Marvel’s year 2099 is about to meet its end in the appropriately titled five-issue series The End 2099. Written by Steve Orlando with art by Ibraim Roberson, the news was first announced at the retailer summit at San Diego Comic-Con.
“Every time the door to 2099 opens, it’s not just an honor–it’s an adventure!” Orlando said via press release. “This is the one for it all, folks. With all existing 2099 timelines united into the one, true, Universe-2099, the stakes are higher than ever when Abyssus, the Devourer in Black, comes to dinner! But not all is as it seems! Mephisto, 2099’s dark dealmaker, pivots from annihilation to a war of champions–with 2099’s greatest battling Abyssus’ finest, plucked from the multiverse!”
As Orlando teases, the heroes of 2099 must fight back against an array of multiversal challengers, including those from 3099. Far more curious though (why not introduce a Spider-Man 3099?) are the other challengers. Per PR they include “Age of Apocalypse’s Wolverine, Cyclops and Marvel Girl from Chris Claremont and John Byrne’s era of Uncanny X-Men, House of M’s Wanda Maximoff” and many more.
Continued Orlando, “Putting together a team not just from 2099, but from all of Marvel’s banquet of realities, was the best kind of challenge–each warrior from the multiverse reflects a warrior from 2099 they’re meant to take down. And each warrior is a moment to celebrate some of Marvel’s most iconic realities and timelines. And best of all? In the spirit of Marvel’s greatest events, we’re debuting a whole new Spider-Man. It’s easy to say this is a spider like no other, but Spider-Man 3099 really will introduce folks to a whole new generation of heroism. Like the spider itself is a keystone species, Spider-Man 3099 is a keystone hero–the first hero in history, as far as he knows! He’s never even met another Spider-Man…but meeting Miguel O’Hara will change his life forever!”

THE MARVEL WORLD OF TOMORROW FACES ITS LAST DAYS IN AN ERA-DEFINING TALE!
From the ashes of the Age of Heroes, a new generation of vigilantes, like Spider-Man 2099, Nova 2099 and Red Hulk 2099, emerged in the dystopia that followed to forge a bright new future—a future that has come to an end in the face of ABYSSUS, a horrifying fusion of a KNULL-INFECTED GALACTUS!
