SDCC | Deniz Camp to write ‘Ultimate Universe: One Year In’ one-shot

Marvel says ‘Happy birthday’ to the Ultimate Universe this December.

The Ultimate Universe returned last year, and then really kicked into gear in 2024 with the launches of Ultimate Spider-Man, Ultimate X-Men, Ultimate Black Panther and the latest title, The Ultimates. Marvel will mark the end of the first full year of titles with Ultimate Universe: One Year In, a one-shot coming in December.

Written by Deniz Camp and featuring a cover by Stefano Caselli, the artist for the project was not announced when Marvel revealed it was coming today in San Diego. But it will heavily feature the Maker’s Council, the villains who secretly rule the world, as well as the debut of the Ultimate versions of two characters.

“Kind of brings together the entire universe, fills in some history, ties back to a bunch of what we’ve been doing in Ultimates, and introduces a character or two people have been clamoring for,” Camp said on social media.

Deniz Camp + Juan Frigeri relaunch ‘The Ultimates’ in June

A familiar title returns as a part of Marvel’s new Ultimate Universe line.

Marvel’s new Ultimate Universe line will get a familiar addition this summer, as The Ultimates, featuring an Avenger-esque team with Iron Lad, Captain America, Thor, Sif and more, will debut from the team of writer Deniz Camp and artist Juan Frigeri.

The title joins Ultimate Spider-Man, Ultimate X-Men and Ultimate Black Panther as part of the Jonathan Hickman-architected line-up of what could arguably be called Marvel’s most exciting launch in quite awhile.

“The new Ultimates line is the most exciting super hero comics event in years, and it’s humbling to be a part of it,” Camp said. “We are reinventing these classic characters and archetypes to be as surprising and vital as when they were first introduced. Our Ultimates is an evolution not just of the Avengers, but of the whole super hero team concept; from the grand and operatic to the small and personal, The Ultimates will feel like no Avengers or Ultimates comic ever before! That’s our ambition, anyway; tune in to find out if we succeed.“
