The relaunch Ultimate Marvel Line has been progressing during the year with only four titles: Ultimate Spider-Manultimate black panther, Ultimates, i Ultimate X-Men. A new comic will be added to the lineup next year Ultimate Wolverinewhich places the most A-list X-Man in a familiar, but different, context.
written by Chris Condon and drawn by Alessandro Cappucciothe book finds Wolverine forced to do assassin work for Maker Magik Council members Colossus and Omega Red. As the trailer shows, this Wolverine still has his claws and exoskeleton, and they’re just as deadly as other versions of the character, willing to rebel against their masters. But the biggest change may be worrying WHO they are: not only are they called “the winter soldier”, but their identity is currently unknown. It could be Logan, it could be Bucky, or who knows; other Ultimate comics have given established identities to different, sometimes new characters, such as Hawkeye being the all-new Charli Ramsey.
According to Condon, this book “takes the ideas we all have about Wolverine to its limits, which is everything an ‘ultimate’ Wolverine should be.” : Not only do they have to tangle with their controllers, but they also seem to cross violent paths with some familiar faces X. Beyond Nightcrawler and Mystique, it’s unknown who else appears in this book, mainly because the mutants in this universe are much more scattered: the storm is over. black panther, while other major mutants either have new Ultimate equivalents or simply haven’t appeared yet. Go ahead and speculate.
