Included in the slide show were sketches of Silver Sable and the Wild Pack (included in this article) who actually had their Ultimate debut in the "Ultimate Spider-Man" video game, which won best game at this Electronic Entertainment Expo. A note attached to the images said the Wild Pack would appear in “Ultimate Spider-Man” 86.
This is good news. So it looks like the Ultimate Wild Pack will be showing up too, both in the game and in the first issue of the arc following Warriors/Gang War.
"Ultimate Extinction” artist Brandon Petersen was very excited about the series. He said it was very vast and sweeping and included almost everybody in the Ultimate Universe.
Hmmmm, almost everybody? Well it isn't any big surprise if the Ultimates, X-Men, and FF show up, but you think this might mean even Spidey could make an appearance? Not sure how they'd go about bringing him into something with this big of a scope, guess we'll have to wait and see.
In "Ultimate Secret," Galactus finally arrives in the Ultimate Universe. Petersen said the concept of Galactus makes sense. Ellis and Petersen wanted to avoid making him a giant guy in a purple suit. Petersen also said that an Ultimate version of the Silver Surfer would be part of the story, but he may not be what readers expect.
Interesting...I knew we were gonna be seeing Ultimate Silver Surfer in this trilogy. But not being what readers would expect sounds good to me, I don't think the idea of a cosmically powered alien riding around the galaxy on his surfboard would go over that well in the Ultimate Universe. And we've already gotten the Herald in Vision, so what role do you think Surfer will play? Friend or foe? Will SS be the one who save the Earth (cuz seriously, I don't think every super-human/mutant on the Earth is enough to defeat Big G, though I could be wrong)?
Also, the news that Ellis/Peterson are avoiding having Galactus a big guy in a purple suit is interesting. Does this mean he won't be a giant alien with a crazy helmet? The cover of the first issue of Extinction sure looks a lot like 616 Galactus, but who knows. Can't wait to see him.
Quesada also said that Marvel would be addressing the discrepancy between characters that made their debut in the "Ultimate Team-up" book with Spider-Man and then appeared in their own Ultimate title or team book later.
Now this I'm looking forward to almost as much as Ultimate Extinction. Finally, the timeline will be a little more discrepancy-free!
