Month after month, Marvel's Ultimate Universe has captivated comic book readers with bold storytelling, unpredictable twists, and fascinating reinventions of Marvel icons.
Just last week, the line's newest ongoing series launched - Ultimate Wolverine - with the first issue revealing that Logan had been transformed into the brainwashed Winter Soldier. Like those that came before it, the debut issue was a massive success, selling out and demanding a second printing.
With other Ultimate series entering their second year, a blockbuster event on the horizon, and the imminent return of the Maker, now is the time to dive into these acclaimed titles and see what the buzz is about.
Today, you can get a glimpse ahead at what's to come in April, including exciting developments like the origin of Ultimate Mysterio in Ultimate Spider-Man, a battle against Ultimate Loki in Ultimates, the return of the Shadow King in Ultimate X-Men, and more.
Here's everything you need to know about what's in store for us a few months from now...
