Discounting the one shot in November, the universe officially kicks off next week with spiderman
Preview Page from FCBD Spider-Man and The Ultimate Universe (it looks like ULTIMATES is going to be the next big title after the three launch titles):
"The Enigma Force is not a tool to be manipulated by mortals. The Enigma Force comes to those it deems worthy. What temerity, what arrogance, makes you think you are worthy? Have you not all made mistakes? Unforgiveable ones?" - Captain Universe
"Call me an Avenging Angel, Baron, come to safeguard Earth...call me CAPTAIN UNIVERSE!" - Ray Coffin
"You're my heart, Mary Jane Watson...you're my jackpot." - Peter Parker

It's nice to see marvel taking swings with this new universe in regards to creators. Getting Camp to do the ultimates book is a huge get, he seems to be a hot new indie writer. I wonder when the ultimates book drops. I also like the drip feed approach marvel is doing with the ongoings by dropping 1 new one each month, it could of been a dawn of x situation where they released all the books the same month.
Happy for Deniz Camp. I hope the team is more interesting than just the ones from Hickman’s one-shot. I don’t want yet another Tony and Reed show.

So for me it looks like 3 out of 4 might be worth checking out. Definitely going to read Ultimate Spider-man about the married Spidey, and Ultimates by Deniz Camp who I really enjoyed on Children of the Vault and also liked 20th Century Men as well. Will check out first few issues of Ultimate BP for Storm mainly. Not touching Ultimate X-men, however. The teen girl and anime focus clearly isn't targeting me as a reader. Which is fine. Hopefully it finds its audience.
“Not as good as I once was… but I’m as good, once, as I ever was.”
All of Hickman’s recruits will likely show up again, Black Panther will probably join at some point when Hill is open to it. But some of the obvious choices (Hulk, Wasp, Ant-Man) are no goes and I’m expecting at least one other wild curveball on par with DoomReed. Hey since Hulk is a bad guy in 6160, why not have Abomination join? That could be cool.
