It’s a fresh start for the Marvel mythos, and the biggest and boldest storytelling swings still lie ahead! Right now, get a sneak peek at what’s to come with cover reveals for May’s three Ultimate issues.
In ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN #5, Jonathan Hickman digs into the secret history of Harry Osborn! How does the heir apparent of Oscorp become a masked vigilante?

In Ultimate Spider-Man #4-5, Hickman will be joined by acclaimed artist David Messina (Star Wars: The High Republic) with regular series artist Marco Checchetto returning in June’s Ultimate Spider-Man #6.
In Bryan Hill and Stefano Caselli’s ULTIMATE BLACK PANTHER #4, Shuri seizes the throne! With T’Challa missing and presumed dead, Wakanda needs a new leader.

And discover the mysterious Maystorm’s origin in Peach Momoko’s ULTIMATE X-MEN #3. Mei Igarashi was a regular girl until she discovered her unusual abilities and her hair changed from brown to white… Now, learn how and why she came to idolize a mysterious freedom fighter in Africa who also harnesses the power of the storm!
