Between Ultimatum, Cataclysm, and a few other relaunches, I'm pretty surprised we haven't already seen the death-knell of Marvel's Ultimate Universe. At this point, the only book that still sells is Brian Bendis' Ultimate Spider-Man, the vanguard of the entire line. Both Ultimate FF and Ultimates have been a total flop, with the former never really working, and the latter only doing so when Mark Millar or Jonathan Hickman were attached.
At this point, the mainstream Marvel Universe is about as accessible, and will likely be more so as it moves closer in line with the Marvel Cinematic offerings.
So, with that said, here's your next teaser for Summer 2015, hopefully, we're finally really saying good-bye to Ultimate Marvel. It was a long overdue execution. I'm sure, much like Spider-Gwen, Miles Morales will get his own title that isn't specifically "Ultimate-branded".
