Not even Galactus could completely destroy the Ultimate Universe! In a world where Wolverine stayed dead you know there’s serious about dead means dead.
Before the Ultimate line is reborn we learn who lives and dies in Survive by Brian Michael Bendis.
Cataclysm: The Ultimates Last Stand #5 was the showdown between the Ultimates vs. Galactus.
The world eating giant was unleashed on the Ultimate Universe after the Age of Ultron.
Marvel revealed some survivors of Cataclysm (Miles Morales and an All-New Ultimates plus a very different Ultimate FF) but how and who else will lived though the devastating last stand against Galactus?
“The entire issue lays out where everybody is emotionally and where everybody is going forward into this new ultimate universe. this shift in the dynamics of the ultimate universe is as big as the day the entire line was created,” said Bendis about Survive in an earlier Marvel liveblog.
What happens after Survive:
“I think you can tell from the solicitations that this is a time for the younger heroes to step up and enter the brass ring. some familiar faces from Ultimate Spider-Man and some new heroes taking on new roles. deciding it after everything that has happened to rise up to the occasion and be the best they can be.” Bendis.
“In the real world we have all lived through catastrophe. whether you wanted to or not it defines you. if changes you. it makes you re-examine who you are and who you should be. now imagine a couple of dozen super powered people all doing that at the same time and deciding that things need to be different. that life is too precious. that reality itself is fragile. that means that life and love and life goals should all be taken very seriously. and every day should be treated as if it were your last because it might be. this is what the heroes are going through and how they are going to embrace their roles going forward.
And with that comes some very exciting stories. some of which will be familiar to those who love superhero comics but I think particularly with the writers we have that you’re going to see a freshness to this entire thing that you’re not going to see anywhere else.”
Survive arrives Wednesday.
