Godwheel

The Godwheel saga was launched in January of 1995 as a four-issue, biweekly mini-series. Its cosmic storyline revolves around a gigantic celestial body known as the Godwheel. This was the last artifact of an ancient race of godlike “Builders” who have populated it with samples of life from throughout the universe.

As a result of the events in this series, the Marvel Universe would cross into Malibu Comics’ Ultraverse. This paralleled the real-life events of 1995, when Marvel made a successful bid to acquire rival Malibu Comics. As such, Godwheel marked the last stage of the original Ultraverse. In the months that followed its release, most of the original Ultraverse titles were canceled, while a number of Marvel/Ultraverse crossover specials were launched. Only the most successful of the Ultraverse titles (Mantra, Prime) were renewed to start again after the acquisition.
