Comics The Ultimate Comics Spider-Man Thread!!!

[spiderbob]

It's got to be quite an ego booster to hear that America's personal soldier boy and number one revered hero wants you thrown in jail.

Woah woah! When did tony start dating danvers? :S

Woah woah! When did tony start dating danvers? :S

They were together in New Ultimates, this is the first time their relationship is referenced in another series.

MYSTERIO IS THE ALL TIME BEST VILLAIN IN THE ENTIRE WORLD. Does anyone agree? I mean- come one, he's so awesome in the ultimate universe.

 

[JoeyConQueso]

I think he talks too much.


Personally, the book's been a lot of fun since the reboot but I have no clue what the heck they're gonna do with this whole Death thing.

 

[Don Yoyo]

I think he talks too much.

More fuel for my theory that Mysterio is really Wade Wilson t: !

To answer the initial question, I really like him. He's funny yet dangerous, and he has good interactions with the other characters.

When does Bagley take over? I haven't read since Ultimatum, but would really like to see Bag's art on Spidey again.

 

[Don Yoyo]

One issue with Chris Samnee next week, and then Bagley is back in the game. So on March 23rd I think you will see his pencils again.

 

[mre]

Awesome, thanks.

Jugding by the covers, the

Sinister Six (Green Goblin, Electro, Kraven, Doctor Octopus, Vulture, and Sandman)

may have something to do with the Death of Spider-Man arc!

 

[spida-man]

did anybody pick up the latest issue?

 

[Toxin]

Ultimate Spider-man was the comic book that got me INTO comic books. I've read the first 100 or so issues plenty of times, but now...

I logged on for the first time in months to say I am disgusted with the state of the series. I was that superfan who gave Bendis the benefit of the doubt even in moments many called the series' darkest, like the Carnage arc, but I just couldn't follow anymore after Ultimatum. I tried, I really tried.

I think it hit me when the Hood (Kitty or whoever) gave a word-for-word speech identical to the one Peter gave after Gwen died in one of the first relaunch comics. Recycled art is one thing, but dialogue? Who's editing this book?

The art, I could have lived with. I detest most anime, but in comics, the art is ultimately just a vehicle for the story and Lafuente wasn't THAT awful. Just another irritant, in my mind.

But the real breaking point was when Aunt May took in Iceman. Johnny Storm, maybe. But in the first issues, we knew that Aunt May was struggling to keep afloat financially even with Ben's income. Now you're telling me she can support four kids? What? And yeah, sure, people are a little suspicious, but you'd think that'd raise more of an alarm to the neighbors or something. I just couldn't swallow it. It was too contrived.

Yeah, sure, Mysterio and Chameleon were good interpretations. But they're a few nuggets of corn in a whole lot of turd.

NOW we have the Death of Ultimate Spider-man. Or should I say, the Second Death of Spider-man.

Because Bendis effectively promised that if he hadn't died in Ultimatum (and I could've lived with that), there "might even be a new Spider-man!" Remember that? You could say I was at least a little confused when Issue 1 of the relaunch hit and Spidey was still wearing the webs.

You know, even if he dies now, the premise loses its gravity for me, or any appeal. It's a cheap gimmick. Everyone already mourned him as dead. OH, but this time, he's REALLY dead. NOTHING WILL BE THE SAME. "Nothing will be the same" is the tagline for every issue of every comic Marvel puts out lately, especially the Spider-man ones. Shouldn't that be the point of a story in the first place?

Stories need a beginning, middle, and end. Even comics. Ultimate Spider-man had an incredibly strong, resonant beginning. I didn't expect an end anytime soon. But once characters start inexplicably spouting speeches said 80 issues ago by completely different characters in different circumstances, in a book with fewer issues than 99% of the comics out there, you've lost me. If the writers don't care about continuity or progression, why should we?

...my apologies to the fans out there. Just venting some steam. Maybe I'll come back when I have the money to someday. I don't know. I just wonder if anyone sees it this way, too.

First look at the new Ultimate Spider-Man:

I haven't visited a comic store in a while...can someone bring me up to speed on this storyline?

 

[Spec Spider-Man]

The new Ultimate Spider-Man suite looks very Ben Reilly.

 

[JoeyConQueso]

Certain elements bring the suit from the new movie to mind for me

 

[spidey-dude]

The new Ultimate Spider-Man suite looks very Ben Reilly.

errrrrr how so?


think the new suit looks horrible

 

[Spec Spider-Man]

errrrrr how so?


think the new suit looks horrible

How so? That it pretty much has the same design as Reilly's Spider-Man suit, along with the web fingers.

 

[spidey-dude]

no, its completely different - the only similar bit is the fingers really

and speaking of the fingers I dont think they match the rest of the costume

 

[Spec Spider-Man]

and speaking of the fingers I dont think they match the rest of the costume

So does the way the design points downward is like Reilly, with the big spider on the chest (I know the spider design on the chest is different), and it cuts off on the shoulders similar as well.

 

[TayDee]

Any guesses to who you think is gonna be the new spiderman

 

[spidey-dude]

pete with a new identity

i think he will look different - dyed hair, different do, contacts

and for the first few issues we wont know its him - they will show the supporting cast without him etc...

then we will have a reveal and it turns out he faked his death for some reason (everyone found out he was spiderman or something)

 

[TayDee]

I don't know, in issue 157 it shows him getting shot in his back and that there's more to come so I don't think something like that will happen

Sounds interesting tho

 

[SpideyInATree]

That new suit does look pretty bad ass if I must say. It'll be interesting to see how this all turns out especially after what happened at the end of ish # 157.

And how about that fight between Goblin and Ock?

Spoiler

Can't believe he actually killed off Doc Ock!!

 

[Infidel]

How can they get Ultimate Spider-man's end so right and destroy Amazing Spider-man by doing something so bad and so wrong?

How can they do that?

Also, how could they

Spoiler

kill Ultimate Doc Ock!

or

Spoiler

turn Doc Ock into a lame villian reminescent of Gaunt from the end of the Clone Saga

. I'd like to take an axe and

Spoiler

hug all the editors at Marvel

and burn

Spoiler

a flame in rememberance of Ultimate Spider-man if he dies

houses down.

All of those people at Marvel can go

Spoiler

keep doing their fine work

!

YEAH!

 

[spida-man]

does anybody know where i can find an image of a pencil version of issue 156?
