Ultimate Spider-Man: Incursion #4
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIssue #4 of Ultimate Spider-Man: Incursion serves as the penultimate chapter of the new Ultimate Universe's first-ever inter-title crossover event, making it a structurally pivotal installment in the second era of Marvel's Ultimate line. Most significantly for collectors and character historians, it delivers the Earth-6160 first appearances of both Blink (Clarice Ferguson) and Longshot, introducing yet another pair of reinterpreted mutant characters into a continuity that has consistently reimagined classic Marvel figures in surprising ways. The issue also deepens the miniseries' central dramatic stakes by ending on a cliffhanger in which Emmanuel Da Costa (the Black King) seizes Billie Morales and presents her to the City — a development that directly sets up the finale's confrontation with the Maker's Council. As a crossover touching all five ongoing Ultimate titles of its era, this issue exemplifies the line's ambition to function as a fully interconnected shared universe from only its second year of existence.

The Incursion miniseries was conceived as the first crossover event for Marvel's second Ultimate Universe, co-written by Deniz Camp — the architect of the flagship Ultimates title — and Cody Ziglar, the regular writer of Miles Morales: Spider-Man, making it a deliberate fusion of the 616 and Earth-6160 corners of Marvel publishing. The series was structured to thread through all five active Ultimate ongoing titles simultaneously, a logistical ambition that Marvel and editor Wilson Moss had been building toward throughout the line's debut year. A prologue appeared in the Free Comic Book Day 2025 one-shot on May 3, 2025, with the main series launching June 4, 2025, and issue #4 shipping September 10, 2025; the entire series was collected in trade paperback in February 2026. Artist Jonas Scharf, who had already established the visual tone of Earth-6160 in Ultimate Universe: One Year In, carried that moody aesthetic across all five issues.
