Hickman on Ultimate Comics: Ultimates #1! Hell yeah!

The only way this could be better is if Hickman was writing the 616 Avengers.

The cast will feature Nick Fury, Iron Man, Thor, Spider-Woman, Hulk and others to be named. There will however be NO Captain America.

First arc is called "The Republic is Burning"

I'll be buying Ultimates.

[Balfro]

I wonder why they're changing the team roster again? I mean sure they are going back to their original name, but for some reason I don't see Spider-Woman being an Ultimate. Plus I hope they keep Lang and Chang...

I don't like how they keep saying rebirth of the Ultimate Universe

OOOO Ultimates is an ongoing title!

[Balfro]

I don't like how they keep saying rebirth of the Ultimate Universe

Yeah but it's not being rebooted, or so they seem to imply. I figure it's their word to describe the whole UNIFICATION process they're attempting, and it's a good way to bring in new readers.

I'm so down for this. And I'm going to say that I bet 'REBORN' means more in the sense that the Universe is going to be getting more attention now.

Surprised that Cap won't be in the Ultimates. Likely means that Jason Aaron will be writing an Ultimate Cap book.

im really looking forward to them all sort of tying into each other I will say

"I can't promise, but I believe this series will come out more than 12 times during its first year." -Jonathan Hickman

woo my question got asked!

[Skaddix]

I wonder what books we get besides Ultimates. Maybe Avengers, F4, and an X-men book. Plus whatever replaces Spidey.

[Balfro]

Looks like they might change the way some of the characters look though :( Hope it isn't too drastic.

Wait a second... How is Jessica on the team? She's the exact same age as Peter and he had to be 18 before joining! Also I just realized that Fury will be in charge again... I like this and don't at the same time... I thought Danvers was a fine Director.

Clones are treated differently I guess.

[Balfro]

There will be both versions of classic Marvel characters making their Ultimate debuts as well as all-new Ultimate-only characters.

Always a good thing :D
