Ultimate X-Men Comic (2024)

Ultimate X-Men (2024) launches a bold reimagining of Marvel’s mutant legacy, written and illustrated by visionary creator Peach Momoko (Demon Days, Star Wars). Set in a newly forged Ultimate Universe, this series introduces a fresh cast of young mutants unlike any seen before. At the center of the story is Hisako Ichiki, a teenage girl in Japan who dreams of an ordinary life—attending school, spending time with friends, and steering clear of the growing unrest left in the wake of Ultimate Invasion. But when strange urban legends begin to manifest as real, supernatural phenomena, Hisako discovers she’s part of something far bigger. Gifted with powerful new abilities, she becomes Armor, one of the first in a new generation of X-Men. Joined by mysterious allies like Maystorm and others whose origins are deeply rooted in myth and legend, Hisako must navigate a world where the line between magic and mutation blurs. As society shifts and tensions rise, these young mutants will face forces determined to shape—or destroy—the future of their kind. Blending Japanese folklore, ethereal artwork, and emotional depth, Ultimate X-Men is a striking, genre-bending reinvention that explores identity, power, and destiny in a universe still finding its way.
