Marvel's new Ultimate line of comics continues to enthral readers with a bold take on the Marvel Universe, and more huge developments are coming our way this September.
Created by Jonathan Hickman and Bryan Hitch in last year's Ultimate Invasion, the new Ultimate Universe was designed by the Maker to be a world without superheroes. However, the Maker is no longer in control, and now, across four titles - Ultimate Spider-Man, Ultimate Black Panther, Ultimate X-Men, and Ultimates - new versions of iconic Marvel characters are reclaiming their destiny.
It's a storytelling foundation exploding with endless possibilities, and right now, you can get a sneak peek at the excitement to come with cover reveals and synopses for Ultimate Universe issues hitting stands in September.
That includes the new Sinister Six: in this reality, the group is comprised of The Kingpin, Black Cat, Kraven the Hunter, Mole Man, Mister Negative, and Mysterio.
It also sounds like we'll finally learn what the deal is with Reed Richards/Doom and how The Maker's machinations stopped the Fantastic Four from ever assembling...
