First of all there will be the new All-New Ultimates title with a team consisting of Miles Morales (Ultimate Spider-Man), Black Widow (Formerly Spider-Woman), Cloak & Dagger, Kitty Pryde and Bombshell. This new team consists of several Bendis written heroes spinning out of his current Ultimate Comics: Ultimate Spider-Man series along with the addition of Kitty Pryde, who at the moment seems to be the only Ultimate X character to survive. The other exciting revelation of this title will be written by Michel Fiffe, who up until this point has been producing his creator owned COPRA, based on a team of super villains, which is critically acclaimed, I haven't read it myself but I am on the hunt to buy the compendiums, and its exciting to see Marvel allowing new creators onto their Ultimate titles again, the same way Humphries was given an opportunity at the publisher. Fiffe will be joined by Amilca Pinna whose art I am not familiar of at all but I look forward to hunting down some work to see whats its like. My pick list has had a major reduction to save on costs but this team is something that has gotten my attention and I may have to have a look at the first issue.
The second Ultimate title to be announced is Ultimate FF, and it has been made very clear this is for Future Foundation not Fantastic Four, this team consists of Sue Storm, Tony Stark, Machine Man and Sam Wilson this will be written by Fialkov, who already has previous in the Ultimate Universe, alongside Mario Guevara on art. The post Cataclysm team titles for the Ultimate universe are both exciting and I hope, both for the creators on the books and the characters involved that these titles will a success.
Finally Mile Morales will be staying within the Ultimate Universe, well at least thats what appears to be the case, in the newly titled Mile Morales: Ultimate Spider-Man, this will continue to be written by Brian Michael Bendis and the continually impressive David Marquez will continue to illustrate the book! Although no cover has yet been released for the title Marvel's April solicitations are due to come out next week where this should be revealed.
Bendis really seems to be at the helm of the Ultimate universe which he helped to create when it initially began and with his help the universe is still creating exciting titles with exciting creators, this could be the re-invigoration the Ultimate Universe has needed, with its only real successful title of late being his own title Ultimate Comics: Ultimate Spider-Man.
