‘Two Years In’ #1 Brings Us One Step Closer to the Maker’s Return
Marvel Comics announced the second annual Ultimate Universe one-shot Ultimate Universe: Two Years In #1 will hit shelves December 3rd from writers Deniz Camp and Alex Paknadel and artists from various Marvel titles. Ryan Stegman will provide the issue’s main cover.
Building on Ultimate Universe: One Year In’s pivotal storyline, Ultimate Universe: Two Years In propels the Ultimate Universe narrative forward, bringing back the Ultimate Guardians and introducing new key players, including Ultimate Daredevil. As the Maker's return looms, this chapter sets the stage for an explosive showdown leading up to Ultimate Endgame, revealing crucial secrets and plot twists that will shape the Universe’s inevitable outcome.
“For me, each of these year-ending Ultimates specials are an opportunity to reveal more about the universe's history, and set the path of its future,” Camp explained. “Ultimate Universe: One Year In was about the recent past and near future, but Ultimate Universe: Two Years In is more ambitious; we'll take you from the birth of humanity to 2000 years into the future where everything has gone wrong. It's bold, it's heartfelt, it's filled with big new ideas and surprising twists on old characters -- it's just what you've come to expect from the Ultimate Universe!”
"Getting to write in the Ultimate universe—especially as it reaches its climax—is so fun, it should be illegal,” Paknadel sahred. “It's a license to rethink and reinvent your favorite characters, and Deniz and I have certainly done that here. Like all the best Ultimate versions of these characters, our Daredevil retains the essence of the original—he's still a something without fear—but he's been scaled up to a cosmic-level hero. I can't wait for readers to meet him."
