Confirmed on today's Ultimate Universe panel at San Diego, Marvel's Ultimates line is beginning to look very like NBC's Heroes. With the exception of Brian Michael Bendis' Ultimate Spider-Man series, the entire line will be written by writers from NBC's hit show; Executive producer Jeph Loeb is already writing The Ultimates, while Aron Coleite will take on the final issues of Ultimate X-Men and his Heroes-writing partner Joe Pokaski will finish off Ultimate Fantastic Four, both series finishing as a result of November's Ultimatum mini-series.
