This May, feel the fallout from the end of the Ultimate Universe in Reborn: Ultimate Impact, a five-issue saga by Chris Condon and Stefano Caselli.
The series will debut all new characters empowered by Origin Boxes. Each character will be spotlighted on special First Appearance Variant Covers for issue one. Check out the first two by Caselli now!
Reborn: Ultimate Impact arrives May 20, 2026.
Following the final issue of Ultimate Endgame in April, Reborn: Ultimate Impact will reveal the Ultimate Universe’s lasting effect on the main Marvel Universe. Written by Chris Condon and drawn by Stefano Caselli, the five-issue limited series spins out of last year’s hit Ultimate Spider-Man: Incursion series where the Ultimate Universe collided with the 616 and ended with Miles Morales returning home with mysterious “Origin Boxes,” special devices used to create the heroes of the Ultimate Universe. Originally weaponized by the Maker to rob characters of their heroic destinies, each Origin Box holds all that’s needed to grant specific power sets to whoever dares to open it—from the mighty abilities of legendary super heroes to the deadly capabilities of the world’s fiercest supervillains!
In Miles Morales: Spider-Man #42, a special teaser story revealed that the race to obtain the Origin Boxes had already begun! When Miles is targeted by shadowy forces eager to use their power for themselves, the Origin Boxes will be scattered across the Marvel Universe, giving birth to new heroes and villains with familiar powers, but very different journeys! Origin Boxes will also play a key role in the upcoming Armageddon event, starting with next month’s prelude series, Wolverine: Weapons of Armageddon by Chip Zdarsky and Luca Maresca.
FALLOUT FROM ULTIMATE ENDGAME!
Miles Morales returned from the Ultimate Universe with a plan: safeguard the Origin Boxes – catalysts for the creation of new super heroes – before they fall into the wrong hands! But the secret is out as Miles’ battle over the boxes engulfs the entire Marvel Universe! Witness the creation of stunning and unforgettable new characters on both sides of a conflict that will shape the future of the 616!
Check out Ben Harvey’s cover and stay tuned for more news about Reborn: Ultimate Impact, including the reveal of its all-new characters.

ALL IS NOT WELL IN WAKANDA! Will Erik Killmonger become the new Black Panther? What do the Vodu-Khan want with Storm? What, exactly, does the prophecy about this Child of Light entail?
This March, the X-Men come together to build a new way for mutantkind to thrive in X-Men United! The previously-teased series, part of the line’s upcoming Shadows of Tomorrow era, will be by written by Eve L. Ewing, following her acclaimed work on Exceptional X-Men, and drawn by Tiago Palma, the rising star who made his Marvel Comics debut earlier this year in New Avengers.
The ambitious series unites the entire X-tapestry—from different generations, factions, and eras—under one, eXciting initiative, turning the classic concept of a school for mutants on its head with the introduction of Graymatter Lane! Founded by Emma Frost and with faculty including Wolverine, Magneto, Beast, Rogue and Storm and guest instructors from throughout the Marvel Universe, Graymatter Lane is more than simply an academy—it’s the central hub for mutant interaction across the world and beyond! This venture represents a bold undertaking that requires all hands on deck, but not all of the X-Men are ready to embrace the idea of another mutant institute for higher learning!
WELCOME TO GRAYMATTER LANE… LEARN TO SURVIVE THE EXPERIENCE!
“Build a school,” Charles Xavier told them, and the X-Men have done so—but in a manner nobody saw coming! Welcome to Graymatter Lane, a place where mutants anywhere in the world can come together in unity to teach one another the skills needed for their survival! With the greatest of the X-Men as teachers and a campus unlike any before seen, it’s the crossroads of the X-Universe as a student body from across the globe works to take mutantkind to the next step in their evolution—and to cope with a brewing threat to all of their number!
X-Men United #1 will feature connecting covers by Stefano Caselli, the very piece used at New York Comic Con to announce the X-Men’s exciting Shadows of Tomorrow era! It arrives to shelves March 11, 2026!
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!
