ULTIMATE WOLVERINE
New York, NY— October 17, 2024 — Just now at New York Comic Con’s Marvel Comics: Next Big Thing Panel, the biggest comics panel of the weekend, Editor in Chief C.B. Cebulski, writer Chris Condon, and more revealed the next ongoing series coming to Marvel’s hit new Ultimate Universe. Joining acclaimed titles Ultimate Spider-Man, Ultimate Black Panther, Ultimate X-Men, and Ultimates is… ULTIMATE WOLVERINE!
Hitting stands in January, ULTIMATE WOLVERINE will be written by rising star Chris Condon (That Texas Blood, Venom War: Daredevil) and drawn by Moon Knight powerhouse artist Alessandro Cappuccio. True to the character’s origin as a government weapon, Ultimate Wolverine is an unwilling agent of the Maker, the secret creator of this corrupt universe. Mindwiped and used as an assassin, he’s still the best there is as at what he does… even if he’s not in control of who he does it to.
THE MAKER’S ULTIMATE WEAPON!
In order to maintain control of their corner of the Maker’s world, three members of his council – Magik, Colossus and Omega Red – deploy their most lethal asset: The Winter Soldier! But WHO is the weapon behind the mask?
Before ULTIMATE WOLVERINE arrives in January, readers will see him in action for the first time in a prelude story by Condon and Cappuccio in ULTIMATE UNIVERSE: ONE YEAR IN #1, the special one-shot that concludes the first year of Marvel’s new Ultimate Universe and sets up the next year of stories, including the Maker’s long-awaited return!
“When Wil Moss called me and asked me if I wanted to take on this title, I jumped at the chance and immediately had an idea of what to do with it,” said Condon. “I’m bringing my essence of storytelling from That Texas Blood to the Marvel Universe with Wolverine, looking back at what came before and bringing us something new.”
“You might notice that there’s a Red Star on his costume and you might wonder why,” he continued. “If you look at that mask, there’s a muzzle on him and that’s because he’s wild”
Check out Cappuccio’s main cover for ULTIMATE WOLVERINE #1 along with variant covers by Gleb Melnikov and Steve Skroce. Plus see Cappuccio’s original design sheet and the newly revealed ULTIMATE UNIVERSE: ONE YEAR IN #1 Spoiler Variant Cover featuring Ultimate Wolverine.
