ULTIMATE X-MEN is the third launch in Marvel’s new ULTIMATE line that was born out of Hickman and Bryan Hitch’s ULTIMATE INVASION series. The saga began with the Maker, one of the final survivors of the doomed Ultimate Universe, travelling back in time on a parallel Earth to create a world without heroes. He succeeded in preventing various iconic heroes from achieving their destiny and ruled this world in secret through various global factions
The excitement increased tenfold in March when renowned writer and artist Peach Momoko brought the Children of the Atom into this thrilling new storytelling landscape in ULTIMATE X-MEN #1 and the story continues this week in the next installment of Ultimate X-Men #12
