NYCC | Marvel’s Ultimate Universe will end next year

Each series will end between December and April, with the final battle with the Maker coming in ‘Ultimate Endgame.’

For the second time, Marvel’s Ultimate Universe will come to an end.

During Marvel’s Next Big Thing Panel at NYCC, Head of Marvel Comics and Franchise Dan Buckley, Editor in Chief C.B. Cebulski, Senior Editor Wil Moss, The Ultimates writer Deniz Camp and Ultimate Wolverine writer Chris Condon confirmed that the finite story, as it was conceived by story architect Jonathan Hickman, would wrap up in 2026.

“It’s hard to talk about without getting emotional,” said Camp. “It really is the culmination of everything Jonathan began. Everything from my book and everyone else’s book are all converging. It’s gonna be definitive, it’s going to be big, it’s going to be emotional, there’s going to be death…it’s just wild.”

Marvel previously announced this past summer that December’s Ultimate Spider-Man #24 would be the final issue of that title, and have confirmed that Ultimate Black Panther, Ultimate X-Men and The Ultimates will all end with their 24th issues. Ultimate Wolverine will end with issue #16. The showdown with the Maker will conclude with the previously announced Ultimate Endgame, the five-issue miniseries that kicks off in December and concludes in April.

Marvel announces three more ‘Ultimate’ titles for 2024

Peach Momoko, Bryan Hill, Stefano Caselli and more will contribute to the resurrected Ultimate Universe.

Marvel’s Ultimate Universe, which was reincarnated in the recent Ultimate Invasion miniseries, will grow next year with three new titles, following the Ultimate Universe one-shot coming Nov. 1.

Spider-Man, Black Panther and the X-Men will get new Ultimate titles in this “world outside your window” approach architected by Jonathan Hickman.

“What made the Ultimate Universe originally really interesting was that it was a reflection of the world outside your window, in the moment that you were living in. What does it look like in the world we’re living in now?” Hickman said back in June. “It’s kind of shocking how much the world has changed in that period of time. The idea of what it would be like to see the genesis of super heroes in a brand-new world is a really fascinating exercise.”

Hickman himself will write one of the titles, Ultimate Spider-Man, while Bryan Hill will write the first-ever Ultimate Black Panther series.
