Comics: First Look At The New Ultimate Spider-Man

awesome suit

New look and good riddance lol!

Now kill the rest of the ULTIMATE Universe off! : P

@Xenix

That's why the Ultimate Spider-Man series is fail. And I personally hate when DC does that with their heroes. You don't fall in love with the costume. You fall in love with the character.

Peter Paker will always be Spiderman to many.. but cool costume

Marvel Fail. Get one "universe" FTW.

@Josh....I wholeheartedly agree, the Ultimate Universe has been a mess since Loeb came on board. He made bad decision after bad decision. The Ultimate universe was a fun idea in the beginning but now its more of a punchline. Maybe when the sales of the Ultimate line dwindles Marvel mya finally put them out of commission once and for all

Strangely enough, I like it! I wonder who the man behind the mask is. Hopefully not a clone...

Jesus christ people, read the damn book before you judge!

Has there ever been an series with an old spider man?

i like

the ultimate universe must be destroyed.

only one person can be spidey,f*ckin peter parker.

I'm not a Spider-Man fan. In fact I dont even like Spidey.
But I didnt come here to bash old web-head, I came to say that I'm really sick of this "replace them" policy DC and Marvel seem to be competeing on applying. It's as if both companies sat down and placed a bet: "Hey! Let's see who screws up more heroes worse" says DC. "You're on!" replies Marvel.
And the race is a go. First Batman and Captain America and now this (and who knows who else I havent heard of). And what do they throw in compensation? New costumes!
And the old-timers like myself who have been reading comics for so long have to take it coz the new-bes who almost know nothing about the richiness of the characters are being sold and dazzled by the new "look".
Total bullshit!

I agree with those who would love to see the ultimate universe put out of our misery.

Ultimate Spider-Man was the only book in the ultimate line that I really liked for quite a while. Like everything else, something has to come along to screw it up. After Ultimatum- the last time Spider-Man appeared to be 'dead' in that universe- they brought in a horrible new artist and something about the stories just changed. This is also when they rebooted the numbering on the book (something else I dislike- a new number 1 for the sheer sake of having a new number 1, because number 1 books sell better than later issues). I dropped the book after giving it a few issues to see if the stories would get back to what they had been.

All that said, I like this costume, but dislike intently the idea of anyone being Spider-Man besides Peter Parker. That whole thing dredges up bad memories of Ben Reilly, and we REALLY don't want to ever go thru that again!

Red triangle looks weird. As for SPidey not being Pete, it's the Ultimate Universe, why not? Whish they brought Peter back to himself in 616, though...

This just makes me feel bad for the creators who have to keep coming up with gimmicky story lines for these tired characters. Can we really not come up with new, modern characters? Or are Spiderman, Wolverine, Batman and Superman as good as it gets? Keep milking that titty. Hilarious.

It's AWESOME!!

Looks cool, I like the dark look. I would have liked more for the gloves and boots. I like what they did on the chest. would like to see boots and gloves/gauntlets done with similar design.

So...Who is SpiderMan now?

Is it Peter Paker who died?

I've been reading comics for decades, never been a fan of any of the 'Death of' story lines. When Jean Gray would die it would be part of the story and they moved on, but when they kill Superman or Captain America it's always a clone/skrull/shapeshifter/etc. And it's lame, in my opinion. I understand the need for epic storylines, but I do hate the retcons.
