Marvel made it official today with the last piece of their Ultimate line relaunch being put into place. Ultimate Spiderman, the flagship title of the Ultimate U for the past decade will officially relaunch with a number 1 issue after that somewhat aborted attempt at a rebranding last year ('ultimate comics')
The lineup is going to look like this.
Jonathan Hickman - Ultimates
Nick Spencer - X-Men
Bendis - Spiderman
That's a heavy-hitter lineup right there... and they're all guys who will get the books out on time (i'm looking at you Mr. Loeb). I think I'm down for all these. How about you?
That line-up is absolutely awesome. Hickman's work on Secret Warriors has been some of the most exciting writing in the past couple years. This is gonna be a great re-launch.
ReplyDeleteI love Hickman, I want to read his Ultimates, but Marvel is scaring me away with their cover prices. I'm on a budget here. If I pooped money I'd be all over this but for now... I'm going to have to pass, as tempting as it is to get in on the ground floor of this.
ReplyDeleteI might read the trades in the future...
The artists are Esad Ribic on Ultimates, Paco Medina on Ultimate X Men and Sara Pichelli on Spiderman.
