Marvel just sent us its latest promo piece for the March to Ultimatum, the huge major shakeup in the Marvel Ultimate Universe (MUU), that will see at least one title cancelled going into next year.
As long as Ultimate Spider-Man isn’t cancelled, I’m happy.

I don’t know about anyone else, but I am excited for this. I do like that qoute on the poster.
Could this be the Ultimate U’s Number of the Beast?
i like the quote too. can’t wait for the trade (i know, it’s still 2 years away)
Now that looks rather interesting….To bad im not into the Ultimates U..not even spidey….yeah i know.
Is it just me or has Ultimate 3 sucked royal nardz? Maduiera’s art is too stylistic for its own good and really derailed the goodness from the Millar/Hitch run. But this … I’m pumped for.
Definitely not just you, doubledumbassonyou. Unfortunately
“Jeph will be writing a series called New Ultimates with a cast to be determined from the outcome of Ultimatum. ”

i hope that the series that gets the Axe is fantastic four, i really like all the others muu series
I have to guess that a title cancelled would just mean “relaunched #1”
Fantastic Four… becoming Five? Six? Force? Probably not.
Ultimate Spider-Man… becoming Ultimate Spider-Men? Ultimate Venom? Nah.
Ultimate X-men… becoming Ultimate X-Factor (I am guessing mutants hated and feared post-Ultimatum)? I would say this is the most likely.
Still waiting on a Ultimate Power Pack being written as children whose parents are “Sons of Anarchy” bikers
bendis said the change in US-M will be the supporting cast.
Me? I’m hoping that the intolerably boring UX-M gets the axe. I think UF4 could be saved if the perma-swapped the powers around.
I read that the only series assured to survive this was Ultimate Spidey…
Last I heard from Marvel on the interweb was that they’d be having 4 monthly regular series for the Ultimate Universe and a variety of mini series, the only of the 4 pillars of the universe titles confirmed that I’ve heard of was Millar’s avengers, and Ultimate spidey. Hopefully considering the quality of Ultimates 3 and what seems to be happening on Hulk Loeb’s next Ultimates title will just be a mini series rather than a pillar.
X-men and FF are up in the air though for post Ultimatum.
Loeb apparently sells so they’d be nuts not to give him a monthly if he can work it into his schedule.
Then I hope he’s busy and can’t fit it in. Selling isn’t the only factor this is meant to be an modern, inventive and intriguing re-imagining of the Marvel Universe of which Loeb has offered very little inventiveness, intrigue or even re-imaginifying what with Thor knocking back old school seemingly and his hammer reverting back to what it was.
The only thing good is that he killed off Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch whom he ruined by his incapability to be subtle or deft with his writing.
I was fairly late at catching on to the Ultimate -U, yet love what I’ve read so far, with The Ultimates 1 + 2 and all the USM trades and I still have Ultimate Team Ups to read.
This. This looks awesome, shake it up and go nuts.
Magneto trounces thor? NO REALLY?! It’s hard for me to accept how weak they made the norse GOD the ultimate universe. And who out of all the villains they have herald this “momentious” event bleeding I can bend spoons magneto. Green goblin is bigger threat than him! Aunt may would wipe the floor with him! *takes a deep breath* Ok, i’m better now.
