Hickman Ultimate Universe (Earth 6160) General Discussion and Spoilers

[Thor-Ul]

Leaning towards Ultimates currently, but obviously the world has changed dramatically from the days when the Avengers were not a brand anyone cared about.

I remember to read than one of the reasons to change the name of the team to The Ultimates it was to avoid any relation with the 1998 Avengers movie (you, with the british Avengers) to not scare any potential Hollywood investor.

Aaron is at DC now and has said he won’t be doing any ongoings for the foreseeable future. Gillen seems set to return to his indie work. Hickman is probably going to be recruiting up and comers and serving as Showrunner for them. Long as he is on USM I think that will be enough to sustain interest in the line. Certainly worked for X-Men after all..

So Hickman is changing the paradigm. Lets see if works again.

My hunch is the Illuminati will be involved once the Maker finally exits the City in two years. Whether Hickman plans to do that in two years real time, or if he intends for that to be the big endgame for this universe and will delay it for as long as the line is a success, remains to be seen.

Two years to see if this works or flop is a good measurent. We will see if it is really a New Ultimate or a New New Universe.

Wonder how the climax of this universe will work, will the 616 Illuminati find their way into this world to put a stop to the Maker once and for all once he’s free again, or will the new Ultimates and Ultimate heroes gather to take down the corrupt government? The Maker did this to make a point to 616 Reed, he’s probably going to try to find him again, the 616 Illuminati know he’s up to no good.
