Spider-Man Meet Spider-Man

Man, I said the same thing...Bendis is at his best when he's doing Ultimate Spider-Man. And so something like that has loads of story potential.

Not to mention, Peter wrestling with the idea that in some world he was an even younger superhero and died...and that his legacy inspired someone else. Let alone how effed up the Ultimate world is because of mutants...

Then you have Miles who's going to see his childhood hero all grown up and a member of the Avengers and Fantastic Four.

I don't know about the other Ultimate titles (I've read some threads and it seems that Ultimates isn't that bad either), but Ultimate Spider-Man is a fantastic book imo and far form irrelevant. As Majestic points out, this particular story is ripe with some very strong emotional story beats, so I'm not going to count it out just yet.

edit:

Would Miles know that Reed is a bad guy?

And why would he consider the Ultimates D-bags? His only run in with them ended with him beating Electro.

It's original point, and telling worthwhile stories(Ultimates, X-Men and any mini have largely fallen flat to me and Ultimate Spider-Man is just finding it's feet).


And BC, doesn't most of the world know that the Ultimates were at least partially responsible for Peter's death...I can't remember. It was long ago and not incredibly memorable story

I'm not sure the world blames them for his death. Petey was heart and he died fighting the bad guys. Not sure if that makes them being viewed as bad to the world. Perhaps some people, I'm not sure. I'm not reading Ultimates right now (although I feel like I should) so I'm not up on things.

Interesting...see now I'm going to have to buy the first couple of issues on my Kindle...thanks Majestic

FYI, Ultimate Hawkeye has a different name, but it's really just four more issues of Ultimates that take place during the first arc. It, too, is Hickman-penned.

Somebody has to use this as the chance to explain to Miles that the clause "until death do us part" only refers specifically to the two parties who sign the marriage contract.

If there was anytime that such a crossover could happen, as I prefer them staying separate as well, I think it would be now for the 50th anniversary of Spider-Man.
