Ultimate Spider-Man

Uh...I guess this is a public service announcement.

"Ultimate Spider-Man" is really good.

Core Concept

The Maker has remade a world with no heroes for his evil cabal to rule over.

Iron Lad sent a series of time machine gift bags to people who would have been heroes - including Peter Parker - giving them the option to bootstrap their life to their former heroic destiny.

This subverts my expectations, while offering new insights into established characters.

Detailed spoilers
  • J. Jonah Jameson is a better man with Ben Parker alive to mentor him
  • Harry Osborn is probably either batshit crazy or destined to be the greatest bromance in Peter's life...and maybe both.
  • Peter and MJs kids are adorable and perfect.
  • The comic completely fails to address how this version of Peter got his webbing, and the suit that Iron Lad provided is capable of an awfut lot of Venom's abilities...Might Iron Lad have cut a dangerous corner in his desperation?
