We're in the Endgame now

LFG

>Whose ready for live coverage of the MARVEL COMICS: Ultimate Universe panel?!
hooray

>>149570888 (OP)
It's about time.

Here for the schizophrenia

>Ultimate Spider-Man: Incursion #3 interior art!
does Miles speak Japanese?

>>149570952
I swear at this point can't the San Diego convention center spring for some better displays?, everything is always so washed out.

>>149570989
Marvel isn't the juggernaut it once was. This is all they can afford.

>>149570982
>See a black kid
>Instantly tries to fry him

gibaway comic

>“One of the things I really enjoy is that because he’s in the Ultimae Universe, he’s experiencing real-time” - @DenizCamp on Miles Morales
sadly the mini doesn't work as a monthly experience, you got to read it in one sitting

>>149570982
That’s not my wife……

>“Seeing Miles going back to this place that’s unfamiliar and unknown is exciting” - @CBCebulski
but he's not going back to anything yoshida

>Incursion sets the stage for the next wave of Ultimate books.

>>149570982
There’s something uncanny about how they look

>Jonas Scharf is getting mad praise, @DenizCamp said “I wanted to work with him, he can do anything.”

>Scharf is the first artist other than Peach Momoko to draw Ultimate X-Men
variant cover artists excluded

>They just praise @peachmomoko60 for being the “hardest working person in #comics…and the nicest!”

>“They are not themselves” - @DenizCamp on Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch

>Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch will fight Hawkeye and Cap

>>149571033
1st time they've been drawn by someone who's not Momoko.

>“Deniz is the glue that holds everything together, he’s the hero of the line” - Hickman said.

>More Ultimates covers revealed.
we've seen these

>>149571063
there been drawn on covers by other artists.

>Shang-Chi in #15, #16 is the Ultimates’ effect, and #18 is jokingly referred to as a movie tie-in
will I have to read it to understand the MCU?

>Ultimates #15 interior art! Ultimate Shang-Chi!

>>149571053
Exterminatrix! I will now read the terrible Ultimates.

>>149571078
They're getting lazy with these redesigns for Ultimate

>Apparently Shang-Chi will have a connection to the Hulk, @DenizCamp wants to go into the weirder, wilder parts of Marvel mythology
Shang got da fist

>Von Randal is the artist for Ultimates #15, Frigeri back on issue #16. Ultimates 18 - “the culmination of everything we’ve been building towards. It feels really special to me. Things really ramp up in a big way from 18” - @DenizCamp
he's coming

>>149571078
Wierd Shang-chi is in a design very similar to his current 616 design

>Time to talk Ultimate Wolverine!
snoozeverine

>“First six Wolverine issues had him as the Winter Soldier, 7 had him dealing with the horrible things he did.” - Condon said.

>>149571110
Enough with the balls, Tony.

>Issue 8 is the Opposition’s first mission, “it’s a rescue mission that turns out to be anything but”

>Interior art for #8 by @AlesCappuccio!
I guess his costume changed a little

>>149571127
This could have been a cool cover with a better artist

>“His mind has been freed, but now he frees his costume.” - Condon

>Condon calls Alessandro Cappuchio “one of a kind.”

>Interior art for Ultimate Wolverine #9

>Ultimate Wolverine #9 features Wolverine VS Master Mold!

>>149571143
WTF is this story telling?
That middle page makes no sense.

>Ultimate Wolverine #11 out in November, check out the cover!

>Time to talk Ultimate Hawkeye!
oh right, that's also happening

>>149571127
>>149571143
>>149571162
WEAPON X!!!!!!
WIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINTEEERRRRR SOLDIIIIIIERRRRR!!!!
GAMBIT!
KITTY PRYDE!
SENTINELS!
I CLAPPED, I CLAPPED WHEN I SAW THEM!
DID YOU CLAP AT ANY NEW CREATIVE TWISTS OR REINVENTIONS OF THESE CHARACTERS IN THIS SETTING?
NO!
I CLAPPED WHEN WOLVERINE SAID HE'S THE BEST THERE IS AT HE DOES AGAIN

what happened to the other writer that was originally attached to this?

>A new Ultimate characters teased with connections to Hawkeye, hmmm...
wouldn't surprise me if it was Red Wolf, Taboo loves that guy

nothing of substance, or any story beats are being revealed. this is boring

>>149571200
This guy here, he gets it, he's a real Marvel Zombie, we should all work to be less judgemental like him.

>>149571206
Who was the originally announced writer?

>>149571230
The guy who wrote Earthdivers

>>149571206
Taboo from the Black Eyed Peas still works at Marvel?

>Onto Ultimate Black Panther.

>“Ororo goes missing, we learn who the spy from the first issue who killed T’Challa is…we’re ramping up some big stuff.” - Moss

>>149571244
>Ororo goes missing, we learn who the spy from the first issue who killed T’Challa is…we’re ramping up some big stuff.” - Moss
Took you this long?

>>149571241
yep
I guess it more of a PR thing for him

>Onto Ultimate X-Men!

>“Peach has been crafting a special, epic, unique story” - Editor Wil Moss

>“Maystorm and her friends have been looking for Armor, who’s held by the Children of the Atom. They’ll fight the Shadow King” - Moss

>>149571244
Super Skrull looks pretty cool

>>149571257
That's not super skrull.

>Ultimate Spider-Man time

>Interiors by @MChecC for issue #19!

>“The solicits are all a lie, which is my favorite part” - Hickman said. Hickman also teases that every book is reaching a climax, including Ultimate Spidey.

>“We’re smashing it all together. Every tease, every Easter egg matters.”
so are they really ending?

>>149571274
Mole Man needs to learn how to knock.

>>149571256
The motorcycle covers are solisitated as connecting together but the Ultimate tradedress killed the effect. Let the art breathe Marvel

>Ultimate Spider-Man #20 interiors by Messina!

>“20 is a tough issue for MJ, but she’s tough.” - Hickman. He jokes “I got fired! It finally happened!”

>Ultimate Spider-Man #24 cover by @MChecC!
uh oh
it has the marks of cancelation on it

>>149571309
They're just relaunching it after the Maker event.

>>149571309
Welp, now I know when to stop caring about Spider-Man comics

>Hickman says “You guys will love it. It’s been a pleasure getting to write a little Spider-Man.”

>Apparently there’s a character missing on the cover in Ultimate Spidey #19.

>>149571309
If you asked someone to draw a man strangling their golden goose without depicting animal cruelty, it'd be this

>>149571309
Once it's gone, so am I.

>>149571271
Sorry
Ultimate Skrull
>>149571297
David Messina getting a big book for once, even if he's pinch hitting, dude is one of my favs.

>Time to talk Ultimate Endgame!
well
this is it

>“All of the Ultimate characters get together to fight the Maker’s return” - Wil Moss

>>149571319
>>149571328
>>149571335
>>149571309
>>149571344
Relaunching without it being Realtime

>Ultiamte Endgame #1 by @DenizCamp and @scharf_jonas!
he's here

>>149571350
Yeah, thats what I thought too. I dunno if Hickman is gonna keep writing it but USM is gonna keep going.

>>149571350
I hope you're right, but that "The End" isn't filling me with much hope

>>149571350
Also set in reality, no more Ni no Kuni and other made up shit but Wakanda and Latveria

>>149571350
The monkey paw? Cody Zilglar takes over Spider-man.

>“This is the craziest and most impactful crossover since Crisis on Infinite Earths” - @DenizCamp

>“He meant to say Secret Wars” - Hickman

>Promises a lot of resolutions across the board

>“Very big, very dramatic…we can change the world. We have an incredible playground and freedom that Marvel encouraged us with.” - @DenizCamp
let's see how you handle it

>>149571357
The Maker has been working out

>>149571357
Holy shit I kneel. That cover is incredible.

>Camp found out that he was writing Ultimate Endgame last NYCC.

>Hickman said that @DenizCamp doing Ultimates meant that he would be teed up for Endgame, since it was important.

>>149571378
>incredible
Say that again

>>149571357
HE IS JUST SMILING.... MENACINGLY

>>149571377
I mean he and the others in his city have all the time to get fitted

>“There’s no one who’s more prepared and I’m more excited for than Deniz. You guys are gonna love the s*** out of it” - Hickman

>Cebulski says that part of the fun of the Ultimate comics is how compact it is, allowing for more collaboration.
maybe that's a lesson to take and give it to the rest of the Marvel books, hint hint

>>149571256
I’m gonna miss the biker gang girls….

>>149571357
Why do people act afraid of this cuck

>>149571037
Miles has a sword?

>“This is what we should do more of going forward” - Hickman said. Again praises fans for sticking with the books
thank you

>The Q&A section is now starting!
unfortunately the AIPT reporterboy always skip these

>>149571430
Yes. He can condense his venom energy into a sword shape

>>149571373
My guess New Ultimate was dry run to see if readers would accept a continuity reboot.
If Ultimate is still successful, post endgame, they could try it again with 616

>>149571437
Someone needs to fucking ask about what happens after the event if there's a relaunch or if it's in. Anon please do it for me.

nevermind he's actually covering them

>Hickman came up with the monthly idea, Camp says he loved it because it made him think outside the box
and now Hickman regrets it

>>149571429
Because he have nothing holding him back

>>149571053
I’m pretty sure it’s not easy doing art and writing the story yourself so hats off to her especially since I know she does watercolor

and while the Q&A is happening
>Since its creation in 2023, Marvel's new Ultimate Universe has taken the industry by storm with its bold reinventions of Spider-Man, Black Panther, the Avengers, the X-Men and more!

>Just now at the highly anticipated Marvel Comics: Ultimate Universe Panel at San Diego Comic-Con, ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN writer and the visionary mind behind the Ultimate Universe Jonathan Hickman, Marvel Comics Editor-in-Chief C.B. Cebulski, Ultimate Editor Wil Moss, ULTIMATES writer Deniz Camp and ULTIMATE WOLVERINE writer Chris Condon shed light on the future of the best-selling line with exciting first looks, the reveal of the final issue of ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN, and the official announcement for ULTIMATE ENDGAME, a five-part event series by Deniz Camp, Jonas Scharf and more launching in December.

kino

>>149571513
That make sense

>>149570970
Why is he colored like it's a memorial?

Oh shit Mark Millar is on stage now

I swear if this whole thing was just another excuse to push Miles again....

Any Ultimate Carol news?

>>149570982
>>149571000
>>149571033
>>149571063
Makes you realize these designs are kinda ass if they aren't drawn a specific way

>>149571593
Fuck off, you walking prolapse

>>149571068
He's right, Ultimates and USM are the only books I care about

>>149571593
She's dead. She wasn't capable of being a superhero and ended up killing herself.

I can't help but feel like we're all gonna look back on this as a massive stunt

>>149571509
Kinda crazy they're going to let Endgame fly solo without the other titles to support it

>>149571162
We're just doing anything now

>>149571623
Nah she just exploded a bit she's probably off-planet somewhere
Hopefully she's back for Endgame

>>149571309
>Benom missing on the presentation image but shows up here >>149571500
I wonder why they did that.

>>149571346
They not even an Alien, it's like a Evil Spirit from another dimension

>>149571597
She was black?

>>149571625
>I can't help but feel like we're all gonna look back on this as a massive stunt

Ah ja, zis vill be known as ze time Marvel said, ‘Ve can do it better zis time, ja!’ Und zen promptly tripped over zeir own retcon. I am both excited und emotionally preparing for disappointment, like going on a blind date mit a reboot!"

>Ultimate Spider-Man is ending

Good, Spider-Man should be a guy constantly having trouble living a double life and being nearly killed and dumped in the same day. Ultimate Spidey is just a fanfiction power fantasy of Peter as a Mary sue family man and loads of characters actually treating him like a messiah like many impotent Spider-Man fans always wanted him to be ever since civil war.

>>149571256
I really hate how the monthly time skips fucked up showing the build up to them having an actual group of mutants gathered

>>149571282
It'd be funny as hell if Marvel is actually dumb enough to kill it off that fast for real, but then again it might be a blessing in the long run

>>149571682
>Schizobabble.
Take your meds.

alright I think it's over now
RECAP
>Early look at Ultimate Spider-Man: Incursion #3, Ultimates #14-15, Ultimate Wolverine #8-9, Ultimate Spider-Man #19-20

>Line winding down for Ultimate Endgame, most likely to be brought back after it with no more real-time gimmick
well that was it guys, see you guys for the next comic con livethread (think it will be NYCC?)

So what can be learned from the ultimate line experiment

>>149571357
>

>>149571658
Probably meant to be a surprise reveal

>>149571593
She's literally dead unless they're introducing a different woman with Captain Marvel powers she's off the playing field

>>149571682
You sound gay and your shit is all whack

>>149571593
Replaced by the infinitely cooler Monica

>>149571593
Who?

>>149571675
I think she's supposed to be Okinawan but Peach draws her borderline Orange

>>149571597
>

>>149571682
Watch it end with Peter dying and Richard taking up the mantle

>>149571857
No because see >>149571513

>>149570888 (OP)
you fucking wot?
did they rollback to before jeph loeb shitted and raped everything?
no?
I sleep

>>149571350
>Universe gets reset to undo the Maker's changes to it and the storyline ends
>But we can't end it because it's among our few popular books
>Gotta keep selling it, but what do we write about?
>...
>Inspiration!
Marvel proudly presents the first issue of the new ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN, introducing a brand new story featuring PETER PARKER, alongside his friends and fellow heroes GWEN STACY and MILES MORALES as the one and only SPIDER-MAN, GHOST SPIDER, AND SPIDER-MAN.

>>149571628
You’d there would be some tie-ins or something

Cute Noriko.

>>149571618
Ultimates is terrible though

So how do you think they’re gonna set up after like would the universe still be fucked or is it gonna go back to how it should be?

>>149571827
Orangkinawan?

>>149571975
can't forget the BRAND NEW DAY tagline

>>149572016
I wonder if Ultimate Noriko having such a cute design and fun personality/compensated dating hobby is worth her constantly getting her ass kicked by Mei and the X-Girls

>>149571430
At this point they've given Miles more powers than that ms paint comic guy who has better abilities than anyone else to settle all nerd arguments.

>>149571975
>Note: Peter dies heroically in the next 'Spider-Verse: Return of the Inheritors' event.

>>149571897
JJ Abrams said the same thing before his Spider-Man book

>>149571682
This

>>149572279
>Samefagging.

>>149571371
Or worse, Zeb Wells

>>149571357
>not having Hickman write it when he writes the line's flagship title

>>149571682
Ah, I see the MMM (Marvel-Mephisto Mandate) has finally made its way to the Ultimate universe. About time.

>>149571625
Just like DC Rebirth

Can’t wait for usm to relaunch and the next writer to divorce Peter and mj because the spider office is fucking salty

>>149572863
They're so retarded.

>>149571763
The in real time shit was a mistake, pray they never do it again

>>149571718
>Line winding down for Ultimate Endgame, most likely to be brought back after it with no more real-time gimmick
Thank fuck.

>>149570982
I bet Miles will have learned enough Japanese to get by because he watches anime.

>>149572863
Yeah I'm curious how everything will inevitably trip over itself post relaunch

>>149572863
I like how everyone’s basically agreeing that the next writer is basically gonna fuck it all up

>>149573301
They weren't expecting it to succeed so magnificently, and have to do everything they can to poison that well.

>>149572315
Schizoposting?

>>149571309
I'm scared. Even if they do relaunch it there's a very good chance Hickman won't be writing it, and I don't trust any of Marvel's current writing staff to not immediately fuck this up.
God forbid if this book somehow finds itself beholden to the Spider-Man office. If this Peter ever finds himself in a Spider-Verse event it's over

>>149571309
idgaf what happens in USM but if that shit sinks so does the whole ship so for the first time in my life I'm hoping for good things to happen to Peter Benjamin Parker may god bless us all on this cruel and unusual day

>>149573071
they're going to use the new universe to inspire the new MCU universe, like how the old ultimate universe inspired the original MCU.

Mei misses her girlfriend.

>>149571309
This is worth blowing my brains out.
>>149571303
Richard is fucking dead.
