When we put it out to everybody at Marvel that we were doing this crazy time travel story, we told them we wanted there to be ramifications. We asked ‘What’s the craziest thing that could fall into the Marvel Universe?’ A lot of ideas were something dropping on the Ultimate Universe that would be insane. Then Joe Quesada called me out of the blue and told me we could have Angela. That was about the craziest thing I ever heard. Then Neil Gaiman wanting Continue reading Galactus Has Ultimate HUNGER
