The epic conclusion of Ultimate Endgame #4 (from Deniz Camp, Terry Dodson, Rachel Dodson, Jonas Scharf, Edgar Delgado, and Cory Petit) sees Captain America and the remaining Ultimates facing overwhelming odds in Boston. They’re confronted by a massive army led by the Maker’s Captain Britain, who proves to be a devastatingly powerful opponent, even for Steve Rogers.
As a huge fan of that modern Western series, I’ve been following all the spin-offs, and 2026 brought a whole bunch! But after becoming a real hit on regular TV this year, Dutton Ranch is proving exactly why we all fell in love with Yellowstone in the first place. Seriously, it took off – within just one day it was the most-watched show on Paramount+!
