ULTIMATE COMICS FALLOUT PREMIERE HARDCOVER

Ultimate Comic Fallout was a series of personal short stories loosely held together and sets the stage for the three new ongoing series: Ultimate Spider-Man, Ultimate X-Men, and Ultimates. New York City mourns the death of Peter Parker as Tony Stark puts the bill for the funeral. Steve Rogers confesses to May Parker he was responsible for the death of her nephew. May Parker walks out of the funeral after slapping Steve Rogers and collapses as J. Jonah Jameson arrives to help her up and return back to the funeral services. Mary Jane blames the superhero community including Nick Fury and the Ultimates.

Four days prior at Gregory Stark’s funeral, Tony meets with Jonathan Blackhaven who takes him to Zurich, Switzerland to become the part of super-elite Kratos Club. They ask him to make the right decision and join them.

Following the events of Ultimate X, Karen Grant gains control over the Hulk through Bruce Banner as Nick Fury offers protection. Meanwhile Kitty Pryde storms out of the Peter Parker’s funeral and meets up with both Bobby Drake and Johnny Storm. Rogue reminisces about her fallen comrades within the X-Men and prays for what comes next. Valerie Cooper prepares as the entire world is about to find out the US government created mutants.
