Does Spider-Man Die In Ultimate Endgame?
The end of the Ultimate Universe is here with Marvel’s Ultimate Endgame, and though only the first issue has been released so far, thanks to a look at the covers to issues four and five, fans are starting to get worried about your friendly neighborhood Ultimate Spider-Man.
Specifically, while the cover to issue four shows a beaten, bloody, and bruised Spider-Man being attacked by villain The Maker, he doesn’t appear on the cover to issue five, the final issue of the series, at all. Instead, it shows Doom in front of all the other heroes, pointing and rallying.
Perhaps they’re going to save Peter Parker. Or perhaps they’re going to avenge him. There are, for what it’s worth, several other Spider-Mans in the universe if they do decide to off Peter Parker. As is, we won’t know until the final issue hits on April 22.
Beneath The Trees Where Nobody Sees Gets An Artist’s Edition:
Patrick Horvath’s hit IDW series Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees is getting an Artist’s Edition. So if you’re not an artist? GET OUT OF HERE.
Just kidding. Per AIPT, the oversized collection will include all six issues of the original series, as well as the 10-page prelude story, “Präludium.” The art has been scanned directly from Horvath’s originals, and is presented in a oversized edition with a 12″ x 17″ trim. In addition, there are four overlay pages that show “patch panels,” aka showing how the original art Horvath created changed in the final, printed version.
Beneath The Trees Where Nobody Sees Artist’s Edition will hit stores on July 28. 2026, a week after the non-Artist’s Edition collection of the sequel series Rite of Spring, hits stores. Collect ’em all!
Marvel’s Ultraman Gets An Omnibus:
Marvel may be busy publishing their final Ultraman story, but they aren’t letting the character go that quickly. Later this year, they’ll publish an 800-page Ultraman omnibus.
Per ICv2, the volume will include all of the modern Marvel Ultraman stories, beginning with Rise of Ultraman from 2020, through Fall of Ultraman coming out in February. It will also throw in two series and a one-shot from the Harvey Comics Ultraman years, in the early ’90s.
There will also be two editions — one with a cover by Tsuburaya Productions, the other by Peach Momoko. Ultraman Omnibus will hit stores on July 15, 2026.
