The Ultimates #4 — Phil Noto Cover (2024)

The Ultimates #4 is a 2024 Marvel Comics issue from the new Ultimate Universe, written by Deniz Camp with artwork by Phil Noto. The issue explores the tragic history of Reed Richards' transformation into Doctor Doom and reveals the fate of the Ultimate Universe's Fantastic Four.

The cover is a minimalist, emotionally powerful composition against a mostly white background. A large burning, armored helmet dominates the center, with bright yellow-orange flames rising from it. Beneath and around the helmet are two small mice, one white and one orange, creating a striking contrast between the destructive imagery of Doom and the quiet, vulnerable animals. The vertical “THE ULTIMATES” title appears along the left side, with the Marvel logo and issue number 4 at the top.

The cover also prominently displays the creator names CAMP | NOTO, matching the issue's writer and guest artist credits. The barcode identifies this as Ultimates #4, UPC 75960620830200411.
