As Marvel’s Ultimate Universe is set to conclude the 24-month countdown to The Maker’s return, two major announcements were made during a panel at SDCC. The first was the reveal that the blockbuster Ultimate Spider-Man series will be ending with issue #24.
“This was everything that I pitched,” Hickman said at the panel. “Nothing has deviated. It’s been really nice to execute the plan well and everything culminates into this issue. Fans of the Ultimate Universe are going to love it. It’s been a real pleasure being the writer of Ultimate Spider-Man.”
The other announcement was that The Maker’s return to the Ulimate Universe will pay off BIG in the newly announce Ultimate Endgame crossover series. Deniz Camp will write the crossover with several artists for a series that will connect all of the current Ultimate titles.
“This is the craziest and most impactful crossover [I’ve worked on],” Camp said. “I’m really excited about it. It’s all the characters: everyone coming together in this big way, coming up against each other in a big way, and the resolution of some long plot threads we’ve all been seeing. It’s very big, very dramatic, and with the Ultimate Universe, we can change the world. We can actually do it as creators because we have this incredible playground that Marvel has not just allowed, but encouraged us, to use. It’s such an honor to do something like this. It’s been amazing, and this is the culmination of a lot of what we’ve been doing together.”
Ultimate Spider-Man #24 will be released on 12/24/25 with Ultimate Endgame debuting a week later on 12/31/25.
