Written by Ultimates writer Deniz Camp with an artist yet to be named, the Ultimate Universe: One Year In one-shot will take a broader look at the ever-growing new Ultimate Universe a year into the proliferation of superheroes away from the eyes of the villainous Maker, who engineered the history and pulls the political strings of Earth-6160, the universe’s Multiversal designation.

“Now, with one year left until their leader’s return, the Maker’s Council launches a bold plan to wipe out these heroes. This oversized one-shot sets the stage for the second year of the Ultimate line and includes the debut of the Ultimate versions of two major Marvel characters!”

So far, the new Ultimate Universe comic line is anchored by flagship titleUltimate Spider-Manalong withUltimate Black Panther,Ultimate X-Men, andThe Ultimates, the universe’s answer to the Avengers, which is led by Tony Stark/Iron Lad and Reed Richards/Doom (as you can see, things are a little different).
