January's ULTIMATE Comics Will Feature Kraven's Ultimate Hunt, The Ultimate Guardians Of The Galaxy, And More

Marvel Comics has shared a first look at next January's Ultimate titles, including a big Kraven the Hunter tease, the rise of a new X-Men, and the debut of the all-new Ultimate Guardians of the Galaxy...

The new Ultimate Universe was created by the Maker, a deranged alternate-reality version of Reed Richards, to be a world without superheroes. Manipulating his way through the timestream to rob our favourite characters of their destinies, the Maker and his Council rule the earth from the shadows, twisting the truth to ensure their domination.

Recently, the Maker has been put in a 16-month captivity. When he emerges, he'll find a new generation of heroes ready to fight back, and we've learned today that the Guardians of the Galaxy will be among them. 

The cover reveals and synopses for January's issues spotlight the debut of the Ultimate version of that team, the climactic showdown between Black Panther and Moon Knight, Kraven's Ultimate Hunt; and the X-Men's rise as a new band of mutant superheroes.

Hailing from the far future, the new Guardians consist of Star-Lord, Captain Marvel, Ultimate Nullifier, and Cosmo. These galactic heroes have travelled across time and space to find their missing teammates and the secrets they know about the universe's hidden past may prove vital to the Ultimates' mission to take down the Maker.

"The creative goal we set for ourselves on Ultimates - in addition to telling complete stories every issue - was to create (or recreate) characters interesting enough to sustain readers' imaginations and their own series, if they had to," Ultimates writer Deniz Camp said today. "Whether we've succeeded on either count is up to the readers to decide, but the reaction so far has been really special."

"Issue eight introduces the Ultimate Guardians of the Galaxy, and I hope readers enjoy meeting the heroes of the future as much as I enjoyed writing them," he teased. "It's our most cosmic issue to date, the life and death of universes in 20 pages, and explores new sides of the Ultimate Universe through Ultimate America Chavez, who has quickly become a favorite of mine."

Here's what's to come next year...

@DTor91 - It’s Hickman. He’s had the game on lock for over a decade now.

Not crazy about Ultimate X-Men so far, but the rest of this new Ultimate line has been solid so far, especially Ultimate Spider-Man, which is just gold.

@0bstreperous - but the whole point is to be different? So what does this even mean?

comicfan100 - 10/1/2024, 4:27 PM
@0bstreperous - Why would you want it to be more of the same when the originals are still in publication?
0bstreperous
0bstreperous - 10/1/2024, 4:49 PM
@ShimmyShimmyYA - the original Ultimates 1 and 2 are my favorite comics the modernized marvel not this pulling out of their ass studf

@comicfan100 - DC looks even worse they should focus on story first not "ooh look over here" crap
comicfan100
comicfan100 - 10/1/2024, 5:54 PM
@0bstreperous - And who's to say they aren't? Are you actually reading these stories?
ShimmyShimmyYA
ShimmyShimmyYA - 10/2/2024, 9:52 AM
@0bstreperous - this is clearly planned out. So idk if actually hits that description

I get not being a fan but being dissuaded cause it’s intentionally not just a rehash of 616 is odd to me

0bstreperous - 10/2/2024, 1:19 PM
@ShimmyShimmyYA - I don't know what I'm asking for in comics I just want simple stories like Mark Millar and Bendis under Joe Quesada Banner

The ultimate GOTG team looks really cool, but Ultimate Nullifier is a stupid name.

@comicfan100 - Hell ya, I know: you just spread a big 'ol handful of *censored* on your *censored* and your *censored* (don't forget to get it up under your *censored* and then just hit that *censored* with all the *censored* *censored* and *censored* that you've got before you flip that *consored* over and go to town on that *censored* and *censored* then finally finishing it up with a bit of *censored* on the *censored*. And THAT'S how you do an Ultimate Nomifier.

Wait, we were talking about roasting a turkey, right? OH, Nullifier not Nomifier. I'll go now.
