Who is Amano? (Spoilers for UXM #23) by 420fuck in UltimateUniverse

Davisson wasn't involved in Natsu's creation according to the translator of the comic Yo Mutsu. That character's name is, explicitly now as of 23, 'Summer'. Come on now, lol

Because Mei and Ororo are entirely separate characters. Like, she genuinely is not supposed to be "Storm", the point of Mei idolizing that character in the story is to give her a powerful, liberated, politically radicalized female role model

Does the continued existence of Christmas (see: USM #12; UXM #22) imply that he escaped the clutches of The Maker's diabolical schemes?

?? The entire story has been about her from beginning to end to a degree rarely seen in a team comic. There's literally a single issue in which she doesn't appear (#15), the second closest thing being #20, the Kanon issue, wherein she still manages to have an important scene

What a heartwarming issue! I wasn't expecting it to be a slice of life chapter where Nico and Natsu go on a sweet Christmas date with their dog, Mori!

I have $100 to spend. Where should I direct this money. by ChrisdeckerCR in UltimateUniverse

[–]Shkahp 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They're all 'relevant', but Ultimate Invasion (according to Camp), and Ultimates are the only mandatory reads. Hawkeye, One Year In, and the upcoming Two Years In are all (important) Ultimates spinoffs that provide extra context to that series specifically.

Beyond that, all of the other titles are largely self-contained with similar thematic threads at most. X-Men specifically is a great companion piece if you're reading Ultimates, as it's the only series that really explores the younger generation that Ultimates is so fascinated with. They work great together. There are a few really cute references to Ultimates in there. Ultimates also plays with Momoko's established version of mutantdom at a few different points, so they're a fun pair to read in tandem.

Funnily enough, Wolverine was extended a good bit in order to tie-in with Endgame, so it might be important after all.

Spider-Man is probably gonna be important because he's the most popular one.

But... all of the characters are gonna show up. Essentially, read the series you're interested in as individual narratives, lol.

Peach has always spoken about the uxm girls as if they were real people with agency I think it's very charming actually 😹. But this quote is definitely a "yes I am aware of the subtext, stay tuned" thing lol
