Article Summary

  • Ultimate Spider-Man ends with issue #24, marking the finale of Jonathan Hickman’s Ultimate Universe run.
  • Ultimate Spider-Man #22 releases soon, but issue #23 has been delayed until December 10th, 2025.
  • Expected delays may push Ultimate Spider-Man #24 beyond its New Year’s Eve schedule into early 2026.
  • Absolute Batman #14 faces a one-week delay, potentially impacting retailer sales during November 2025.

Ultimate Spider-Man ends with issue #24, and will be taking the Ultimate Universe down with it. But it may be coming out a little later than planned. Ultimate Spider-Man #22 is out this coming week, but then you may have a little wait on your hands, as there will be no issue of Ultimate Spider-Man out in November. Ultimate Spider-Man #23 has been delayed from the 26th of November until the 10th of December. Ultimate Spider-Man #24 is still scheduled for New Year's Eve, but I get the feeling that this will have to be bumped into the New Year now.

While Absolute Batman is also getting delayed, a tad. Absolute Batman #14 has a new on-sale date of the 19th of November, 2025, rather than the 12th of November. Only a week, but these are two of the best-selling comic book series in the direct market now, so this may have a cash flow impact on retailers' plans for the month.
