Marvel’s Ultimate line of comics is still the company’s best, as we’ve been reporting for an entire year and change now. The ULTIMATE UNIVERSE has been captivating comic readers with bold storytelling, unpredictable twists, and fascinating reinventions of Marvel icons including the hot new release of ULTIMATE WOLVERINE just this past week. Like those that came before it, the debut issue was a massive industry success, selling out and demanding a second printing.
With Marvel’s Ultimate Line entering its second year, a blockbuster event on the horizon, and the imminent return of the Maker, there’s a lot of a road map for what’s to come. Today, fans can peek ahead at the titles that will be available and coming in April, the month right before Free Comic Book Day.
