Major Spoilers Poll of the Week: That other universe edition

Posted on by

For the last couple of days, rumor has spread like wildfire across the Intardwebz that Marvel is considering a big crossover between the 616 Universe and the Ultimate Universe (Universe 1610), with the ultimate outcome (see what I did there) being the closure/end of the Ultimate line of print comics.  Brian Michael Bendis, the guy that has been helming the U-Universe, and doing a dang find job of it (save for that horrible Loeb debacle), says this isn’t what is happening.  But that got us wondering anyway…

VOTE!


Should Marvel end the Ultimate Universe?

Ultimate X-Men and Ultimate Fantastic Four Series Conclude

Posted on by

Ultimatum_NoMore_UltimateFFUltimateXMen.jpg

February 18, 2009 will wrap up the Ultimate X-Men series with issue #100.  The same day sees the end of Ultimate Fantastic Four which had a mildly interesting 60-issue run.  The end of the series ties directly into Ultimatum from Marvel, which seems to be hell-bent on destroying the Ultimate Universe that spawned the whole Marvel Zomibe craze.  I’ve done a little digging, but after the last round of solicitations from Marvel, I’m more convinced all of Ultimate U is ending when Ultimate Spider-Man reaches issue #133.

If you’ve read the latest issue of Ultimatum #2, you know that someone else on the list got his neck broken on the last page.  Let’s see, Wasp starts with W, and what letter comes after W?

The $3.99 issue is still on sale, and is worth checking out if you are even remotely familiar with the characters in the Ultimate Universe.

Everyone Loves a Countdown…to Ultimatum!

Posted on by

Marvel sent its own Top 5 list to Major Spoilers, letting everyone know why you must read Ultimatum.

Ultimatum_Top5Reasons.jpg

I especially like number 1 – FOREVER! (until the next big event).  Is anyone else tired of that phrase’s overuse?  I also like number 5, as it means no more annoying Mary Jane… or does it?  I half expect that to mean everyone will become mutants.

Ultimatum #1 arrives November 5, 2008, and features a cover price of $3.99.

Read March on Ultimatum Saga #1 for “Free”

MarchOnUltimatumSaga_Cover.jpg

Marvel Comics has announced fans of the Ultimate Universe can read the March on Ultimatum Saga #1 for “free” on the Marvel Digital Comics Unlimited site.

MARCH ON ULTIMATUM SAGA
Written by STUART VANDAL
Cover by DAVID FINCH

I find it interesting that in order to read this “free” book, you have to sign up for an account, which requires you to pay for a monthly or yearly fee.  Your best bet is to head to your LCS and see if the owner has any free copies left over from last week.
