For the past decade Marvel's Ultimate Comics Universe have been immensely popular and in 2011 the Ultimate Universe will take it to the next level. Brian Michael Bendis and Mark Millar are responsible for the creation of this universe ten years ago, now they will team up to tell Spider-Man's "Ultimate Story".
Bendis, who stared Ultimate Spider-Man back in 2000 and has faithfully been writing this book since then, says this about Marvel's announcement:
Ultimates, Ultimates 2 and Ultimate Comics Avengers writer Mark Millar adds this:"As a group and as individuals we have made a conscious effort to create stories this year that no one has ever seen before. I am very. very proud to be a part of this storyline and very proud of Marvel for even attempting such a bold endeavor. Sit back as we unveil a storyline unlike any other!!"
Recently, the cover of Marvel Previews for February (left) was leaked and it raised a lot of questions, now we know that the most ambitious story Ultimate Comics story yet is related to the question: Will Spider-Man Die in February?"This is the biggest, boldest thing we've attempted in the ten years since we kicked this line off. This is the one thing that could be bigger than the creation of the Ultimate line and it's great to be a part of it. Being part of something like this is once in a lifetime opportunity and soon you'll all get to read the story we've written for you. This should be up there with the very small number of events that really mattered. This is going to be big."
This February the story will begin in Ultimate Comics Spider-Man and Ultimate Avengers vs New Ultimates
