I wanted to talk about the Ultimate Universe and how it is seemingly forgotten about. I know Ultimate Spider-Man's flame burns the brightest and Miles has been fully incorporated into 616. Also, Ultimate Reed Richards and Wolverine's son are running around the 616 verse. Everything else though, down the memory hole.
I was hoping Marvel would rerelease their titles in either deluxe hardcover or omnibus format. I know they recently rereleased Mark Millar's Ultimates omnibus and BMB's Ultimate Spider-Man omnibus (covering 40 issues out of 160) for Peter is getting a reprint release this fall.
Hickman's Ultimates run, Ultimate X-Men (pre and post Ultimatum), the rest of Bendis' run on Ultimate Spider-Man, Warren Ellis' books in the 1610 universe, and Ultimate FF are just MIA.
At this point, I feel the Ultimate universe has pretty much run it's course. But in it's day, it certainly had some hitters and hadn't reached it's full potential. Before Ultimatum came along and derailed it's progress in a malicious way.
How about you? Is anyone else nostalgic for the Ultimate Universe or have something to say about it, all they years later?
