In the new Ultimate Universe, The Maker, a deranged alternate version of Reed Richards, manipulated his way through the timestream to create a world without superheroes. However, when he emerges from captivity in 16 months, he’s in for a rude awakening.
In his absence, superheroes, nations, and young mutants are reclaiming their destiny in four hit titles: Jonathan Hickman and Marco Checchetto's Ultimate Spider-Man, Bryan Hill and Stefano Caselli's Ultimate Black Panther, Peach Momoko's Ultimate X-Men, and Deniz Camp and Juan Frigeri's Ultimates.
Today, you can get a sneak peek at what's to come in Marvel's new Ultimate line this November. The cover reveals and synopses for November's issues spotlight the debut of the Ultimate Black Cat and the fact she's been race-swapped is already generating discussion among fans.
There's nothing to say this is Felicia Hardy, of course, and even if it is...who cares? There's really no reason not to make this change in an alternate reality and a greater level of diversity and inclusion in comics has been the Marvel Comics ethos from the very beginning.
We also get learn about a showdown between the Ultimates and Hulk; more revelations behind the origin of mutants in the Ultimate Universe; and a strange new ally joining Wakanda in its war against Khonshu's forces.
THE BLACK PANTHER AND THE STRANGE DOCTOR? A prison break brings unlikely aid to Wakanda, but is this new ally a reliable confidant? Or does the godly Moon Knight have more to offer?
