Major Ultimate Spider-Man spoiler alert

The Sevenshot Kid · 06-22-2011, 07:55 PM

"Hey look there's some spoil-y stuff after this!" -McT

So... Today Marvel killed laid Peter Parker from their Ultimate line down for his final rest. He earned it. Now, the Ultimate Spider-Man comics is the only series from Marvel that I bothered keeping up with and it's because of the great quality it managed to maintain over the years.

Well, after 160 issues Bendis actually did it. Peter Parker died and I'm not too sure we'll see him coming back any time within this decade. It was a good ending for the character but I really am sad that it happened. For years I've been reading about this guy developing into the hero that we're used to seeing and right when he had it all together it came crashing down.

I really want to hate Bendis for this but he wrote it well and he wrote it the right way. I can't say that I'll stop reading when they relaunch the series with a new person as Spider-Man because I really want to see what happens to all the characters after this. This is one of those moments where a character death really might change things.

If any of you have been reading the series or ever looked into it, please discuss.

There is no spoiler warning when the people in charge let out a press release the day before saying that they are killing the character.

Because everyone scours the fucking paper for any announcement Marvel might make.

Yeah. Warnings like woah, yo.

I'm leaving the edit as is with terribly little information because it's specifically mentioned like a post down that a character is killed. If I give any more information to that point, it'll still be blatantly painfully obvious.

I give it a week.

Oh look Bendis killed a character.

...With his mask off, good to see things haven't changed.

...Good thing Bendis didn't do anything that might actually meaningfully affect the character, like, say, letting him graduate high school.

Whoa. Peter Parker developed. He may have been a little slow but the series doesn't take up much more than maybe two years of time. And the Peter Parker from the start of the series is significantly different than the one at the end of it.

development doesn't count when they slap the reset button and we see the same development five or six times.

Now I haven't read this particular run, but past experience leads me to believe he did not develop in any way that we haven't seen before

Even after I learned, grew up, and came to be on the right side of a lot of important issues, I was still angry, abrasive, and generally increased the amount of hate in the world, in pretty unacceptable ways. On the off chance that someone is taking a trip down memory lane looking through those old threads, I wanted to devote my signature to say directly to you, I'm sorry. Thank you for letting me be better, NPF.
