Jonathan Hickman & Stefano Caselli's First Look: Ultimate Universe #1

At the end of Ultimate Invasion by Jonathan Hickman and Bryan Hitch, we saw Tony Stark and junior Kang, part of the new Ultimate Universe.

At the end of Ultimate Invasion by Jonathan Hickman and Bryan Hitch, we saw Tony Stark – Iron Lad and junior Kang – teamed with a Reed Richards clad in the armour of Doctor Doom. All part of the new Ultimate Universe as formed by The Maker – but also, it seemed, partially formed by them…

… as they found their version of Steve Rogers still in the ice, before The Maker could.

From Marvel Comics in November, this is followed by Ultimate Universe #1 by Jonathan Hickman and Stefano Caselli, which will set up the new Marvel Ultimate line in 2024, which will kick off with Ultimate Spider-Man by Jonathan Hickman and Marco Checchetto. Bleeding Cool has heard we will also get an Ultimate X-Men, Ultimates and Ultimate Black Panther.

And now we have a first look at that Ultimate Universe #1 one-shot.

This week, readers witnessed the worlds-shaking conclusion of Jonathan Hickman and Bryan Hitch's ULTIMATE INVASION limited series where a new generation of heroes was born to save the future! Their saga continues in November's ULTIMATE UNIVERSE #1 where Hickman will team up with Stefano Caselli to lay the groundwork for a new line of Ultimate Comics. In this extra-sized foundational one-shot, enter a new age of Ultimate storytelling filled with bold takes on iconic Marvel characters and special previews of upcoming Ultimate titles, including the recently revealed Ultimate Spider-Man and more.

"What made the Ultimate Universe originally really interesting was that it was a reflection of the world outside your window, in the moment that you were living in. What does it look like in the world we're living in now?" Hickman said. "It's kind of shocking how much the world has changed in that period of time. The idea of what it would be like to see the genesis of Super Heroes in a brand new world is a really fascinating exercise."

Check out never-before-seen interior artwork as well as Bryan Hitch's newly revealed main cover that features the line's all-new trade dress. Check with your local comic shop regarding availability and preorders for this milestone issue and learn more about Hickman's Ultimate Spider-Man and the future of the Ultimate Universe next month at the Marvel: Next Big Thing Panel at New York Comic Con!
