Spinning out of Ultimate Invasion, Marvel Comics has revealed the next chapter of Jonathan Hickman’s epic with an unlettered preview of Ultimate Universe #1! Set to release November 1st, the saga picks up with Iron Lad and Doctor Doom.
“What made the Ultimate Universe originally really interesting was that it was a reflection of the world outside your window, in the moment that you were living in. What does it look like in the world we’re living in now?” Hickman said. “It’s kind of shocking how much the world has changed in that period of time. The idea of what it would be like to see the genesis of Super Heroes in a brand new world is a really fascinating exercise.”
