[QUOTE="Kevin Perrine, post: 1622618, member: 20347"] I assume you mean what "issue number" of the Ultimate comic series...(?) The answer... Assume that it's the most current issue (once the actual story thread begins). however, that is not the ONLY gauge of our game. The problem in saying "this is all according to official Ultimate canon" or specifically set in the comic series is that SOME of the players will not have read any of the Ultimate comics. That's okay. That's not necessary for the point of our game. Like the original comic series of the "SECRET WARS" the characters will be taken out of their continuity and pulled to another world by the BEYONDER. In the original comics of each hero entering the SW, they left in the current issue and then NEXT month they returned, some having changed (like Spidey in his new black suit) and none of them mentioning anything that happened in the SECRET WARS limited series... Why? Because the limited Series actually lasted for 12 issues - over the course of a year AFTER they first disappeared. So... long story short. We will be pulling the Heroes from the Ultimate setting from the most current comic on the stands as of next week or so... BUT We will assume they return to their continuity the very next issue in their comic series JUST LIKE the original limited series. This allows us to have a "what if" type story and still feel like it COULD BE a part of the real continuity. Even if characters were to change (or die!!) when they are returned to their main comic line they'll have forgotten their dealings in this Secret War to save the universe (just like the original) does that make sense...? -kev- [/QUOTE]
