Ultimate Enemy #2 - Marvel

Ok . . we don't know who, or what this 'Enemy' is yet, but . . we do know who it's attacked. Last issue ended with Nick Fury coming under it's wrath. The problem is . . Nick was in disguise, and no-one even knows that he's alive. Well . . a few people do, but . . it's a very short list. Anyways, Nick survives most of is assaults, but it looks like he may be on the ropes when Johnny and Peter show up. They see the damage being caused by the fight and swoop in to try to do something to help. It appears to be a massive alien being. But it's not really talking so . . we don't know who, what or why . . yet. Then . . it just disappears. Two things come out of the conflict. First . . they see Nick. They didn't even know he was alive. Then . . then they see that the Baxter building is being attacked by some kind of giant organism. Johnny goes flaming in, because he's worried about his sister. But before they leave she uses her force-field to capture a piece of it. She's hoping that Reed will be able to identify it. She also notices that she doesn't appear to have been the target. It appears that the target was the Baxter Building itself. Last issue the same creature attacked the Roxxon building. So now the question rises . . is the organism and the alien the same thing, or are they 2 different attacks? Also last issue the alien, I believe, attacked the house of Reed Richards and his parents. Again . . no one knew they were here. They'd been relocated and assumed new names by the government. Our band of 'heroes' find this out when they go there to have Reed examine Sue's piece of the organism. In the meantime, the alien has also gone after Spider-woman, Jessica Drew, at her apartment. And as Peter is calling Aunt May to check on her, we see that the alien is standing outside of the house. Brian Bendis and Rafa Sandoval are doing a terrific job here. I'm not sure yet what's going on, or what the purpose of this series is, but . . it's been damn exciting along the way. Hopefully we'll get some more pieces of the puzzle next issue. It appears to me that the Ultimate Universe is being relaunched with a bang!
