -- p.
