Ultimate Mercenary is an LNH miniseries written by Jeanne Morningstar starring the eponymous wannabe ninja, beginning in 2003 – and ending in 2012. Oh yes.
It lasted seven issues, each issue getting progressively longer, and expanding from the adventures of one prodigal hero versus evil tomatoes to a dizzying tour of cosmic heights.
The first five issues, which cross over with Flame Wars VI, can be read here, #6 is here, and #7 (which crosses over with a lot of things) is long enough to be in three parts.
Legacy
The ending leads into the in-progress Just Imagine Saxon Brenton and the Writers of RACC in: RACCies the Final! Symphony of Genesis. Afterward, the cast splits up; Ultimate Mercenary himself ends up on Earth-20 in Ultimate Mercenary v20, and The Liminals, a team that grew out of its supporting cast, ends up in Just Another Multi-Writer Cascade That Will Probably Never Have an Ending and The Liminals (series). (There's a lot going on here.) See also Ultimate Mercenary Reading Order.
