"Ultimate X-Men/Ultimate Fantastic Four Annual" #1

Marvel Comics has provided CBR News with an exclusive first look at the covers to the "Ultimate X-Men/Fantastic Four Annual" #1 and "Ultimate Fantastic Four/X-Men Annual" #1 (featuring members of the future FF and X-Men), which were previously advertised with covers showing bloodied logos for each team. Tying into the upcoming "Ultimatum" mini-series, a team of X-Men from the future attempt to kill the current Ultimate FF in order to ensure that the events of Ultimatum never occur in the Ultimate Universe.

In addition to the covers, CBR also has your first look at interiors from both Annuals, providing some clues as to what exactly is in store for the Ultimate Universe in "Ultimatum."
