The Rundown: As the Ultimates continue their strikes against the powerful, the elites reveal an unexpected alliance.
Captain America and Hawkeye prepare to take down a Roxxon plant, but Steve is worried they might be walking into a trap. Undeterred, Hawwkeye decides to go in anyway as the CEO of Roxxon and other members of the billionaire class meet to discuss the Ultimates problem and what they have lost. Losses that will facilitate calling in help from Emma Frost who has her own way of dealing with the Ultimates.
As Cap and Hawkeye take down the troops protecting the facility, the billionaires watch as Emma shows them what the two heroes are up against. Cap and Hawkeye find themselves facing down the combined power of a young Pietro and Wanda who have been trained by Emma to destroy.
The Story: Camp continues to delight and surprise with every reveal in this series. I love the gathering of these powerful characters and how the White Queen is introduced into the story. I love the action in the issue and how it escalates with the introduction of Quicksilver and Wanda. I love the twists and betrayals throughout the story and I love how Cap uses strategy to bring down the twins in a way that teases their future in the story.
The Art: Frigeri delivers fantastic art throughout the issue. I loved the details in every page and panel and the character designs blew me away. A stunning looking issue from start to finish.
