Cataclysm: The Ultimates’ Last Stand #5 (Comics) Preview

Galactus is just about to chow down on the Ultimate universe and the remnants of the Ultimates are all that’s left to stand in his way.

Marvel is pleased to present your first look at CATACLYSM: THE ULTIMATES’ LAST STAND #5 – the universe shattering conclusion! From rock star creators Brian Michael Bendis and Mark Bagley – New York City lays a smoldering ruin. Fractured, broken, and dead – the remaining Ultimates stand on the precipice of destruction, consumed by Galactus, the Devourer of Worlds! Galactus’ World Eating machine is complete. With mere minutes left, the heroes of Earth must are out of time and out of options. Sacrifices must be made – and not everyone is coming back. Who lives? Who dies? It’s Galactus vs. The Ultimates – and the winner will shock the Ultimate Universe to its core! After this, nothing will ever be the same again. Time is up this February in CATACLYSM: THE ULTIMATES’ LAST STAND #5

Well up until now the Ultimates (and the Ultimate Universe in general) haven’t fared all that well against Galactus. And with the Devourer of Worlds about to activate his world ending device, it certainly doesn’t look like there’s a massive amount of good fortune to be had anytime soon for the heroes of the Utimates.

Of course, if you’ve been following our coverage of what’s to come for the brand, then you know that there is a future for Marvel’s Ultimate Universe; it’s just that that universe is going to be radically different from the one that fans have come to know.

It all ends and begins when Cataclysm: The Ultimates Last Stand #5 hits the stands on February 25th from Marvel and the team of Brian Michael Bendis and Mark Bagley.
