CBR usually gets the news in later on the most sites. But this time, they've got up the Ultimate Universe Panel from this year's Wizard World Chicago before the others. Here's what went down:
Marvel Comics Editor In Chief Joe Quesada kicked off the Ultimate Marvel Universe Panel, at Wizard World Chicago, with a Rock N’ Roll concert style, “How’s everybody doing?” greeting to the people in the audience, then urging them to voice their feelings louder.
After that enthusiastic welcome, Quesada next introduced his fellow panel members, Jim McCann from Marvel’s marketing department and “Ultimates 3” writer Jeph Loeb, and followed up with a slide show of upcoming offerings in the Ultimate Marvel line.
The first slide was for “Ultimate Power,” a nine issue mini-series which will put the costumed champions of the Ultimate universe on a collision course with a group of heroes from another universe, The Squadron Supreme. The series begins in October and will be written by Brian Michael Bendis, J. Michael Straczynski and Jeph Loeb, and also feature art by Greg Land. “It began out of a cool idea, ‘What if Squadron Supreme visited the Ultimates?’ and Bendis came up with the title that’s the only reason we brought him on,” Loeb joked. "It’s divided sort of like ‘The Lord of the Rings.’ First Bendis, than Straczynski, and then I get the big one.”
“In the cross-over some will live, some will die and others will be changed forever,” Loeb continued. “You’ll see the result from the series in ‘Ultimates 4’ and right away in ‘Squadron Supreme.’”
Next up was a slide depicting the covers of “Ultimate Spider-Man” #100, as well as the cover to issue #98, which hit stores this week. Both issues are part of the current, “Clone Saga" storyline. The next slide was one of the cliffhanger ending to issue #98, which Quesada summed up by saying, “Gwen Stacy is back,” which lead the audience to cheer.

Why try to fix what is not broken?
