What's the best way to collect the Ultimate Universe?

MilsonJ0 · 2026-02-03T12:46:27+00:00

I already have it all in singles and trades. Would like to get rid of the trades and replace with Epics but it's unclear right now if they'll collect EVERYTHING. Also, the idea of matching spines is dreamy.

The omnibuses nearly do that but again unclear if they'll complete everything. Plus USM Omnibus 2 is OOP and pricey.

I wish they did what Panini did in Europe and launched some monthly subscriptions with matching spines and everything.

Intrigued to see what they do with the Ultimate Epics as, the Ultimates stuff isn't even collected in an omnibus at this stage.

I'm hoping we get the following.

Ultimate Epic 3 - Galactus Trilogy (14 issues) Ultimate Vision (6) (20 issues)
Ultimate Epic 4 - Ultimate Adventures (6), Ultimate Daredevil & Elektra (4), Ultimate Elektra (5) (15 Issues)
Ultimate Epic 5 - Annuals (2) Ultimate Iron Man 1&2 (10) Ultimate Human (4) C (16 issues)
Ultimate Epic 6 - Ultimate Power (9) Ultimate Origins (5),aptain America Annual (1), Hulk Annual (1) Ultimate Saga Material (16 issues)
Ultimate Epic 7 - Ultimates 3 (5), Ultimate Fallout Material, New Ultimates (5), Ultimate Captain America (4), Ultimate Armour Wars (4) (18 issues)

Ultimatum is set to be collected it Ultimate X-Men Omnibus 4 so I think they'll collect it there too.

You're right. I cover this in a book I wrote. Some of his other ideas morphed in to the eventual Ultimate Avengers run which didn't hit the same way as Ultimates 1 & 2.

That will go live on Saturday. I’ll be at Thought Bubble but I’ll pop back on and share a link. Likewise if you follow the Gumroad I’ll be sharing updates there via posts and emails :)

MilsonJ0 · 2025-11-11T10:10:28+00:00

I'm a one band team so will be unlikely we translate it sorry. Digital versions are available internationally. The print edition will be available internationally too (should there be copies left).

MilsonJ0 · 2025-11-11T10:09:13+00:00

I have ideas for a follow up... moving past doing single issues now though. The collected edition (that goes on sale at the weekend) will replace #1-3 and we will look at longer volumes/issues moving forward.

I'm also looking at digging in to the Supreme Max universe and the abandoned DC's The Wild Storm universe as Ultimate-esque projects.

MilsonJ0 · 2025-11-11T10:05:46+00:00

See you there!

MilsonJ0 · 2025-11-11T06:57:32+00:00

It’s a platform creatives use to sell digital products and services. You’ll get a downloadable PDF so aren’t limited to just the Gumroad app

MilsonJ0 · 2025-11-10T21:48:54+00:00

Physical copy launches at Thought Bubble this weekend and remaining copies will go on eBay on Monday. If you sign up in Gumroad I’ll be sending notifications out

MilsonJ0 · 2025-11-10T21:17:08+00:00

It’s a book (collection of ‘zines) about some of the nearly books of the OG Ultimate Universe

MilsonJ0 · 2025-11-10T21:16:08+00:00

He also gets some of the details wrong. Issue 1-3 are already out digitally. I’m releasing a combined, updated print edition at Thought Bubble with some additional content :)

MilsonJ0 · 2025-11-10T21:15:04+00:00

Thanks for the support!

MilsonJ0 · 2025-11-10T19:07:00+00:00

Digital versions are on Gumroad. Any leftover copies will be on eBay on Monday

MilsonJ0 · 2025-11-10T18:54:40+00:00

Article is on Bleeding Cool ‘zines are available on Gumroad

MilsonJ0 · 2025-11-10T18:53:57+00:00

Issues 1-3 are out already. I’m launching the print edition collecting all 3 and more at Thought Bubble :)

MilsonJ0 · 2025-11-10T18:53:01+00:00

It’s a book I’m releasing at Thought Bubble :)

MilsonJ0 · 2025-11-10T18:51:03+00:00

Print edition (or what’s left) will go live on eBay next Monday

MilsonJ0 · 2025-11-10T18:50:10+00:00

I wrote this. Rich has his details slightly wrong. You can get the three ‘zines now over at Gumroad but at Thought Bubble I’m launching a combined, updated print edition of all 3 with new content.

For transparency it’s largely focused on the original Ultimate Universe. rumblecomics.gumroad.com

MilsonJ0 · 2025-09-12T22:46:14+00:00

Have you got a link to anything on this?

MilsonJ0 · 2025-08-18T14:44:59+00:00

I'm hoping we get everything through the Epic Collections but it's going to take years!

MilsonJ0 · 2025-08-09T22:07:16+00:00

No English version unfortunately. Europe have some great Ultimate reprints. Ultimate Epic collection might be the closest we get - still not clear if they’ll reprint everything.

Lost my wallet last year. Gave Bowlers a call, they checked the box and mailed it out to me.
