At last year's New York Comic Con, fans got a glimpse at the new cast in early concept art, but who are they really? And what catastrophe finally draws them out of the shadows? Meet Wyn, a mysterious player in a war that exists outside of the orders we know and a vital member of an aeons-old hierarchy that includes the omnipotent rulers of the universe such as Eternity, Infinity, and the Living Tribunal.

Together, along with master colorist Marte Gracia, the team will build a new Marvel mythology overflowing with daring concepts, intricate systems, and fascinating new characters, some of whom have been in action long before your favorite Marvel heroes. Judgment Day, acclaimed artist Valerio Schiti will join Hickman to bring forth this epic journey into the unknown. Known for his outstanding work on events like Empyre and A.X.E.

will mark his most ambitious undertaking to date, dramatically reshaping Marvel's pantheon of cosmic beings and the entities behind the very fabric of reality. For my money, they were the best part of that universe.'Over the last decade, Hickman has boldly transformed the worlds of the Fantastic Four, the Avengers, and the X-Men. I don't understand why the Ultimate FF were treated the way they were. Reed eventually rejected Sue and struck a deal with UIt Nick Fury to help deal with the Incursions, with it implied he had backed down from his evil after learning the truth about Sue) She did so because she was aware of the Incursions and felt that if the Ultimate universe had an Infinity Gauntlet (and could mass produce gems in the event the Gauntlet broke upon being used, as was the case with the Illuminati breaking their Infinity Gems) they could easily foil them. Sue was a time traveler and needed Reed to renounce good/become a genocidal mass murderer, because Sue wanted Reed to commit acts of mass murder as part of an arcane ritual to create man made versions of the Infinity Gems. (For those unfamiliar it turns out that Ultimate Sue Storm was pure evil all along and her future self murdered Reed's parents (something Hickman implied Reed did, off-panel, as the point of no return for him becoming evil) and manipulated Reed's entire descent into evil as far as rejecting him and driving him to become a mass murderer. You need the non-Hickman issues for any Maker/Ultimate Reed collection, because they set up Reed's status quo in Avengers. I'm pretty sure Hickman's involvement in #10-12 is about as big as in Avengers World: he talked a bit about it with the actual writer. I'd prefer the collection end on Ultimates #9.
