Writer: Johnathan Hickman Art: Carlos Pacheco Reprints Ultimate Thor #1-#4 The Story: Ultimate Thor's origin is told here. We see the Ultimate versions of Odin, Loki, The Warriors Three and the events of Ragnarok. There are actually 3 stories that intertwine in this mini. In the present, we see Ultimate Thor in the care of the EUSS, namely Brian Braddock and his father, James Braddock. They work together with a man named Donald Blake to figure out what exactly is causing Thor's mental problems. In Asgard's distant past ,we see Thor's origins along with familiar Asgardians such as Odin, Loki, Balder and the Warriors Three. We learn of the legend of Ragnarok and how it shall come to pass. In 1930s Europe, we meet the Ultimate version of Baron Zemo. His agenda against the Asgardians is aided by the Nazis and a group of Frost Giants. Using the Norn Stones, Zemo is able to launch a campaign on Asgard itself and bring about Ragnarok. All three of these stories are tied together nicely by Hickman. he identities of Zemo & Blake are nice surprises. if I have any complaints about this arc it's that it is very brief and I feel like it could have easily gone 6 issues. That's only a minor complaint for a very fun story. 6.5/10 for nice art by Pacheco and a good story from Hickman.

Are the Ultimate Warriors 3 significantly different from the mainstream?

Not really. They barely make a cameo TBH.
