Marvel has released a first look at Ultimate Universe: Finale #1.
THE ULTIMATE GOODBYE… Following the events of Ultimate Endgame #5, the creative teams of all the Ultimate books come together one last time to say farewell…
Out June 10, it’s by Deniz Camp and Juan Frigeri; Jonathan Hickman and Marco Checchetto; Bryan Edward Hill and Stefano Caselli; Chris Condon and Alessandro Cappuccio; and Peach Momoko.
With a target on the back of Spider-Man and the entire Morales family, Miles Morales will need to dig deeper than ever before to protect his neighborhood and those he loves as the superstar team of writer Bryan Edward Hill and artist Nico Leon kick off a new era in August’s Miles Morales: Spider-Man #1.
Upon returning to Brooklyn after a chaotic trip to the Ultimate Universe, Miles is inundated with the trials and tribulations of the teenage superhero struggle – fighting through supervillains (and homework) and still finding time for date night or dinner with the folks. So, it’s a bit of an unwelcome surprise when a dangerous secret from his father’s S.H.I.E.L.D. past returns with a vengeance and threatens the lives of everyone he holds dear.
THE NEXT ERA OF MILES MORALES: SPIDER-MAN STARTS NOW!
MILES MORALES is back in black (and red)! SPIDER-MAN thinks he has it allllll handled: homework, super-villains…a new school crush?? No, no—Miles’ is focused on what matters: helping the good folks of Brooklyn. Friendly. Neighborhood. Spider-Manning at his best! But a vengeful villain from Jeff Morales’ past with SHIELD threatens to destroy not only Spider-Man—but the entire Morales family!

Announced at New York Comic Con, Marvel Comics’ Ultimate Universe concludes next year, bringing an end to a line of blockbuster titles that ignited the industry with bold storytelling and captivating new versions of iconic characters.
During Marvel’s “Next Big Thing Panel,” Head of Marvel Comics and Franchise Dan Buckley, Editor in Chief C.B. Cebulski, Senior Editor Wil Moss, Ultimates writer Deniz Camp, and Ultimate Wolverine writer Chris Condon revealed information on the final issues of all five Ultimate titles to a room of surprised fans: Ultimate Spider-Man #24 in December, Ultimate Black Panther #24 in January, Ultimate X-Men #24 in February, and Ultimates #24 and Ultimate Wolverine #16 in April.
Marvel’s new Ultimate Universe began in June 2023 with Jonathan Hickman and Bryan Hitch’s Ultimate Invasion. The Maker, a dark version of Reed Richards from the original Ultimate Universe, created a world without heroes. Despite his meticulous planning, heroes like Spider-Man and the Ultimates still rose to embrace their destinies—but the trajectory of their journeys were radically altered…
In Ultimate Spider-Man, an older, wiser Peter Parker balanced web-slinging with his responsibilities as a husband and father. In Ultimate X-Men, a group of students in Japan developed strange abilities. Ultimate Black Panther saw Khonshu go to war against the isolated nation of Wakanda. In Ultimates, Iron Lad built a network of heroes to restore freedom to a world ruled from the shadows. And in Ultimate Wolverine, a man named Logan is the Maker’s most lethal weapon: the Winter Soldier!
Ever since the beginning, the Ultimate Universe was built with a predetermined endpoint—the Maker’s return from captivity! The Maker’s release kicks off Ultimate Endgame, a five-issue event series launching in December that brings this interconnected universe together for a climactic showdown.
Told in real time month to month, the Ultimate Universe was an ambitious storytelling project that exceeded all expectations. Now, it ends on a definitive high point, delivering a complete, groundbreaking saga that can be enjoyed by comic fans for generations to come.
The Ultimate Universe will leave its mark on the main Marvel Universe in the way of “Origin Boxes,” the very devices the Maker used to rob legendary heroes of their powers. In Ultimate Spider-Man: Incursion #5, on sale later this month, Miles Morales will swing back to the 616 with a handful of these boxes, setting the stage for new heroes and storylines throughout 2026.
Check out the covers for Ultimate Spider-Man #24, Ultimate Black Panther #24, and Ultimate X-Men #24, and stay tuned for future cover reveals for Ultimates and Ultimate Wolverine, including the final issues. Don’t miss Ultimate Endgame #1, which marks this historic moment with the debut of Marvel’s first-ever Blind Bag program!
