The Ultimate Marvel Universe Returns with New "Ultimate Invasion" Series By Jonathan Hickman and Bryan Hitch

 

After disappearing for almost a decade following the events of the 2015 event "Secret Wars", Marvel Comics is returning to the Ultimate Marvel Universe and teasing a "transformation" of everything else with the four part limited series "Ultimate Invasion" - which will be written by Jonathan Hickman (who wrote Secret Wars) and illustrated by "The Ultimates" artist himself, Bryan Hitch.

Launched in the early 2000's, the Ultimate universe was Marvel's new imprint that allowed creators to tell new stories of the iconic characters that have been long associated with the House of Ideas. Spider-Man, the X-Men, the Avengers, and even the Fantastic Four were all reimagined and made with modern sensibilities in mind, and the universe even dared to introduce new status quos and replacements. - most prominent being Miles Morales as the new Spider-Man and making Reed Richards into a mad interdimensional villain known as The Maker. Those characters will play a part of course in "Ultimate Invasion", which is set to begin this June 2023!
