Ultimate Marvel, later known as Ultimate Comics, was an imprint of comic books published by Marvel Comics, featuring re-imagined and modernized versions of the company's superhero characters from the Ultimate Marvel Universe. The imprint ran from 2000 to 2015, starting with the Ultimate Spider-Man series and ending with the Ultimate End series. In June 2023 Ultimate Marvel has been recreated with the launch of the series Ultimate Invasion, which will lead to its full re-launch of "Ultimate Universe" in November, 2023.
