It's with New Ultimates, not Ultimatum, that the Ultimates return to work for SHIELD


* InternalDeconstruction: The series takes a turn to pick apart why a modernized, government-run version of the Avengers would not work out in the long run. The Ultimates are repeatedly criticized for overstepping their boundaries and interfering in international matters at the behest of the United States government. As tensions rise, all of it culminates in the other governments finally having enough of America's actions and sending in their own team of super soldiers to take over the country. To make it even more obvious, the Colonel's motivations for leading the charge are directly compared to Captain America's, making Cap realize how little business he, the Ultimates, and SHIELD had in policing the world. The volume even ends on the implications that in the ruins of the Ultimates, the team is going to reform into an incarnation much closer to the mainstream Avengers. Until ''ComicBook/{{Ultimatum}}'' happened, that is.
