Some fans have expressed concerns about the conclusion of the Ultimate Universe, questioning whether it’s the best choice for such popular Marvel comics and even speculating it’s a deceptive tactic by the publisher.

Good news for Monster Hunter fans! Fabius, a familiar face and now the leader of the Hunter’s Guild in Monster Hunter Wilds, will be available again as a Support Hunter. While he won’t replace a full team of players, he’s a great option if you need an extra hand and don’t have a group of four.

In the past, some manga series haven’t even reached 18 or 19 chapters before being canceled.
