Is it blasphemy to like the new ultimate spider man?

1239

No.

Slott talks Spider-Island. MAJOR SPOILERS if you’re not all caught up.

Hey everyone,

I’m new to reading comics and I was wondering where to begin Spider-man in the current Marvel timeline. I would like to start from the beginning but don’t know what is first saga for the series.

1241

Ultimate spiderman is brand spanking new. No more recycled storylines.

1242

Okay, I was also wonder about amazing spider man, since there are over 600 issues I don’t know where the so called reboot begins everyone told me about?

1243

For 616 Spider-Man you are probably better off picking up this DVD-Rom, assuming your PC can play DVD-Roms (almost every computer can nowadays but make sure yours can. PS3s cannot play DVD-Roms FYI so if that’s your default computer look elsewhere). It collects every Amazing Spider-Man issue from 1963 all the way to 2006 including annuals. Pricey but it will save you money in the long run.

If you want to start Ultimate Spider-Man you should get the Barnes & Noble book because it covers a lot of ground in one book. Go for a used version though so you don’t pay $300 bucks though.

If you mean Ultimate Spider-Man well that’s Ultimate Spider-Man mentioned above.

If you are talking about Brand New Day, where they got rid of Spider-Man’s marriage… Lol you’re not up that yet. You’re lucky you don’t have to worry about that for a looong time. :rofl:

Ends of the Earth is shaping up pretty well.

Let’s pool our intel on this Spider-Men business if we haven’t already. I think people are all but sure that’s Peter and Miles, and it’s still not clear to me if this is a limited or an ongoing or what. What have you guys got?

1245

What I thiiink Spider-Men will be about. This going to be long but I’ll get there so just bear with me.

Recently, Slott was asked if MJ and Peter Parker will date again. Slott said we will get what we want, but not in the way we want it.

Remember Madame Web’s prediction during Spider-Island that Spider-Man had to kill someone? It seemed like Kaine took the bullet for him by killing the Queen and the prophecy was fulfilled, but what if it hasn’t been fulfilled yet and it’s still something Peter has to do?

Remember Spider-Man’s mantra after Marla’s death, ‘Nobody dies.’ He’s been able to keep that so far.

A solicit for a future Ends of the Earth story is already suggesting that Spider-Man may have to kill someone to save the world. So what if Spider-Man has no choice but to kill Doctor Octopus?

Oh and of course Doc Ock really won’t die because it’s a Marvel comic lol but Spidey (and perhaps the audience) will think he killed him for a time. Or Doc will just come back to life at some point but moving on.

Killing would make Spider-Man hang up the suit thus removing the obstacle between himself and MJ. So they’ll date again. And us fans get what we want, but not the way we want it IE Pete will date MJ but he won’t be Spidey.

So the ‘Spider-Men’ will be the people that take Spider-Man’s place after he quits.

It probably will involve an Ultimate crossover like people think. Maybe Morales will give Pete the kick in the pants he needs to get back to work? Or maybe Ultimate Pete will return to kick 616 Pete in the pants? This part is still too far away to guess about.

I’m hoping they won’t crossover with Ultimate, though I’m afraid that seems the most likely. (Mainly because the guys in the promo look super scrawny and the people writing this thing are Ultimate people.) Marvel’s never one to pass on a terrible idea.

What would make the most sense would be for it to be Kaine; at the moment Peter and Kaine are the only two legit spider men on their planet, Kaine’s comic needs the boost, and you’d have two spider guys who’d probably have pretty good chemistry without having to do any lame universe mashing. On the other hand, I’m told Miles’ comic isn’t flying off the shelves either. Maybe it’ll be all three of them. Or maybe it’ll be Ben or Miguel. If it was Ben I don’t know if I’d be hype or mad.

As for Peter and MJ dating, it’s inevitable that they’ll get back together and everything; hopefully the circumstances won’t be as dumb as the BND retcon business. Nobody seriously thought Carlie/y was going to last. I think (hope) by now after the eight billionth time that Peter’s gone emo and hung up the costume he’s past that. Who wants to read about him doing that again? That’s why when Marla died he didn’t throw a Tobey Macguire hissy fit, he got in the lab, got new tech, went in and bodied everybody.

Has it still not been confirmed that this is a limited?

1247

Haven’t heard if it was confirmed to be a limited or an ongoing yet.

1248

This sounds like something Sano would pour tons of thought into:

1249

So it’s Miles in Spider-Men. 5-issue limited.

I’m resigned to the dumbness. I’ll buy it.

1250

I have like no interest in reading an Ultimate / 616 crossover. Good for Miles to get exposure like that though.

I might check it if ASM leads into it I guess.

Remember when JQ said if they ever crossed over the 616 and Ultimate universes they would officially be out of ideas? Lol for what it’s worth JQ retweeted this.

Shoulda made it Kaine. They’re just trying to promote Ultimate.

And for 683 it shoulda really been Al Gore. That’s all I’m saying.

1253

Spider-Men #3’s cover features Peter and Miles fighting classic 616 Spidey villains.

1254

RUMOR: Sony execs hate the new Spider-Man movie. What a coincidence! From what I’ve seen I hate it too! Lol well take with a dump truck of salt.

Great podcast interview with Gerry Conway on killing Gwen Stacy, creating Punisher and how his ongoing Spider-Man Renew Your Vows comic is not connected to the Secret Wars Spider-Man Renew Your Vows mini. It’s a world where Civil War and One More Day / Brand New Day never occurred. Awesome!

The first issue of Renew Your Vows is great BTW! Good to have Married Spider-Man back in some capacity.
