Laura Haskell — June 18, SJ- Community Manager — June 19, Sally Schrock — June 18, Xrizzy — June 18, Great set. Louis Hazard — June 19, SJ- Community Manager — June 20, Ingvar — June 20, Annabel Smith — June 21, Awesome spot and I do believe that you may be right!

It is not an exact match, but similar and the same feel as Cebo, Centauri, and Kiona. I would love to know the final answer.

Annabel Smith — December 2, Annabel Smith — January 8, Bryan Clawson — January 4, Annabel Smith — January 7, Thanks so much for pointing this out Bryan, this is really helpful! We hope to be able to solve this mystery for you really soon, so as soon as we know which font Angelina used, we will let you know :.

We have just heard back from Angelina on this Bryan, and this is actually Evolve :. It may be that Angelina used a few stylistic alternates with her text, or adjusted them herself to suit her needs, which is why a few of the characters appear slightly different to the regular style.

Named for the Marvel Comics " Ultimate Marvel " line, which sought to update and streamline decades of continuity with an Alternate Continuity sub-brand without canceling out the original storyline. Most superheroes under the "Ultimate" umbrella brand are given reboots of their own, but on a smaller scale — Spider-Man 's 'radioactive spider' origin story was replaced with an updated 'genetically engineered spider' version.

Fan Fiction writers frequently do this in Alternate Universe Fics , essentially rebooting the mythos to incorporate their own ideas, Fanon , and other material.

Stretched-out presentation of the same? Helmed by a popular creator of original works in his own right? Updated characterizations that sometimes toy with the original creator 's personas? Yeah, it's an Ultimate book, at least as we know them now. Anime and Manga. However, so many changes were made, from character designs to backstory to the overall plot, complete with a pseudo- Gainax Ending , that most fans of the original series were rather unimpressed with the end product.

As a result, Mobile Suit Gundam has seven of these! SEED is a more explicit example, as it bears a lot of similarities to the original series and is sometimes called "21st Century First Gundam" by Sunrise. Seed and 00 have entire separate lines dedicated to them, making them stand out even more as reboot series. There was also For The Barrel , an obscure Light Novel -styled story featured in Newtype magazine with radically redesigned characters and mecha.

Naoki Urasawa, creator of Monster , did this for Astro Boy with Pluto , which is specifically a slower-paced and more maturely-toned adaptation of the iconic "The Strongest Robot in the World" story arc.

One reviewer explicitly compares it to Ultimate Marvel see page quote. The animated series also arguably qualifies, as it took many of the unrelated storylines from the largely continuity-free classic manga and wove them together into a cohesive story-arc.

The Tenchi Muyo! OVAs have two: Tenchi Universe , which has all the main characters and more or less a basic outlining of their backgrounds, plus another character and the same Big Bad , and Tenchi in Tokyo , with pretty much the main characters in the latter. Go Nagai 's Devilman series possibly qualifies - there's a comic series , s anime TV series , and three linked OVAs released between and ; each one of them retells the same events but in an updated, refined, condensed way.

And, of course, there's Devilman Lady , which is something of a combined ultimate edition, Stealth Sequel and full-on reboot Mazinkaiser and Shin Mazinger could be seen as this to the original Mazinger Z. Neo, which is based on the anime based on the manga. This is Hideaki Anno 's stated intention with Rebuild of Evangelion. However, there is evidence to suggest it may also be a Stealth Sequel to the original series as well.

Ghost in the Shell : Almost every adaptation is this, usually taking a darker and more realistic approach to the manga and its themes. In particular, Ghost in the Shell: Arise has all the hallmarks of an Ultimate Universe , complete with a Younger and Hipper re-imagining of the familiar cast, personality changes for some characters, and origin stories that have been updated or in some cases greatly tweaked.

Essentially it's "Ultimate Ghost in the Shell" in all but name. The adaptation of Fullmetal Alchemist , in the sense that it distills parts of the manga while giving it a much darker tone, handles it a bit more realistically the fight scenes are often short and brutal instead of epic spectacles, while the villains are a bit more fleshed out and their origins more grounded, so to speak and deconstructs certain aspects of the original.

It also exists as an Alternate Continuity , and adds a new spin to the overall plot. After JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean ended, Part 7 and beyond take place in a new continuity, but with a number of familiar albeit sometimes renamed characters and concepts, with other similar plot beats, many of which were tweaked to keep the narrative fresh, and mixing in elements from previous Parts such as Part 8 revisiting the Morioh setting of Part 4, but with the Rock Humans, antagonists that are analogous to Part 2's Pillar Men, along with the protagonist named Josuke being significantly different.

The Ultraman manga and its subsequent anime adaptation in is this for the Showa era of the Ultra Series. Interestingly, the Continuity Reboot that comes with Ultimate Universes only applies to everything after the original Ultraman series, at which point it diverges into a modernized Darker and Edgier distillation where various familiar faces like Ultraseven and Ultraman Ace appear but are only recognizable by their Powered Armor resembling their original counterparts.

Comic Books. The primary changes made to the series is the Setting Update , with the superhero-mutant era being identified as The s. The mutant phenomenon is originally the linchpin for the series, with Magneto being the Greater-Scope Villain for the series as opposed to Doctor Doom , the X-Men being the first super-team and The Ultimates the Avengers' new name being formed as a response to both Magneto and avoiding dependency on the X-Men.

SHIELD is the primary Government Agency of Fiction and the overall arc for the entire franchise is Genetic Engineering is the New Nuke with many plots and schemes tied back to the idea of recreating the Super Serum that worked perfectly in Captain America but in the hands of Norman Osborn leads to accidents Peter Parker being bitten by one of his experimental spiders, which leads to Osborn making himself the Green Goblin and so on and in the case of the Fantastic Four, leads to experiments in the Negative Zone.

A possible factor in their failure is their attempt to replace the then-current continuity. Ed Piskor's X-Men: Grand Design is a personal attempt to do a same-medium Adaptation Distillation and turn over fifty years of tangled X-Men canon into a coherent narrative.

They even had a crossover with the actual Ultimate Universe once. The series aren't supposed to take place in any particular continuity although All-Star Batman and Robin does supposedly take place in the same continuity as Frank Miller 's other Batman stories , and are supposed to be a concentration of what makes those characters special. As well, Justice is basically All-Star Superfriends , even if it couldn't legally be called that.

The characters are all younger, more violent and asocial than the regular continuity. The New 52 relaunch also has some of this, but confusingly not always.

Some series are just continuations of old series with renumbered issues while others are complete reboots or retellings. Can be quite confusing to tell which is which at times. Ironic, as the whole point of the New 52 was to make things less confusing for new readers. It's worth nothing that the WSU was semi-rebooted once before, but never in a scale such as this.

Devil's Due Publishing attempted a more realistic take on the G. Joe franchise with G. Joe: Reloaded. IDW Publishing 's Transformers Generation 1 material, but this can be said of damn near all modern Transformers material. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles IDW has taken it upon itself to become this, introducing characters and concepts from different incarnations of the property and blending them together.

Paperinik New Adventures , which ran from to , got this treatment in the form of the less-acclaimed PK , that ended in The Multiversity : The aim of Thunderworld is to be this in regards to Shazam!

Both are in turn expies of the Trope Namer. Switch is this for Witchblade and several other Top Cow properties. The series is set in an alternate universe where the Witchblade is wielded by a teenage girl named Mary, and has a Lighter and Softer and decidedly less Stripperific style. Rogue Trooper 's reboot was intended to be this, with a reimagining of the main GI and his connection to his comrades and equipment Mega Man: Defender of the Human Race is one for the Mega Man cartoon and the games; it combines them while adding original characters and plot developments.

Mega Man Reawakened takes elements from every version of Mega Man to create an original universe. Mega Man Recut is one for the cartoon and the games, with every Robot Master set to appear and a heavily layered plot. Mega Man: Reunified Universe is yet another tv-series-like Mega Man AU fanfic that blends most of the games and adaptations together, along with some elements from Mighty No. Child of the Storm is an odd, crossover based variant of this - it distils various Marvel and DC continuities into a mix featuring Harry Potter and The Dresden Files and Marvel Cinematic Universe the latter is essentially taking the films as a basis and incorporating comics based material and putting a whole bunch of personal top spin to create an entirely original merged universe.
