The story
Why watch Marvel's Ultimate Comics?
Spider-Man and Iron Man share a training assignment that becomes more demanding than planned, while Black Panther faces an unexpected visitor in Wakanda. This compact animated collection presents two adventures across four short episodes. It was also released under the name Marvel Video Comics, the title used on Marvel's official preview.
The short format makes this an approachable way to spend a little time with familiar heroes. Training Day gives a team-up room to develop across three chapters; The Visitor offers a change of setting and lead character. Watch for how quickly each episode establishes a problem and puts the heroes' skills to work, rather than expecting the scale or pace of a feature film.

A starting point
Start with the opening Training Day chapter and keep the three parts together. You can then finish with The Visitor, which shifts attention to Black Panther. The short episodes provide their own immediate situations, so there is no need to turn this into a long movie checklist before trying the first one.
Story & release
Where it fits
This page covers the four-episode animated collection released in 2016. Begin with the three Training Day chapters in sequence, then continue to Black Panther's The Visitor. The familiar hero names are a way to choose what interests you; they do not turn these shorts into missing chapters of the live-action films. The related movies below are optional ways to explore other versions of those characters.
