Marvel sent its own Top 5 list to Major Spoilers, letting everyone know why you must read Ultimatum.
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.
Stephen Schleicher began his career writing for the Digital Media Online community of sites, including Digital Producer and Creative Mac covering all aspects of the digital content creation industry. He then moved on to consumer technology, and began the Coolness Roundup podcast. A writing fool, Stephen has freelanced for Sci-Fi Channel's Technology Blog, and Gizmodo. Still longing for the good ol' days, Stephen launched Major Spoilers in July 2006, because he is a glutton for punishment.

“The first crossover involving EVERY character in the Ultimate U!”
When I see Hawk-Owl and Woody, I’ll believe it…
Well, it’s good that they’re trying something. I beleive one of the original pitches for the U line was “not mired in continuity”, but after 100 issues, guess what, now they are.
I think it’s good that they mix it up – HOWEVER…
They don’t seem to do any better than 616 on death. It seems there is a Ultimate revolving door. You can’t shock and awe me with an Ultimate death (yet).
Finch vs. 3.99… tough fight. I think 3.99 is going to win, though.
I can’t help but think… Ultimates 3 is to Ultimatum as Countdown was to DOTNG.
I’ll reserve judgement, though…
