So how does Sif go from this to teaming-up with them?
Ultimate Thor's definitely got some anger issues to work out.
I know it's not but that looks like Doom 2099.

"We live in a world of cowards. We live in a world full of small minds who are afraid. We are ruled by those who refuse to risk anything of their own. Who guard their over bloated paucities of power with money. With false reasoning. With measured hesitance. With prideful, recalcitrant inaction. With hateful invective. With weapons. F@#K these selfish fools and their prevailing world order." Tony Stark
Beyond the similar appearances, 6160 Doom being Reed likely means this will also be a more heroic “Doom” (although Reed is clearly suffering from mental problems thanks to Maker so who knows).
My hunch is that will spin out of the UBP and Hickman wants to push people to check that out, hence why it’s not in the starting lineup.

I kinda miss hippie Thor, but this looks good.
So… not much actually happens lol. The Ultimates just break into Asgard and get Thor, they have Cap but don’t free him yet (seems no one actually remembers him still which is interesting), and they have one container full of relics like Peter’s spider but there were far more they had to leave behind. Sif is kind of on their side, she’s still not convinced about what Tony and Reed claim, but she’s leaning towards helping them. The Ultimate Illuminati retaliates for the theft by framing Tony for murder as a terrorist - Norman and Emily Osborn are listed among the missing/KIA of the blast - and so is May Parker. Looks like Hickman is setting up Harry to be the Green Goblin of 6160 and Peter either won’t have May OR Ben, or in 6160 May is dead and Ben is alive.
Given this directly sets up the Black Panther book it looks like my hunch of BP being the one to actually host the Ultimates was correct. Hickman likely wants to push people to check out BP and is holding off on Ultimates for that reason.

On one hand it’s probably for the best *not* to get too into the weeds of it all to the point the one shot is mandatory. On the other hand there is so much lore and backstory already for 6160 that I’m concerned it’s going to be a put off for new readers. Ultimate Spider-Man will be the test, I’m more excited for that one now at least. DoomReed and Tony approaching Peter likely won’t go well at first since Tony is getting blamed for killing Peter’s Aunt May.

Captain Britain loses his right eye because of Iron Lad.
Part of Manhattan is gone.
The map of the world has changed. The NAU is no more is redistributed.
Backup of The Ultimate X-Men. I thought it was cute.
