The Ultimate Graphic Novels Collection ran for 170 issues (2016–2022). Publishing format: was ongoing series. Relaunch of the original 2012 Partworks series of graphic novels featuring Marvel characters published by Hachette Partworks Limited. This series uses the same ISSN of 2048-6774 as the later issues of the 2012 series. The 2012 series ran to 280 issues (including the 30 'classic' issues) and finished in October 2022, whereas this series ran to 170 issues but finished at the same time. While it is easy to mistake which series a given book belongs to, the easiest way to distinguish between them is by the characters at the top of each front cover, beneath the series title. In this series the characters from left to right are: Logan, Iron-Man, Spider-Man and Hulk. Each issue has two numbers; an issue number as a sticker on the cover, and a number on the spine giving the order they should be shelved in order to show a panoramic picture across the spines. While the books are the same as the 2012 series and released in a similar order, the spine numbers differ and there are no 'classic' spine numbers.
