Marvel's new Ultimate line continues to top the charts, "helping bring new and returning fans to the comic shop month after month" (that's according to Marvel Comics, anyway, though sales have been strong).
Today, we have news on what the creators behind the five ongoing titles have brewing with the reveal of June's issues, including the start of the second year of Deniz Camp and Juan Frigeri's Ultimates. That will have a special "One Year In: Foil Variant Cover by Benjamin Su.
The stakes have never been higher as the interconnected narrative behind this bold new universe ramps up to The Maker's return. In addition, June sees the launch of the line’s first limited series, Ultimate Spider-Man: Incursion, a five-issue saga that sees Miles Morales collide with the Ultimate Universe, teaming up with the stars of each series in a sprawling crossover adventure.
The biggest news, however, might be the fact Peter Parker's son, Richard, has seemingly become a Spider-Man in his own right. That's courtesy of the wall-crawler's Symbiote-like Picotech suit gifted to him by Tony Stark and Reed Richards.
Here's a full breakdown of what to expect from June's Ultimate titles:
MILES MORALES CAUGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF A UNIVERSAL COLLISION! Before the Maker remade Earth-6160, he left Miles Morales the key to reach his new universe…and when Miles’ baby sister, Billie, uses it to travel to the Ultimate Universe, it’s up to Spider-Man to save her! But the Ultimate Universe is never safe for any Spider-Man! When the Spot attacks, Miles will have to team up with an all-new Peter Parker – and that’s just the start of his journey across Earth-6160...
