Marvel’s Ultimate Comics series is still the company’s best as we’ve been covering it all year, and now that’s changed. The Ultimate Universe continues to captivate comic readers with its bold storytelling, unpredictable twists and charming reimaginings of Marvel icons, including last week’s hot new iteration of Ultimate Wolverine. Like previous issues, the first issue was a huge success in the industry, selling out and requiring a second printing.
As the Marvel Ultimates series enters its second year, with a blockbuster event on the horizon and the return of the Creator, there’s a lot on the roadmap for the future. Today, fans can get a sneak peek at what’s coming in April, a month before Free Comic Book Day.
