I’ve spent the past year reading every issue from the original Ultimate Marvel Universe.

Like the title says I’ve spent a lot of the last year reading all 704 issues of the OG Ultimate universe, I tried my best to do it in chronological order thanks to a reading guide online, jumping between different books & experiencing all the crossovers & events are they were being released. I just wanted to share some of my thoughts about it on here. I enjoyed pretty much every run I read but there’s a lot of dark spots around the time of Ultimates 3, Ultimatum & the aftermath of that event. Seeing all these characters get reworked into the modern day was something I really liked it’s just a shame most of them were killed off or written poorly as the universe started to die off. One character that stands out is Kitty Pryde, her rise from the new girl at Xavier’s school to the leader of the Mutant community in Utopia & taking down Galactus was a great read.

I still have to read Ultimate End but I’ll save that for when I read Hickman’s Secret Wars after his Fantastic Four & Avengers run. It’s been a bumpy & edgy ride with the Ultimate universe but I’m glad I’ve experienced it all, thanks to it we got great characters like 1610 Peter, Miles, Nick Fury & of course The Maker.

I’d love to hear some of your favourite parts of the Ultimate universe if anyone has any!
