Today's Ultimate Universe: One Year In, telling the tragic story of an Ultimate Nick Fury, along with a few others, has a back-up strip showing off their new Ultimate Wolverine, by Chris Condon and Alessandro Cappuccio. And set in the geopolitics of this Ultimate world, with Eurasia rather than Russia, led by Colossus and Magik and working with The Maker as one of the power bases, creating their own version of Krakoa… which is more like Gamorra.

And Dr Alonya Prostovich taking the role of Dr Abraham Cornelius here, in the equivalent of a Weapon X programme, Directorate X.

And finding a subject after a mutant attack in seemingly the forests of Siberia or similar… instead of Canada.

And giving us a Logan who is not a Weapon X but a very controlled Winter Soldier in the Bucky Barnes form…

Although, as for the design for this Ultimate Wolverine, someone else thinks they have first dibs… Rob Liefeld writes, "My Wolverine designs I was asked to submit in 1989!!

As well as comparing the two.

And he's also got a Wolverine out too today as well, in Deadpool Team-Up #4… back in the yellow…
