The Marvel Comics Universe has struggled somewhat in recent years to connect with readers on a consistent basis, but their most recent alternate universe endeavor, the Ultimate Universe, has been one of the biggest successes in the modern history of the publisher. Books like The Ultimates, Ultimate Spider-Man, and Ultimate X-Men were all must-reads, but, unfortunately, Marvel is ending the Ultimate Universe.On the flipside, DC Comics has established its own alternate universe line of comics with the Absolute Universe, and it has proven to be a major hit with new readers and longtime fans alike. Now, DC is taking full advantage of Marvel’s choice to end the Ultimate Universe, and it’s cementing DC as the reigning champion of the comics industry today.Deniz Camp’s Ultimate Endgame is, so far, an infinitely engaging event book for the Ultimate Universe, but its status as the wrap-up for the entire universe is severely disappointing. Fans have shown their love for the Ultimate books since the universe first began, and for some readers, the Ultimate series was the only Marvel book that they were actively reading each month. The fact that no prior continuity or canon needed to be understood to grasp books like Ultimate Spider-Man and The Ultimates was a breath of fresh air for readers, and that’s now going away.
