Sam Humphries will join Jonathan Hickman on Ultimate Comics: Ultimates.
The Sacrifice creator will work as co-writer on the Marvel Comics titles from issue #10.
"It's been overwhelming, but intimidating," Humphries said at Marvel's Next Big Thing conference call.
"There's no way I could ever pass up the Ultimates," he continued, describing it as a title with "a strong identity, separate from the Marvel universe".
Hickman said that several names had been passed around for his potential co-writer, with a clear consensus falling on Humphries.
Humphries is best known for his self-published one-shot Our Love is Real.
He was announced as the writer of BOOM! Studio's Higher Earth earlier this week.
Ultimate Comics: Ultimates #10 will be published by new ongoing artist Luke Ross. It will debut in May.
