Ultimate Origins is a comic book limited series published by Marvel Comics, scheduled to be released in June 2008[1] It falls under Marvel's Ultimate Marvel imprint. It will be written by Brian Bendis and illustrated by Butch Guice. it is intended to be a "chapter in the development of "Ultimatum", a crossover event scheduled to begin in September 2008.
Jeph Loeb has stated in an interview with ComicBookResources.com: "What Ultimate Origin is going to do is sort of tell us how it all began. ... The Ultimate Universe isn't very old, so this isn't a cosmic story. You're not going to see the birth of a planet. What you'll see is how the superhero community was introduced into the human population. So you'll learn the importance of things like the Super Soldier program, which has been hinted at in Ultimate Spider-Man and Ultimates 1 and 2. Now, Brian is going to connect the dots.".[2]
I hope this interjects the Ultimates with the government conspiracy vibe that was one of the prevalent themes on Millar's run. I find it ironic that post Ultimates 2, heroes have moved away from the government and in the post civil war MU, heroes have become government operatives or terrorists.........
