It serves me right for not checking this forum more often. I basically stopped when i dropped ff and ultimates and just kept mmusm.
Then as i try to figure out what secret wars is all about i find out hickman's Ultimates story is basically continuing in avengers! This is great. Just a few days ago I was telling someone how great Hickman's Ultimates run was and how disappointed i was when it ended as he built so much in that short time, especially because it could have been such a great epic and it would have eventually reached a larger audience if it had continued. Now that he's linked it to his acengers run, his entire ultimate comics ultimates run will be read by those who want the full story leading up to secret wars.
It also means that if the end of ultimate comics is really here, it'll be going out with a deservedly badass story, not just fizzling out after all the books get cancelled.
