I don't give a single gently caress if it was stupid or not (it was), I'm just happy that Peter and MJ get to be happy with each other in some universe, at least. Until Dan Slott brings them into Spider-Verse and brutally murders them both, anyway.

I get what you mean but if he's brought back so clumsily just to never be seen again it feels like it would have been better leaving him dead. If all that matters is that he gets a happy ending then you can just pretend USM ended right before Ultimatum started. His life was as perfect as it would ever be at that point.

Out of all of the Miles Morales era, this issue was a new low. There were at least 6 pages where I didn't have any idea what was going on. Was the narrative nonlinear? Whatever the intention, any sense of motion or action is completely lost. And I think Dave Marquez is a great artist!

If I want to catch up on Miles after Ultimate Comics Spider-Man, where do I go? Is it straight in to Miles Morales: Spider Man, or are there some Cataclysm issues I should pick up?

There's a three-issue Cataclysm tie-in with Miles that's pretty important to the new series.

1) Your Uncle Aaron had me working for some guy named Turk. 2) Nick Fury contacted me before I did anything too stupid, but told me to work for the guy as a cover. 3) Turk got too big for his britches and crossed a guy named Kingpin. That only leaves 19 pages to tell us ANYTHING else.

ANXM was definitely the superior Ultimate Spider-Man book this week, seeing as how it made the bold move to actually feature Ultimate Spider-Man for more than one page. Although 114°? Seriously? Christ Bendis, Atlanta is not located directly underneath a hole in the ozone layer. I guess the Ultimate Universe is just hotter.

These past two issues of Ultimate Spider-Man make me think that back when Bendis saw the Amazing Spider-Man films, he saw the painfully long scenes where Peter's parents do thrilling adventure poo poo no one cares about, but instead of just not giving a poo poo like most audiences, Bendis' eyes lit up like a kid's on Christmas morning and he thought "This. This Spider-Parent secret origin backstory is what fans want! gently caress Spider-Man!"

Also the cover for this issue was super misleading. The cover is Miles in a SHIELD uniform flying through the sky with a team of agents, but the story is his dad doing some poo poo with Fury in the 70s.

Frankly, I'm just glad this whole backstory wasn't just an excuse for "sorry Miles, but I'm not your dad--FURY is!!!!" Cause man, when they released the covers/synopsis for these issues, I was nervous.

Given that Miles is the last Ultimate Spider-Man book it's time for reboot number a million, change everything about the universe and just hope something sticks.

At this point the best case scenario would probably be to create a Exiles-esque Spider-Verse on-going of cast-off Spider-Men and feature Miles in that (and let Ganke tag along for some reason). Bendis finally appears to be spinning his wheels in the last Ultimate book.

Actually the more I think about it the more sense it makes to keep Ultimate Spider-man and have it be the sort of central book. Bendis can still really hammer it out when he needs to but it's the idea of having that universe support several individual books at the same time which is where it seems to fall apart. I really liked Ultimate Hawkeye and I'm honestly really surprised that they didn't do more mini's like that. Have a core book, have one Ultimates miniseries every year or two when something really big happens (the whole point of the Ultimates is that they should only be deployed when poo poo is getting real - having them be a constant thing just kind of made it seem stupid, blow it up, push it off a cliff) and sprinkle in a few minis here and there to keep you up to date with characters that you might give a poo poo about. Spidey is about the little interpersonal and street level doodads of Miles. It should be reactive and character driven, I guess, with the minis being event driven or something.

One can only hope that Marvel has finally learned the obvious lesson of the 2009, 2011, and 2014 relaunches, and is finally ready to set aside a misplaced sense of pride and accept that the line has simply outlived its relevance.

None of the Marvel reboots have been DC level, and part of me feels that this year's event might end up being the Marvel equivalent of Crisis on Infinite Earths at its most severe or something less significant but still changing the status quo, at the very least

Civil War is just a section of Battle World in Secret Wars, it's not them redoing Civil War. Now doing Secret Wars again.
