Description

⚡ The Ultimate Universe’s first-year milestone in Tao’s exclusive vision — Ivan Tao’s Unknown Comics exclusive variant for Ultimate Universe: One Year In #1 (2nd Printing), the special celebratory one-shot marking the first full year of Marvel’s extraordinary 2024 Ultimate Universe relaunch. When a comic goes to a second printing, it means the first printing sold through faster than anticipated — demand exceeded supply, new readers and collectors arrived after the first print was gone, and Marvel ordered another run. The second printing of a special issue like Ultimate Universe: One Year In #1 carries the validation of a book that people genuinely wanted, and Ivan Tao’s Unknown Comics exclusive for this second printing gives collectors the premium variant access they missed in the first run. Ultimate Universe: One Year In #1 is a celebratory one-shot surveying the new Ultimate Universe after its first year — the landscape of reimagined icons assessed, the creative achievements of the first year of Ultimate Spider-Man, Ultimate Black Panther, Ultimate X-Men, and the other new titles celebrated and contextualized. Ivan Tao’s cover art brings a fresh, energetic visual language to this milestone one-shot — the Ultimate Universe’s new visual identity in Tao’s distinctive exclusive form. ⚡ The standard exclusive and its virgin companion (also available) offer collectors both configurations of Tao’s cover for this milestone issue.

This is the Ultimate Universe: One Year In #1 (2nd Printing) Ivan Tao Exclusive Variant — the Unknown Comics exclusive, standard format, second printing (companion: virgin exclusive also available).

Returns & Exchange

Take your time — you've got a full six months. If a piece isn't right for you, send it back the way it reached you and we're good.

In the first 30 days your money goes straight back the way you paid. After that it's store credit, so you can put it toward something you'd rather have.

Return shipping we sort out between us, case by case. I don't make this difficult.

If something arrives damaged, or it isn't what I said it was, send me a photo within 48 hours and I'll make it right.

Email [email protected] or call 802-356-9872 — that's me answering, not a call center.

The only things I can't take back are custom or special-order pieces and gift cards.
