Is it just me, or is this a few years too late? Wouldn't it have been best to do this before the UU ultimately (ha ha) turned to crap? '_' Who knows, maybe if this were a done a while ago it could have saved things from the current state of affairs. Done today, it could (a) not matter, (b) put the final nail in the unvierse's coffin, or (c) save and revive the UU. Sounds like a is the most likely option, but who knows... if done in the past it coulda been c. (Of course, this is Bendis who overhypes everything he writes and gives away spoilers for everything he writes and has no idea how to avertise something so it would probably be dissapointing no matter what year it is.)
Maybe they were just waiting for Ultimates 2 to get out of the way.
