First Look: SURVIVE #1

Who Withstood the Cataclysm? Your First Look at SURVIVE #1!

No Caption Provided

This March, the Ultimate Universe attempts to rebuild from total devastation at the hands of Galactus. But with every ending there comes a new beginning – and the next stage of the Ultimate Universe starts here! Today, Marvel is pleased to present your first look at SURVIVE #1 from the blockbuster creative team of Brian Michael Bendis and Joe Quinones!

Galactus, the Devourer of Worlds descended upon the Ultimate Universe with an insatiable hunger. Though he was defeated by the bravery of a small band of heroes – the cost was devastatingly high. New York City lays a smoldering ruin, and not everyone made it back alive. Many of the Ultimates are dead – and the remaining heroes are all beaten, broken, and emotionally drained.

“You’ve got all these characters [that] have been through hell together and now they’re coming out the other side and they’re kind of committed to each other, now that Captain America’s gone and some other characters aren’t making it back,” says writer Brian Michael Bendis in an interview with Marvel.com.

“A lot of these characters are very young, and with that comes a lot of emotion, a lot of drama, a lot of people making some disastrous mistakes both in their professional and in their personal lives; and all of that will be on display right away.”

Witness the birth of a new team of Ultimates! Who survived the fury of Galactus? Who didn’t make it out alive? What will become of S.H.I.E.L.D? The future of the Ultimate Universe is happening now! All your questions will be answered this March in SURVIVE #1!

SURVIVE #1 (JAN140748)

Written by BRIAN MICHAEL BENDIS

Haters complaining about the UU can leave! Yes, the UU is a completely different place and nearly unrecognizable than it was pre-ultimatum but even so it's still a great comics line and in most cases the stories in here are better than the main stream series.

I may be in the minority here but I support what the Ultimate Universe is doing, some may be upset about the fact that a lot of teen characters are going to be the stars (Miles, Kitty, Cloak, Dagger, etc.) But I think the Ultimate Universe is doing just what an alternate universe should. Provide us with an alternate universe. Why do we need two Captain Americas, 2 Thors, 2 Peter Parkers? I wouldn't be surprise if someone down the line decides to become a new Captain America.

Thirded. I wish they could somehow bring the Ultraverse into the Ultimate Universe and make it even more separate from 616

WOW! Someone beside me remember the Ultraverse *____* you are a TRUE True Beliver! :)

I will bet cash money that the smoldering ruins of New York will be repaired in about 2 months.

I'm excited about the Ultimate Ghost Rider turning into the Ultimate Machine Man other than that I'm a little disappointed there's no new Ultimate X-Men book, that was my big intro to comics back in the day.

Johnny was the Ultimate Ghost Rider not Danny. He was just codenamed the Ghost and could breathe fire. I'm disappointed as well that there isn't an Ultimate X-Men book though I'm just hoping this is just because nothing it really changing the book.

@_nexus_: Exactly, the Ultimate Universe is the inspiration for the Cinematic Universe, even the 616 Universe has become more like the Ultimate Universe. 616 Cap is basically Ultimate Cap, same thing with Hawkeye, I mean do people have a problem with innovation?

@micah: I don't understand how the Ultimate Universe could be so low in sales when nearly every single Marvel movie has drawn inspiration for character design, plot elements, and more from the Ultimate universe. (Amazing Spider-man 1 & 2, Avengers, the FF reboot is going to be based off the ultimate-verse)

@_nexus_: I care about Ultimate Falcon, he's a more badass/intelligent version of his 616 self. Not sure on Ultimate Machine Man only time will tell, but apparently Reed Richards will join the team, so that's pretty cool

I am excited for All New Ultimates but as for All new Ultimate FF not so much the uniform look like crap the team looks wimpy Iron Man and Invisible Woman are good but the other two no one cares for.

I personally do not like the x-men being teenagers, it would be better if they were young adults in between their early to late 20s. Because of the machinations of Jeph Loeb through the event that shall not be named (Ultimatum) where the most interesting characters were killed off without any mean or reason at all and it left it confusing. Will the relaunch of the ultimate universe be good as it was? perhaps not, but i just have to wait and see.

@kamionero: each event shaves from some of the readership and makes it more inaccessible to new readers. there is also little things like shifting house styles which make the book stand out less on the shelves. Frankly Im Surprised its gone on this long, i get the impression marvel is trying to get rid of but at the same time extract as much money out its remaining readership.

If Ultimate Cap has been permanently killed-off, I'm gonna set somebody's face on fire.

I don't like this weird new UU with all these weird teenagers.

I think Cataclysm is the end note for my UU reading, Veshark.

You're a braver man than I, RB. I left the UU once Hunger happened...

@maddpanda531: I Know, I honestly think if Ultimatum had not happened, the Ultimate Universe would eventually overtaken the 616 universe, but you should read the last arc of Ultimate Comics: The Ultimates, its really good

I'm I the only more concerned about Ultimate Frank Castle? I feel like Cap is still probably alive.

And Thor will be back, no way he couldn't so calm down y'all :)
