April also sees the final issues of Chris Condon and Alessandro Cappuccio’s ULTIMATE WOLVERINE and Camp and Juan Frigeri’s ULTIMATES, with the final issues of ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN, ULTIMATE BLACK PANTHER, and ULTIMATE X-MEN concluding in the preceding months. Today, fans can see the reveals of all of April’s Ultimate releases as the countdown to the end of the Ultimate Universe truly begins!

With an epic can’t-miss conclusion this April, it’ll be able to be enjoyed from beginning to end as a complete, interconnected, and deeply rewarding saga.
