| Could these be among the last isssues of the latest Ultimate Universe? |
The latest line of Ultimate books have been following an interesting trend where they almost all each take place within a month (putting aside flashbacks or how Ultimate X-Men is the worst of the books and seems quite trashy with its timeline). This has made sense as at the end of the mini-series that kicked off this latest Ultimate Universe ("Ultimate Invasion") the Maker--who altered this dimension--was locked away in a time-bubble of sorts for 24 months.
It has been apparent a timer is ticking down so-to-speak, but these new Ultimate books have been a surprise big hit--with, "Ultimate Spider-Man," especially getting rave reviews (and selling numerous copies). Some talents at Marvel have said everything ends when that 24 months is up, and other creators have disputed that. Could Marvel actually shut down this latest Ultimate Universe against all logic and financial sense, or is it more likely that we will have a big event followed by a bunch of relaunches and renumberings? Probably the latter is more likely than the former, but it would be a legit shock if Marvel counted down, did a big event, and blew it all up like the first Ultimate Universe that the Maker hails from. It is extremely unlikely, but whatever happens when the Maker emerges back into this latest Ultimate Universe, we will have had a solid two years of some snazzy storytelling across a bunch of series and one-shots...plus the, "Ultimate X-Men," book too. We shall see.
