Ultimate Comics: The Ultimates #18

Once Jonathan Hickman and Esad Ribic left Ultimate Comics: The Ultimates and Sam Humphries and Luke Ross took over, the title bogged down in the usual tired, superficial superhero fare I grew up ingesting in the 1970s. Now, like then, it was Captain America at the center of the story.

Captain America has been elected President of the United States following the anti-matter bomb that destroyed the Congress and most of the executive branch. The country has split apart into various sovereign regional states. Captain America and the Ultimates are conquering the rebel states and reintegrating them into the Union.

The four scans below show Thor taking out his evil son Modi, who has been pulling the strings on the rebellion, while Captain America mops up the last bit of militia resistance outside Cheyenne, Wyoming:
