The Weekly Pull : The Ultimate Universe - The End
It's been rumored for quite some time now that the Ultimate universe would be meeting it's inevitable demise. With two of the three remaining Ultimate titles slated for cancelation (Ultimate FF & All-New Ultimates) the sole surviving series, Miles Morales : The Ultimate Spider-Man, would remain the sole survivor. Miles has made an appearance more than once in the 616 continuum within the pages of the crossover mini-series Spider-Men and monthly All-New X-Men titles, and given his popularity, opens the possibility that he may find a new home when the end arrives in Summer 2015.

Although poor sales mark the primary reason for the Ultimate line going the way of the dinosaur, the line will always have significant meaning as the one time savior of the Marvel Universe. Long before Disney purchased Marvel, the Ultimate Universe helped freshen and save the Marvel brand in a time where it's future was strongly in question due to bankruptcy and creative struggles.
Superstar writers Brian Michael Bendis and Mark Miller changed the game in 2000 when Ultimate Spider-Man, Ultimate X-Men and The Ultimates hit the stands, bringing a fresh take on classic heroes with a modern twist. Many of these modern concepts inspired filmmakers and key story points found their way into Bryan Fullers' X2, Joss Whedon's The Avengers and rumor has it that the Fantasioc Four reboot next summer is almost entirely based on the Ultimate Fantastic Four storyline.
Having already faced the likes of Thanos, Galactus and Kang the Conquerer, the question still remains - who will bring the end of the Ultimate Universe?
Will it be hero or villain? Will a cosmic entity come into play? Is this truly the end of the Ultimate Universe or just a rouse? Sound off in the comments below and let me know your thoughts!
Until next time True Believers,
