Ultimate Comics Thread - Part 1

[kguillou]

Something tells me people are going to like this Miles kid, he sounds and looks like a normal kid that happens to be black and not some "ghetto-fied" token black character that comics usually push on us.

 

[DareDemon]

When I first read the Bendis interview with him basically only saying "He's 13, black, and latino", I was worried. I was worried that it was gonna be "Look how not racist we are by having a minority!" and it would focus on race and "the black world". After reading more interviews, seeing some art, etc, I'm really excited.

I'm sick of black superheros being named "Black Something". I'm sick of black superheroes always having to be criminals or framed as criminals. I'm sick of black superheroes coming from the ghetto or broken families. I'm excited for Miles. I expect great things from this kid. I'll miss Ultimate Peter Parker, may he rest in peace. But I welcome Miles Morales into a scary, depressing world. Keep your chin up, kid. And good luck. You're gonna need it.

Ultmate Fallout #6 ends with a sweet surprise by Bendis regarding Nick Fury & Spider-Man, but besides that nothing really happens yet again and it's really a setup for the relaunch. Captain America has quit, The X-Men are using the Morlock tunnels and some hidden HQs there as their base of operations and Aunt May & Gwen Stacy have moved to france, but w ealready know those two are coming back when the world learns about the new Spider-Man.

 

[WolfCypher]

A Brave New Ultimate era and I still don't know if Peter's parents were killed by the Hulk when Peter was a baby (Ultimate Origin) or in a plane crash when Peter was like 5 (USM's Venom arc)...

Wile I don't want Miles to have too much in common with Peter, I do hope he turns out to be a very intelligent character.

 

[chris moore]

Um, do we know how he got his powers yet? Or how closely they match Peters? Or how he can produce webs?

 

[Drz]

He was bitten by a Spider, he will have new powers that Peter never had, but he has strenght and agility. He will likely receive the web slingers from someone close to Peter, or he gains organic ones and is framed a Mutant by the fans.

 

[kguillou]

You know what would be an interesting twist? What if Miles is a mutant who was born with the powers of a spider?

 

[Drz]

Miles Morales is a Menace! JJ Jameson was right all these years, that cursed Spidey is truly a criminal!

 

[CConn]

No more than two weeks after they create a black Spider-Man, a black guy robs a convience store as Spider-Man?

Where's Nelson when you need him?

Jonathan Hickman's Ultimates #1 preview!

Now thats a very good preview if i must say so myself. I just can't imagen Odin tolerating with Asgardians stealing beer however, you'd atleast think Thor would give the factory workers some gold in return to ensure no jobs would be lost or no payments ignored because of the wreckage his ignorant people caused. Tony Stark having a new Jarvis, keeping Pepper Pots as the secretary but introducing a "Body Guard" for Tony seems an interesting move, i do like Tony's and Nick's exchange what they dream about haha.

The art is just pure killer tho, hot daamn!

 

[storyteller]

Officially I think the Parkers were killed by the Hulk and I guess he got the whole plane crash bit confused........even though their were pictures. I don't know...

Anyway I'm excited for the Ultimates. It seems like Marvel went

"guys um everything except Spiderman was ****e since Ultimate Origin"

 

[Roose Bolton]

I'm not 100% on this, but I think I remeber Bendis saying that Hulk only injured the Parkers or some nonsense and that they "actually" died from the plane crash caused by venom....or something.

 

[Scarecrow_King]

Brian Michael Bendis. Ignoring not only other writer's stories, but his own. I'm glad I didn't read that Ultimate Origins ****.

 

[Mass Nerder]

Just wondering, I haven't read Ultimate Avengers 3 yet but I'm very curious what's up with DareDevil? I know Ultimate Matt died during Ultimatum so who is this guy and why does he have on the old school DD suit?

 

[chris moore]

Ignore him - for your own sanity

I guess I'm remembering this wrong but I thought Peter was told his parents died in a plane crash but was actually killed when Ult. Hulk was created.

Stick, the man who trained the original Daredevil Matt Murdock needs a new prodigy againts their constant shadow wars againts Vampires, Werewolves, Voodoo Masters. We learn that Blade, Daredevil (Matt), Stick, Stone and Shaft (yes you heard me!) all belonged to the same Ninja clan under the guidance of Anthony, these ninjas have been part of this mentioned shadow wars and the war is escalating to a worse situation.

Stick needs more recruits, so he fidns Ray Conner who well, yeah he had the same origin as Matt Murdock for crying out loud lol, but he is a spunky 13 year old kid who loves Spider-Man! Thats why he wanted a superhero costume more or less, because Spider-Man is kewl.

The vampires get Stick and Kid Daredevil however and Blade is forced to put them down.

 

[Dan Ketch]

It's lame that they killed Peter Parker but I can accept it as part of the story, that's fine. What I don't like is them replacing him with an even younger, less experienced kid that I'm supposed to think is gonna stand a better chance than Peter Parker did. I don't want them to bring Peter back but it's just lame to me that this is how they replace him, what would be dope though is if they set up Miles as the new Spider-Man and he gets killed in like issue #10 or something, no one would see that coming and it would be awesome! Let's be real, a 13 year old kid with no experience is gonna have any luck battling Green Goblin or any villian? Kangaroo should have killed him in that Fallout issue...

Parts of that sound awesome and parts of that sound unbelievably lame.

I wouldn't mind seeing this outcome, then have the title switch to Jessica Drew/Spiderwoman aka Ultimate female Peter Parker...

 

[Venom160]

^Would love to see Jess take over the title. Hopefully she tears this spider-man a new one for taking up the mantle. Shame they didn't bother showing her reaction to pete's death in ult fallout.

 

[Kevin]

For all we know, Nick is gonna go out of his way to make sure Miles gets training. That or try like hell to get Miles to take off the suit.
