Күн бұрын

Peter Parker returns as the Ultimate Spider-Man in an all new Ultimate universe for Marvel comics. The Ultimate universe is now Earth 6160 and it has no Spider-Man until now. Iron Lad seeks to undo The Maker's villainous plans and the Marvel Comics reader gets to see a whole new side of Spidey. Does this comic return Spider-Man to form? Does it give fans what some feel they've been lacking from the mainverse books? We discuss all that and more as we review Ultimate Spider-Man #1 2024 here on Casually Comics!

I like that there’s more to this than another “spider-man is married” story. It’s more of a subversion of the original Ultimate Spider-man. Instead of him being a young spider-man he gets his powers way later in life. I am honestly more excited to see an uncle Ben be a supporting character in Spider-man and how Hick Ms reimagines Peter’s rogues gallery One thing that has me worried is that it seems to be part of a larger story instead of being more self contained like the original run.

Same, I like what I'm seeing so far, but the fact it's so inherently connected to some larger cosmic plot doesn't vibe with me. Although, maybe this Spider-man will take up a more central role in shaping "Avengers" of this world, maybe even lead them alongside Captain America? That would be interesting.

I feel like in this universe, the lesson peter needs to learn isn't that great power comes with great responsibility but rather, great responsibilities require greater power to meet and exceed. I'm expecting a story about peter learning to struggle with using the powers he needs to meet his own expectations or the struggles that are involved in the gaining the power to meet his great responsibilites.

As a cynical old veteran fan, my advice is, "Enjoy it while it lasts". Even if Hickman is 100% sincere about writing a mature, settled, family man Spidey, Marvel editorial will never let it stand. Sooner or later (probably sooner), something awful will happen to this Peter Parker and his family, just to "prove" that the mainstream, perpetually young and unmarried Peter is the "correct" version.

Btw, Harry and Norman's waves are a holdover from, not even the period that they were introduced, but from hairstyles that would have been more common when Ditko was younger. And then been reinterpreted in all weird configurations by different artists, kinda like Jughead's beanie. Honestly, you could do a video about that alone (the hairstyle, not the beanie).

Honestly, this is one of the best Spider-Man comics to come out in a long time. A lot of the stories coming from the main universe have been god awful in recent runs, especially the really bad Peter/MJ stuff and the introduction of Paul, so this is really refreshing to see. It's so nice to see Peter just be happy for once and have his life together, rather than just being a constant punching bag that is perpetually suffering and not being allowed to grow or change. I haven't really liked the majority of new Spider-Man comics, but between the new Ultimate Spider-Man series and The Spectacular Spider-Men team-up series on Earth-616, I'm getting excited for more Spider-Man comics again and am actually really interested in seeing more. Here's hoping that this series turns out good, and that it has a long run!

You are *far* from the only person who thinks that Reed Richards is one bad decision away from being an honest-to-goodness villain. Not even one bad day, he just may someday come up with the wrong idea, follow it to its completion, and become as much a threat as Doom...

@runbaa9285 6 ай бұрын

That's honestly kind of the point of The Maker. It has been said by tons of characters that the only thing keeping Reed grounded is his family. The Maker comes from the original Ultimate Universe, a universe where the F4 disbanded. Without his family, nothing held him back.

@pmgerard 6 ай бұрын

I mean, I'm a fan of Reed and personally I just treat Stan Lee written comics as having an unreliable narrator, because otherwise every man is essentially just as misogynistic as 60s Reed. Yeah, Reed is one bad decision away from becoming a villain -- and I think Doom is perhaps prescient in sensing that. But he's equally close to becoming not exactly a villain but a tragedy nonetheless. The classic WHAT IF THE INVISIBLE GIRL HAD DIED...? issue did this to great effect, had a funeral that was among the best sequences I've ever read in a comic, and resurrected a classic Jack Kirby trope: Reed plus stubble equals scary. Any time a Reed Richards works on a problem long enough to get five o'clock shadow, things are about to get intense.

My head canon is that The Maker is really a mind-switched Victor Von Damme inside Reed Richards’ body. A Superior Mr. Fantastic, so to speak. The mindswap trope with Doom and Reed was set up in the FF’s Lee/Kirby run. So much so that I wonder if the option to make it a permanent aspect of the Ultimate FF was introduced as a way to further make the Ultimate Universe separate from the 616 Universe. The storyline that convinced me that maybe Ultimate Reed wasn’t Ultimate Reed was in one of the crossovers where Reed turns against the FF and has servant minions that look awfully demonic to me. 616 Doom had recently gone crazier with his magic use during Mark Waid’s run on the FF, so maybe I was reading into events a bit more than may have been intended. But I still think of The Maker as Superior Ultimate Reed Richards.

I read issue one and absolutely loved it! The fact that peter was married is what made me want to buy the comic but this new take on the character and the fact that uncle ben will be alive is so interesting. I want to see how a living uncle ben affects who peter is as a hero, for better and for worse. I truly don't know what to expect from this spider-man story and that makes me legitimately excited in a way I haven't been in a long time. Also, even though I dont have a wife and kids I really relate to this peter parker. Maybe its the fact that we both have brown hair and beards.

The general public never has a prior experience with Superheroes before Superman in the modern day, so people are more afraid of them.

Regardless of if you believe in destiny or anything like that, the choice to become spider-man, the choice to do more, regardless of the potential sacrifice I think does echo Peters character well. Its just a nice upside that us spidey fans also get to see Peter happy for once, especially given recent mainline spidey comics.

My favorite thing from this is how good it feels to have Peter with a family, both Ben and Jamison included. Spiderman is the kind of hero who is at his peak with a loving family and community helping to remind him what exactly he is fighting for. Constantly putting him through the wringer with nothing good coming and staying makes him less relatable and seem like he's overcoming great odds to being a pitiful basket case partaking in a futile task

So this IS the ULTIMATE universe..... but only by name.

On the note of Marvel editorial's "Adult Spider-Man/Peter Parker is relatable" I may note that I was in middle school when I first watch Into The Spider-Verse and played Spider-Man PS4 and I (and my roommate) loved Peter Parker in both of those and now I'm a college student and I loved this issue, almost as if it's painfully obvious to everyone (including Marvel editorial) that saying that Spider-Man/Peter Parker isn't relatable when he's an adult is just a bad excuse for them to continue down their series of garbage mandates and hiring crappy writers like Zeb Wells... oh wait is obviously is that.

I love the decision to have this be Spiderman but with a completely different course in life rather than "just the essentials of Spiderman".

It’s the first time I’ve been excited reading new Spider-Man in a long long time. I hope Hickman stays with this.

I wonder if this will bring the wrath of Mephisto down upon Ironlad? I ask because surely Tony would realize that, at minimum, May is supposed to also inherit Peter's powers and, at maximum, both Richard and May are supposed to inherit them. Mephisto would likely notice that Spidergirl is being created and immediately do whatever he can to preserve himself by joining forces with The Maker and attacking Ironlad.

I'll tell you this, this is the first comicbook floppy series I've purchased on release since Spider-Men. So it worked.

Jonathan Hickman is the real super hero. He's single handedly saving comics.

This is actually awesome, I hope they keep it around. Really talking to the now mature audience that should have grown up with Spider-Man

I enjoyed this issue more than I really expected to. Marco Chichetto's art lends a grounded, real life feel that the story needed in order to hit home the fact that this is a Peter Parker who has never been Spider-Man.

I love this story it gave me everything i ever wanted and plus finally giving us the one true peter parker who's actually a adult and shocker and seeing Peter parker and Mary jane being married and they have there daughter mayday parker the future spider-girl and her brother Richard parker all being family is really awesome and badass in my opinion. Also another thing I loved about this story is seeing Peter parker becoming Spider-Man because he was inspired by his wife Mary jane and uncle ben which is actually something unique and very cool in my opinion, and I am also curious if we are going to see mayday parker his daughter reaction to her father being a superhero which is going to be adorable in my opinion.

Love this set-up and these versions of the characters My question is though, did the maker also stop all the apocalyptic events from happening? Because you cannot set those back in some cases, and why would you? Did villians just not do as many bad things? If so, does this world actually need heroes?
