A few more Marvel bits and bobs that have been coming my way. Well-sourced but reality has a habit of changing... San Diego Comic Con is expected to bring

The rumour is that we're going to see an Avengers Vs The Ultimates series next year, the second 616/Ultimate crossover, pitting one Captain America against the other.
And that the whole event may lead to the end of the Ultimate Universe, in print published form at least…
The Ultimate Universe was created by Bill Jemas as a[...]
Eerie-yet-enticing cover, and a job well done by Ryan Kelly.
Double Feature: Ultimate Comics: The Ultimates #20 by David Yardin &
Batwoman #16 by J.H Williams III
Two beautiful covers, both involving serpents and the heroes who fight them With Yardin's cover I love his use of water colors, and every painstakingly illustrated scale and muscle[...]
Joe Bennett has been talking about his upcoming arrival on Ultimate Comics: The Ultimates with Sam Humphries.
I'm going back to Marvel because my exclusive contract has ended in DC, I like to work hard and always enjoyed Marvel's characters.
I debut the West Coast Ultimates, Vision, Tigra, Quake, Wonder Man and Black Knight I created the[...]
Sam Humphries, current writer on Ultimate Comics: The Ultimates, Sacrifice and Fanboys Vs Zombies, has a new project for Marvel this year, which he teased to Robot 6.
But that only takes us through January, and everyone already knows about those books anyway So I guess I'll say…Ultimates: Infinity.
It does seem a little tautological… surelye every[...]
Man, is this a tumblr feels post already? It feels like it…
Ultimates remind us that Mark Millar and Bryan Hitch's run on the book was a really really long time ago.
All New X-Men gives us plenty of foreshadowing for the Jean Grey/Emma Frost clash that we just know has to be coming[...]
Say, this didn't just solve who is under the suit in Superior Spider-Man #1, did it?
The Ultimates shows that even if you are carrying the bodies of people you have just saved from certain death, the liberal lamestream media just won't give you a break when you're President.
Picture the scene "Steve, just got the pencils[...]
But the battle is still continuing, just the staging grounds of The Ultimates have changed Now, bring on the jingoistic rhetoric! It's all gone rather "do you think this stands for France?"
Saga #7 gives us tales of sectarianism, in-laws and the largest testicles you've seen in your life And they don't even match[...]
Are spoilers still a problem at this point? Best to stay safe. And Marvel hasn't exactly drawn attention to the contents with their cover for issue 15
So how does Captain America get to do it by accident in today's Ultimates? Without campaigning, without debates, without, it seems, an Electoral College?
Here's how.
An emergency election then, A limited two week campaign Multiple candidates rather than two party mandated choices Increasing the odds that anything could happen, in a country where everything has just[...]
To back up the big spoilery report in the Washington Post this morning, Marvel has made sure that no one could be possibly unspoiled on tomorrow's The Ultimates #15 by sending out a press release to everyone, giving away the ending and showing pages from the subsequent issue #16.
That's some spoilerage The three pages sent[...]
Something media friendly, something guaranteed to get column inches, to get people talking and popping into comic shops to see what all the fuss is about.
And now it's happened.
If you are anticipating tomorrow's Ultimate Comics: The Ultimates, and it's massive media affecting story, get off the internet You won't make it through until tomorrow without[...]
Thanks to Newsarama, this is the cover to Ultimate Comics: The Ultimates #19, out in December
Iron Patriot may refer to many things, the new Iron Man movie, the return of 616 universe wearer of he suit and name, Norman Osborn, but in all likelihood it will probably feature Steve Rogers taking on the armour[...]
It's true, I'd pretty much given up on The Ultimates as a comic that might entertain me Which means when I picked up and read Ultimate Comics: The Ultimates #14 I was blown away and brought right back to those early issues that made such a difference, and which legacy had been pissed away over[...]
Ultimate Comics: The Ultimates finally has done what the series originally promised to do back in the day, but then repeatedly failed to do after that first year, offer new and different superhero stories to tell in a world where anything can happen And here was have a United States falling apart and the Ultimates[...]
I do not know what is in Ultimate Comics: The Ultimates #15, out next month, by Sam Humphries and Luke Ross, part of the "Divided We Fall" crossover.
The solicitations are CLASSIFIED still.
However I do understand that it may be considered a very media-relevant comic So probably spoiled two days previously by the New York Post[...]
That's where Sam will be appearing at both stores to promote Higher Earth, Fanboys Vs Zombies, The Ultimates and John Carter: Gods Of Mars, all having new issues out on that day.
And as for Sacrifice #4? Sam says its on the way…
The new comic from Our Love Is Real's Sam Humphries for Boom! has[...]

SH: It's fantastic, the dude knows what he's doing It's great to work with him, and be able to talk about script and storytelling with him, and talk about character You know, everything from the little moments to the[...]
Sassen frassen.
And now, according to the Marvel Live Blog, he'll be co-writing The Ultimates with Jonathan Hickman from issue 10 At Marvel, previous co-writer introductions to titles often sees the new co-writer take over the book within a few issues as well.
UPDATE: Yup, that's happening Jonathan Hickman will be moving on to an "offer he[...]

This is how The Ultimates returns, not with a bang but with loads of them.
Previously one of Marvel's premier brands, and a central influence on the Marvel Studios movie treatment of Iron Man, The Ultimates was tarnished rather, after Millar and Hitch left the book And even Millar's return didn't bring the book the critical[...]
The current Ultimate books before the relaunch, Ultimate Comics Spider-Man and Ultimate Comics Ultimates Vs New Avengers have been running a multipart crossover storyline The Death Of Spider-Man Which as everyone knows by now, results in the death of Spider-Man.
But it's a crock Or rather the multi-part storyline is, rather At the beginning we saw[...]
