As promised, the Ultimate Universe will reach its end in April. Marvel doesn’t say it’s the last we’ll see of the characters. If I understood Ultimate Universe: Year 2 correctly, the Ultimate Guardians of the Galaxy can bend reality itself. There may still be some universe hopping, if fans embrace a character here as much as they did Miles Morales from the previous Ultimate Universe.
Still, I love these books and could read them for a while, but I also love that the story will truly reach a conclusion. Because stories should.
From Marvel:
ULTIMATE ENDGAME #1 marked the beginning of the end of Marvel’s Ultimate Universe. The five-part event series by Deniz Camp, Jonas Scharf and Terry Dodson closes out the groundbreaking line of comics that ignited the industry the last two years with its bold storytelling and captivating reinventions of the Marvel mythos. Following ULTIMATE ENDGAME’s conclusion in April, ULTIMATE UNIVERSE FINALE #1, a special one-shot, brings together all of the Ultimate series’ creators for a final goodbye. April also sees the final issues of Chris Condon and Alessandro Cappuccio’s ULTIMATE WOLVERINE and Camp and Juan Frigeri’s ULTIMATES, with the final issues of ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN, ULTIMATE BLACK PANTHER, and ULTIMATE X-MEN concluding in the preceding months. Today, fans can see the reveals of all of April’s Ultimate releases as the countdown to the end of the Ultimate Universe truly begins!
A two-year project told in real time, the Ultimate Universe was a first-of-its-kind line of storytelling that quickly became history in the making! With an epic can’t-miss conclusion this April, it’ll be able to be enjoyed from beginning to end as a complete, interconnected, and deeply rewarding saga. Read on to learn about its final four chapters!
