This is the cover to February 2015's Avengers #41 by Bryan Hitch. And this is the cover to 2002's The Ultimates #1 by Bryan Hitch. Say… remember a Bleeding Cool story that didn't seem to have come to fruition, from quite a while ago? I know Jonathan Hickman has been planning stuff for a while[...]

The current November solicitations for All-New Ultimates do seem to suggest that the three issues in November, December and January will be that title's last, taking it to #12. ALL-NEW ULTIMATES #10 MICHEL FIFFE (w) • AMILCAR PINNA (a) Cover by DAVID NAKAYAMA THE ULTIMATE UNIVERSE IS A DANGEROUS PLACE FOR A TEEN SUPER-HERO!!! • The beginning of an epic[...]

And the All-New Ultimates #1 makes that very clear, from Michel Fiffe and Amilcar Pinna. Featuring Spider-Man, Black Widow, Kitty Pryde, Bombshell, Cloak and Dagger, it's just another example of instutionalised racism against white male characters in modern comics. People say they'll never sell, but how will you know if you don't try? The comic sees a super-powered gang[...]

Because the Marvel site has two listings, one for Ultimate Comics The Ultimates #35 and Ultimate Comics Spider-Man #32. The numbering would fit the issue numbers, if the Cataclysm mini-series had been included in the regular numbering It could be a placeholder It be just a glitch in the system Could Marvel really be preparing some[...]

I'll add a line to the youtube description and on the description on my website. — Kyle Lambert (@kylelambert) December 3, 2013 But he also had a go with the Hulk from The Ultimates comic by Bryan Hitch. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-U1_9we6Rwk[/youtube] Which rather miffed Bryan. here's the original from Marvel's 2002 comic The Ultimates issue 5, @leolaporte drawn by me[...]

New Jerseyites were thrilled. Today? Possibly not so much. From Cataclysm: The Ultimates Last Stand #1, we see the Earth facing a Galactus from another universe And he starts to do what Galactuses start to do… without a Mr Fantastic to stop him. And which is the first state to be completely wiped out by his stomping? Why,[...]

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[...]

Then I'm doing Ultimates for Marvel , co-writing with Jonathan Hickman. JW: What's it like working with Hickman? 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[...]

Bryan Hitch has been counting down for a while now, with lots of speculation as to what the countdown might be for. In covering the countdown, Rich

Bleeding Cool has five copies of Bryan Hitch’s Ultimate Comics Studio, signed by the man himself, to give away. And how do you do so? Easy. Go on Twitter

Ultimate Comics: The Ultimates #1, shipping today is polybagged A small amount of copies have been signed by Stan Lee with a certificate However, the certificate, at the back of the comic, is blindingly obvious to see by anyone with eyes looking for it. That Stan Lee autograph could well see their value skyrocket in the[...]

Ultimate Comics The Ultimates #1 by Jonathan Hickman and Esad Ribic is published today But it's in a sealed bag Possibly with chase signatures and the like inside.
