Nick Fury Exposes the New Ultimate Universe's Darkest Secrets in 'Ultimate Universe: One Year In'

Check out the covers and get a sneak peek at 'Ultimate Universe: One Year In,' hitting stands on December 11.

On sale in December, ULTIMATE UNIVERSE: ONE YEAR IN #1 is a startling one-shot where ULTIMATES writer Deniz Camp, artist Jonas Scharf and upcoming ULTIMATE WOLVERINE creative team Chris Condon and Alessandro Cappuccio set the stage for the next year of Ultimate storytelling!

Today, fans can check out all the covers for this highly-anticipated issue and get a sneak peek at both stories, each of which adds a major new player in the Ultimate Universe tapestry: Wolverine and Nick Fury!


Among the covers are a group of variant covers where regular Ultimate series cover artists—Marcho Checchetto (ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN), Stefano Caselli (ULTIMATE BLACK PANTHER), Peach Momoko (ULTIMATE X-MEN), and Dike Ruan (ULTIMATES)—traded off and brought their skills to characters from each other’s series.

Also included is a terrifying depiction of the Maker by comic book legend Frank Miller, one-sixth of an epic connecting cover by Josemaria Casanovas that will run across all Ultimate titles, and a spoiler variant cover spotlighting Ultimate Wolverine’s first appearance by the character’s future series artist Alessandro Cappuccio.


In never-before-seen preview pages, glimpse behind the curtain as Nick Fury’s role in the Maker’s world order is revealed. With their master’s return imminent, the Maker’s Council convene to discuss the sudden rise of super heroes determined to bring hope to their corrupt universe.

Since the Ultimate Universe began, readers have learned more and more about its twisted origins, and now Deniz Camp and Jonas Scharf reveal some of its darkest truths yet! Plus, meet the Maker’s ultimate weapon, the Winter Soldier, in a prelude to Chris Condon and Alessandro Cappuccio’s ULTIMATE WOLVERINE, the fifth ongoing Ultimate series launching this January.
