Ultimatum

In 2009 and 2010, Panini Deutschland published "Ultimatum," a four-issue series that brought a definitive, world-shaking conclusion to the publisher's Ultimate universe imprint. Written by Jörg Tonna and illustrated by artists including José María Beroy and Horacio Domingues, this German-original story reshaped the status quo for its homegrown heroes. It matters as a bold, self-contained event that gave Panini's own Ultimate line a distinct, high-stakes identity separate from its American counterpart.
