Ultimate Universe: One Year In #1

[superboyprime]

"I would say I’m doing research more about the world around us and trying to draw as much of that as I can in a fictional way, which I think is the core mission statement of really any Ultimate book for me just because of what Mark and Bryan did in the original. It’s not to say that you’re going to see US President Biden in this book or anything like that, but you’re definitely gonna see, like I said, I’m trying to draw from the real world and maybe some lesser known parts of real world history and maybe some very obvious satire of real world issues. So it’s kind of a mix of all those things. So yeah, I would say Planetary and Global Frequency in terms of some of the structure of the book, but the actual substance of the book is the world I see around me." - Deniz Camp

All-New Venom #1

[laughing_tree]

I’ve actually grabbed up the document where Al was grading all the candidates so we can see who was NEARLY in the book. These folks weren’t really in the running to be the real host, but they were in the running to be red herrings. Looks like Rick Sheridan and Melvin Potter were the first knocked off the list. Cardiac, Foolkiller, Puma, and Chameleon didn’t get much further. Rocket Racer and Hypno Hustler were in serious contention. D-Man was THIS CLOSE to making it, but honestly, he was last seen in such a wholesome place. I would have been sad to screw up his life. The biggest shock, though -- or maybe not, if you’re a long-term Al Ewing fan -- is that I had to really talk Al out of making Peeper one of the final suspects. -- Jordan White
