Geeks of Doom Invade New York Comic Con 2009

At the New York Comic Con‘s Cup O Joe panel, Marvel announced that the long-running comic book series Ultimate Spider-Man will get the axe soon, as will the entire Ultimate Universe line.

The news came as a “surprise” to writer Brian Michael Bendis, who joked that Editor-In-Chief Joe Quesada was dead to him. “I’m Christian Bale-ing on you!” he said.

However, a new line of books under the banner Ultimate Comics will begin very soon, Quesada replied, adding that Spider-Man is one of four ongoing books in the line. All of these titles will have the same editorial schedule as the regular line of Marvel books.

“Because Ultimate was on its own schedule, there as a disconnect,” Bendis said in reference to the Ultimate Spider-Man restart, which will begin as Volume 2, Issue 1. “I wanted to react to things in the other books but I couldn’t without ruining their stories.”

While Bendis and artist David LaFuente will helm the Spider-Man book, the line will also feature Ultimate Avengers by Mark Millar and Lenil Francis Yu and New Ultimates by Jeph Loeb and Frank Cho, according to Marvel. Nothing has been released about the fourth book in the Ultimate Comics restart line at this time.

There were also two Ultimate Hulk-related announcements: She-Hulk will soon make her debut in the Ultimate universe and the long awaited final script to Ultimate Hulk vs. Wolverine has been turned in and will be out soon.
