Two Universes will merge in the upcoming Marvel Comics event and nothing will ever be same. A tie-in to the highly anticipated Secret Wars, will Miles Morales, the Ultimate Spider-Man, witness the death of everything he knows and loves in the Ultimate Universe in 'Ultimate End '#1?
As we previously mentioned, the rebooted Secret Wars #1 comes from the creative team of writer Jonathan Hickman (Avengers) and artist Esad Ribic (Thor: God of Thunder). Legendary painter Alex Ross depicts the Marvel superheroes in a spectacular battle that spreads across the universe. In this eight-issue event, the Marvel superheroes from separate realities are going to come together to meet in an epic standoff.
During the Live Stream press event, Marvel's Editor-in-Chief Axel Alonso and executive editor Tom Brevoort stated, "Once we hit Secret Wars #1, there is no Marvel Universe, Ultimate Universe, or any other. It's all Battleworld."
In the original Jim Shooter and Mike Zeck's Secret Wars comic, Battleworld was a planet that the Beyonder put together from numerous worlds. The Beyonder envisioned a battleground for all of the Marvel's superheroes and super-villains to fight in. We can only speculate that the Ultimate Universe will collide with Earth-616, where only one will be left standing.
According to an interview with Comic Book Resources, Miles Morales: Ultimate Spider-Man, a comic we love so much and cover each month, will meets its end in issue #12. In the release, writer Brian Michael Bendis and artist Mark Bagley promise a"gut-wrenching end" as the Ultimate Universe is on a collision course with Secret Wars.
Miles will have a prominent role in Secret Wars, which Bendis reveals, "Creators like Jonathan [Hickman] know that that's happening, and he's also still so wide-eyed fresh to the comic world that he's a very good character to put into a story like this. His perspective is fresh. The Avengers have been through everything, but Miles has not been through everything."
The Powers writer continues, "The story we're telling with Miles Morales will tie into Secret Wars and tie up a lot of really big pieces with the Ultimate chronology. You're going to get legitimate closure with a lot of characters. It's very rare that you get this opportunity to wrap it up. It's like television, when you get a final season. That's how I've been writing Miles Morales...Will you see Peter in Ultimate End? Yes, you will."
