My pass ends in June right in time for the Ultimate Universe to return. I figured what better way to to end my time on 4chan than with a redo of my first ever storytime.

>Ultimate Marvel, later known as Ultimate Comics, was an imprint started in 2000 of comic books published by Marvel Comics, featuring re-imagined and modernized versions of the company's superhero characters from the Ultimate Marvel Universe providing new origin stories for the characters. The reality of Ultimate Marvel is designated as Earth-1610

>The Ultimate Universe, as a part of a large-scale reboot of the All-New, All-Different Marvel multiverse, ended at the conclusion of the 2015 "Secret Wars" storyline, when select characters from the Ultimate Universe moved to the mainstream universe, Earth-616.

>In June 2023 the Ultimate Universe is set to return in the four issue miniseries Ultimate Invasion by Jonathan Hickman and Bryan Hitch.

Basketball head Spidey.

This book makes even less sense to me now that I’m reading this x-men stuff. Why the fuck is ultimate peter still spidey? The other supers suck the world he lives in sucks and they really make it a point to give him no character progression throughout

Can somebody explain to me why the hell Peter dating Gwen Stacy all of the sudden after Ultimatum? He was dating MJ beforehand and then boom, wtf happened off screen?

Because bendis doesn’t care

Time skip, its never explained and only exists of Chameleon drama later

Bendis doesn't care about his own writing? I thought it will come to play a bit later

Its not that Bendis doesn't care its that at this era of Marvel is full in on "controversy sells" and this allowed both shock/disgust but later relationship drama.

All the art from this volume can just fuck off

>>136997069 (OP)

This series has such good art

i know this is Ultimate Marvel but this is retardedly edgy even for the punisher

Par for the course for Millar.

bearded guy is a nice callout to Namor in FF #4, I will not be dissuaded that this is a direct reference

I know the iron man armor design is super controversial in this but I really like this war machine.

Kitty>Gwen>Black Cat>MJ

Also...thanks, OP.

>I would have never come up with that name myself

Aunt May's Orphanage is awesome and one my favorite parts of USM.

>Seven straight pages of Franking

Say whatever you want about Ultimate comics but Marvel will never be as based as during this era.

I expect Ultimate Invasion to be a fucking disappointment as Ultimate end and Spider-men 2.

Lafuente fucking ruined what could've been the best era of USM with his art.

Rereading all this makes me 100% sure Bendis did not intend the twist from the beginning and just pulled it out of his ass years later.

More tomorrow.

this is so fucking stupid lmao
