February 18, 2009 will wrap up the Ultimate X-Men series with issue #100. The same day sees the end of Ultimate Fantastic Four which had a mildly interesting 60-issue run. The end of the series ties directly into Ultimatum from Marvel, which seems to be hell-bent on destroying the Ultimate Universe that spawned the whole Marvel Zomibe craze. I’ve done a little digging, but after the last round of solicitations from Marvel, I’m more convinced all of Ultimate U is ending when Ultimate Spider-Man reaches issue #133.

If you’ve read the latest issue of Ultimatum #2, you know that someone else on the list got his neck broken on the last page. Let’s see, Wasp starts with W, and what letter comes after W?
The $3.99 issue is still on sale, and is worth checking out if you are even remotely familiar with the characters in the Ultimate Universe.
Guess I missed that bit – must have happened in Ultimate X-Men, because it didn’t happen in Ultimatum #1.
Marvel sent its own Top 5 list to Major Spoilers, letting everyone know why you must read Ultimatum.
I especially like number 1 – FOREVER! (until the next big event). Is anyone else tired of that phrase’s overuse? I also like number 5, as it means no more annoying Mary Jane… or does it? I half expect that to mean everyone will become mutants.
Ultimatum #1 arrives November 5, 2008, and features a cover price of $3.99.
Marvel Comics has announced fans of the Ultimate Universe can read the March on Ultimatum Saga #1 for “free” on the Marvel Digital Comics Unlimited site.
MARCH ON ULTIMATUM SAGA

I find it interesting that in order to read this “free” book, you have to sign up for an account, which requires you to pay for a monthly or yearly fee. Your best bet is to head to your LCS and see if the owner has any free copies left over from last week.
With the rumors about a reboot or cancellation of some or all of Marvel’s Ultimate titles, you can bet there were lots of people attending the Marvel Ultimate Panel at San Diego Comic Con. Take the jump for the highlights.
For fans of the Marvel Ultimate line, the Ultimate Origins could be the beginning of the end, or the beginning of the beginning. The series will reveal how everything is connected, and to get you primed for the June 4th release, Marvel Comics has sent Major Spoilers a sneak peek of the first issue.
Time for the second half of Marvel sneak peeks arriving in stores this week. Today we bring you NOVA 6, PUNISHER WAR JOURNAL 11, SPIDER-MAN FAIRY TALES 4, THE LONERS 5, THOR 3, ULTIMATE POWER 7, ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN 113, ULTIMATE X-MEN 86, X-FACTOR 23, and X-MEN: EMPEROR VULCAN 1.

I really like the ultimate universe. It doesn’t have the heavy baggage from 616 and it’s easier to jump on as a new reader. Marvel has sent Major Spoilers a sneak peek of Ultimate X-Men #84 that gets Bishop hoping to kick some butt.
