Ultimate Wolverine #16 is solicited for the 15th of April. Ultimate Endgame #5 was solicited for the 22nd of April, and Ultimate Universe: Finale #1 for the 29th of April. And a 616 impact comic, is scheduled for May. And then that's it. Except, of course, it isn't quite. Because The Ultimates #24 has now been delayed to the 20th of May. Ultimate Endgame #5 has now been delayed until the 3rd of June 2o026. And if that's the case, one might expect the Finale and Impact to also be delayed. And readers of Ultimate Wolverine #16, if that stays on time, to wait six weeks rather than seven days for the conclusion of that story…
