Miles's baby sister finds herself lost in the new Ultimate Universe. Time for some universe hopping crossover event malarkey.
Eh. I wanted this to be so much better. It's mostly just Miles spending an issue each with different Ultimate characters, but it doesn't feel like there's anything to mine character-wise here. Miles meets Spider-Man, the Ultimates, some of the X-Men, and Black Panther, then gets into a fight with some bad guys, repeat for five issues. The Ultimate Wolverine tie-in issue is kind of laughable, since it doesn't even feature him, just Magik. Aside from some banter between Miles and Maystorm (which is barely banter since neither of them can understand one another), I don't feel like Miles actually connected with anyone here.
I will say, my main complaint about Cody Ziglar's run on Miles's solo series is that he's always felt like a supporting character in his own book, but that's not the case here. He's the driving force, and while we don't get much more than 'I need to find my sister' (understandably), at least he feels like the main character again.
The art also felt kinda jagged. Jonas Scharf's done a lot of good work at different companies, but things don't feel right here, and I can't quite put my finger on why. It just doesn't fit with the aesthetic of either Miles's solo series or any of the Ultimate books, which I guess adds to the fish-outta-water thing, but made the book a little hard to read at times.
Certainly not better than the sum of its parts, unfortunately.

Kind of a bummer. It has so much potential but just doesn’t really take advantage of it unfortunately. I wish each issue that followed Miles meeting a hero would have been in that comics are style too (any excuse for more Peach Momoko art!)
Doesn’t really result in anything either! Just feels like big old filler.

March 2, 2026Miles Morales is undoubtedly the breakout star of Marvel's first Ultimate Universe. So when one of its few other survivors, evil Reed Richards AKA the Maker, created a new Ultimate Universe*, it made perfect sense that he'd drop by with an enigmatic invitation for Miles. A thread which is picked up here, except that obviously it would be too simple for Miles to pop over for a casual look-see, so what happens is that his baby sister Billie gets sucked through an interdimensional portal and he has to go find her. Which he initially does by...just looking through random windows near where he turned up in New York? I appreciate there's no rulebook for this stuff and he's panicking, but it still seems a plan with a remarkably low chance of working out. Apart from anything else, babies are famously small – you could look into the right window and still miss her! What makes this frustrating is that it's running alongside some fun character stuff, because Miles has run into the local father and son Spider-Man, and Peter Parker is understandably miffed that even his own kid thinks Miles is a cooler Spidey than he is.
From there...well, the current Ultimate range is designedly dispersed around its world, so basically Miles goes on a tour of the settings, visiting Wakanda, the X-Men in Japan, and so forth. Which makes sense, and in so far as I've read the books he's dropping in on, the tone seems to align (as against the prologue in this book, which doesn't quite match the story proper), and also provides some nice little moments for his hosts. But the process brings to light several questionable decisions, not least that very dispersal, and the way the heroes of the separate books have never thought to make common cause against their nominally allied enemies. Although said enemies are here mainly double-crossing each other to get hold of Billie because of reasons, and I feel like having a baby rather than eg a briefcase as the Macguffin various villains are stealing from each other ought to be either funnier or scarier than it mostly comes off. Particularly given this is one of the all too rare instances where a baby in a superhero comic does look like a cute baby, and not some kind of terrifying homunculus. Which, yes, many babies do resemble, but even so. Alas, that's one of the few good things to be said about the art. Now, to the best of my knowledge Marvel have only just started offering ARCs on Edelweiss, and certainly this is the first I've had from them, so possibly they're having some issues with file encoding or something. Certainly the letter 'g' looked funny throughout the recap text at the start of this, so maybe something was off with the comics pages too, a layer missing or some such. Because the art and especially the colouring really weren't of the standard I'd expect from Marvel. It all looks blocky, blotchy, characters ageing up or down between panels, a young Japanese mutant suddenly looking like a tipsy sixtysomething white woman. Occasionally Miles' costume would change colour scheme, and there's a mention of it being vibranium now, so maybe that's a development I've missed from his current solo series, on which I bailed after one underwhelming volume (he also appears to have a magic sword now, and be the herald and/or champion of Anansi). But I honestly can't be sure, which suggests something is amiss in one or more of the art, writing, editorial and repro departments.
If it weren't so ugly and occasionally outright confusing, then, it would have been a serviceable crossover – though even then it would have been a hostage to things like deciding to retain the current Ultimate U's insistence on each issue representing a month in-world, a pace with which Miles himself expresses frustration (maybe if they wanted to stick to the real time rule, they could have released it weekly?). And if nothing else I have finally had an answer to a question that's been bothering me since Miles transferred universes at the end of Secret Wars: does he know? What, specifically, does he remember as having happened? Well, finally I get the answers, which are sort of satisfactory more than they're revelatory. But I'm still not sure whether that and the occasional cool character moments balance out the art, the inexplicable duplicate Storms, or the business with the windows.
*Which for some reason nobody except me seems keen to call the Ultimate Ultimate Universe.

December 16, 2025Kiedy autorzy komiksu nie uważają, że ich komiks ma mieć jakiś wpływ na świat, to już coś zaczyna śmierdzieć. Zazwyczaj jednak mowa w takich sytuacjach o wydarzeniach, które szybko zostają wymazane, by przywrócić do statusu quo. Inaczej jest, gdy dotyczy to crossoverowej serii w nowym uniwersum Ultimate.
Seria „Ultimate Incursion” miała być... w sumie nie do końca wiem czym. Na pewno w swych założeniach czymś ważnym, a ostatecznie jest nie wpływającym na nic średniakiem. A jego poważne konsekwencje dla tego świata można było przedstawić na jednej stronie komiksu albo jednym zdaniu – Maker to Reed Richards.
Jest to rewelacja dla postaci z tego uniwersum, a szczególnie dla jednej – tutejszego Dooma. Konsekwencję paplaniny Moralesa widzimy w „Ultimates” (2024) #16 i to chyba jedyne co przyniosło „Ultimate Incursion”.
Niestety bez niego też by działało.
Żeby jednak nie być tak minorowym w stosunku do „Ultimate Incursion” – trzeba przyznać, że niektóre interakcje też były ciekawe.
Choćby Moralesa z Spidermanowym Dynamic Duo. Poszukiwanie przez nich siostry Moralesa było zabawne, urocze i w sumie dało inny mały wpływ na świat Ultimate – nadało imię Venomowi.
Inną fajną interakcją były te między Moralesem, a japońskimi X-men od Peach Momoko (chyba to z wymiany między nią, a Denizem Campem była początkowa rewelacja). Śmiesznie, jak ludzie gadają do siebie, nie rozumieją siebie, ale ostatecznie dogadują się, czasem nawet bez tłumacza google.
Jednak mimo tych prostych chwil, dla których czyta się komiksy, nie wybrzmiewały one. W podcaście „Ideas don’t bleed” Mark Waid powiedział (podobno, jeszcze nie słuchałem), że to dla tych interakcji czyta się komiksy. Fabułę się zapomni, bo kto pamięta, że ktoś nawalał się z tym i tym? Niestety w tym komiksie ani interakcje, a tym bardziej fabuła nie powaliła.
Można rzec, że „Ultimate Incursion” powstała w dwóch celach. Po pierwsze – żeby dać jakiś crossover przed Ultimate Engame. A po drugie – żeby nie można było nazywać „Ultimate Black Pantera” najgorszym komiksem z tego świata (co i tak jest kwestią sporną).

I'm rather confused but what audience this series is meant to please; as someone who hasn't been keeping up with the Miles Morales comics, I was lost regarding a lot of the recent developments with his character, with a ton of new powers and abilities cropping up that are so different from what I know about the character that I was constantly confused. On the other hand, I would imagine that those readers who haven't been following the Ultimate comics like I have would be lost regarding the rules and characters of this world, as each issue feels like a brief glimpse at one of the various Ultimate books, never giving time to develop or expand upon those ideas. So in a sense, I feel like this book is aimed at a very niche audience who is following both those books at the same time.
But even beyond that, the writing is pretty rough throughout, with none of the Ultimates characters reading remotely like their characters from the main books. There's a number of interactions that feel inauthentic, and the way in which these characters met and engage with Miles often doesn't make much sense within the context of their stories. It feels rushed and awkward on all fronts.
And yet, in the last few pages of the series, major plot points are established for both The Ultimates and Miles' on-going series, meaning that this series weirdly positions itself to be "essential" reading in some respects. I'm sure the noted series will have brief recaps of this book to lead readers in who skipped it, but it's frustrating to see this mediocre book effectively force itself into these books.
Even if you're a fan of either series, I feel like this is a skip, with very little redeeming features and a story that feels slapdash and unsatisfying.

Una auténtica birria en la que todo está mal: el guion es, simplemente, una sucesión de peleas sin demasiado sentido entre Miles Morales y cualquier malote del universo Ultimate que se le ponga por delante. El dibujo, regulero. Da la sensación de que Camp —generalmente, un guionista más que decente— pone el nombre y el cazo, y le da al automático. En principio, el gran atractivo es ver a Miles Morales volver al universo Ultimate... pero es que es otro universo Ultimate, no el suyo, así que ni siquiera eso funciona ni medianamente bien. En fin, morralla que se publica bajo el exitoso sello editorial porque, de otra forma, no la comprarían ni los tontos.
De esta sí, los tontos sí la compramos.

This is not a good Miles Morales story. The full miniseries consists of Miles meeting a few characters from each of the current Ultimate books and not much happens until the last few pages. Then, we get setups for an issue of Ultimates (which works fine without this) and for some upcoming event.
Ultimately (heh), neither universe was impacted in a meaningful way. There were a few dopamine-hit moments when certain characters showed up, but that's about it.

This was such a let down, when compared to other additions to the’Ultimate’ line. A filler that never really goes anywhere and underplays the introduction of ‘Origin Boxes’ and their potential. Really disappointing.
November 17, 2025
Pretty disappointing. The Ultimate line in general has been pretty good (besides Ultimate X-Men). This felt completely pointless. Miles's baby sister makes her way to the Ultimate universe where Miles has to chase her as she gets captured by people each issue. It's repetitive and boring. The whole thing feels like a pointless cash grab.

Enjoy exploring the Ultimate universe through the POV of Miles as he also comes to get his memories back of the original Ultimate universe. Sets up Ultimate Endgame in some subtle yet great ways.

Miles takes a swanky tour through the new ultimate universe, and that's kinda it.
Gosh, the X-Men look weird in a different art style.

Miles Morales recorre el universo Ultimate, encontrando a cada protagonista (con su respectivo villano) en cada numero. Podría haber sido un especial de 64 paginas

Feels like an advertisement for the UU really. There’s some nice stuff, but a more cohesive story was definitely there.
