The Maker, a deranged alternate version of Reed Richards, manipulated his way through the timestream to create a world without super heroes, but when he emerges from captivity in 16 months, he’s in for a rude awakening! In his absence, super heroes, 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, fans can peek ahead at what’s to come in Marvel’s bold new Ultimate line this October.
The cover reveals and synopses for October’s issues tease the debut of the latest hero that the Ultimates seek to inspire—HAWKEYE; a team-up between the unexpected but instantly iconic best friend duo UNCLE BEN and J. JONAH JAMESO; BLACK PANTHER getting a mystical power-up thanks to the mysterious anti-vibranium; and ARMOR, MAYSTORM, and their fellow mutants banding together to discover the origin and extent of their powers.
