When the words “Ultimate Universe” are spoken you sometimes think of two things. How “Ultimate Spider-Man is the best”, and “how edgy, weird, and dark the rest of the Ultimate Universe was”. It’s a legacy that has been attached to this brand since the beginning, and it continues to be attached to this “New Ultimate Universe” as we move foreword. Maybe that’s why some people may have some reservations and questions if this is a continuation. Well let me remind you tell you that this universe is something NEW and DIFFERENT. Definitely an inspiration of the old ultimate universe, but a new vision developed by Jonathan Hickman. Who is created a new marvel universe with some modern overtones, but with a more cynical beginning then Jack and Stan’s more bombastic start. Featuring a world that is devoid of super heroes, and lead by super-powered people. Thus beginning a new start for these heroes in this new universe.
Now with all this said and done why should you care about this new universe if it’s not a continuation, and if it’s just another alternate universe story? Because to me I feel like this is a new way to revitalize characters that we love and tell new stories. Now we do that all the time but the difference is that with a brand like the ultimate universe we can develop these characters further and not just repeat the same arcs over and over. Say what you will about 616 Peter growing up and changing, but to harken back to the old ultimate universe it felt like Peter’s character really got to change and had more freedom to develop. This kind of legacy can continue to strength this new ultimate universe especially with reboots of familiar titles like Ultimate Spider-man, Ultimate X-Men, and even new versions like Ultimate Black Panther. Bringing in familiar characters but refreshing and creating new stories for today!
That’s why I am encouraging all the comic lovers, all the people that wish to see cool and new stories , all the people who wish for their favorite characters to change and morph, and everyone in general to pick up these books and support this New Ultimate Universe!!! Have these books sell more then Amazing Spider-Man and Batman, show the comic distributors that we want more of this. All I ask is for you all to give this a try. It’s okay if this isn’t your thing or if your not interested. I just wanted to voice my opinion and maybe interest some people! So good night, good morning, and good day to anyone reading this!
