Comic Ultimate Marvel Qs

So someone had told me they were ending most of the Ultimate Marvel series and that they were doing some kind of big event that would kill off many big name characters in the Ultimate world. I vaguely remember something about a tidal wave.

Only thing is googling this gives me random results all over the place so I figured I'd come and ask my trusty and awesome CoH community. =D

Anyways, was this information I was told true and if so, can someone please direct me to the name and information for this end event?

Ultimatum - happened a couple of years ago.

Skip it.....

Here's the wikipedia entry.

I believe the next major event is the DC/Marvel crossover. Best part of the Ultimatiam was they killed of Wolverine. Grab it off torrent its worth the read.

So in the Ultimate world how did the Ultimate Avengers story of the Red Skull end? I ended up stopping my comic habit in the middle and was just curious. I thought it was an interesting twist on the Cap storyline....

Cap still in a downed fighter jet had Bullseye/Hawkeye radio him the coordinates of where Red Skull was standing. Turned on the jets boosters and impaled him with the jets nose cone in the chest. A few panels later Skull is kept alive with machines, tells Nick Fury the whole reason for stealing the cosmic cube was so he could rewrite reality so Cap never went into suspended animation and came back home after WW2 to raise him and marry his mother. After this Nick tells the new Black Widow to put a bullet into the Red Skull's head.

So they killed Cap too then? Sheesh didn't they learn from 616?

Ultimatum didn't end up ending anything, except I guess, kind of Ultimate Fantastic Four.

Everything got new numbering as well I believe.

While Wolverine "died," there is some "Kid Wolverine" running around out there now.

Ugh. I really wished I had taken Ultimatum to be my break-away point with the Ultimate Universe like I told myself I would.

Ultimate Spider-Man is still okay, but it's just... Missing something.

The Ultimate Marvel universe was doomed the minute Loeb got his dirty hands on it.

I really like the Ultimate Universe stuff that's written by Michael Brian Bendis. As far as I am concerned, he is the best Spider-man dialogue writer there's ever been.
