recent? perhaps not. In past comics, oh most certainly. Awkward to competent crime fighter is his thing. For example, whole reason he cracks one-liners is to hide how incredibly terrorfied he is at combating super powered serial killers. Come on guilt trip? He becomes a crime fighter specifically because of guilt. This isn't new this is original concept

I'm saying that he got rid of his guilt complex. As a character, he was no longer defined by tragedy and things he couldn't do.

I'm glad to see that Marvel and DC are continuing their tradition of "create the extremely shocking death of a major character by telling everybody about it way before time and then bringing them back to life somehow or other" ala Superman, Batman, Jean Grey, Human Torch, The Flash, etc., etc.

Wasn't that Spiderman 2? And 3 up until Gobby-Poo?

Edit: No wait, he was out of high school in Spiderman 2.

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.

It would probably help if the thread title still mentioned that this pertains to Ultimate Comics Spider Man: The Death of Spider Man.

...I mean if you're trying to avoid knowing whether Spider-Man dies in The Death of Spider-Man, I would think you'd want to know that a thread pertains particularly to The Death of Spider-Man, so that you know not to read it in case anyone says whether Spider-Man dies in it.

This is sorta what bugs me. The arc is called The Death of Spider-Man! And it's been on the cover of like every Ultimate comic for months. And they've gone on the record multiple times stating the intention of the arc. If this were handled like it was in Fantastic Four then I could see a genuine grievance about a spoiler.

Well I'm extremely happy to look at this as the conclusion of the series. Bendis squeezed about all he could out of the character (upwards of ten times over if you want to be critical) and made a Spider-man with a beginning, middle and end. I think it's just the fact that the entire run had a single writer that makes it seem like a cohesive story, but it stands so far above anything and everything "regular" Spider-man has managed to accomplish is its 40+ years of publication it's almost sad.

Yeah I know it's not really ending, but I'll take what I can get. More comics need to have endings I always say.

While I know this isn't the end of Ultimate Spider-Man, I think this could be the actual end of Peter Parker. I remember reading somewhere that Bendis wanted to continue on with the idea the Peter could serve as the Uncle Ben to someone else and have that perpetuate a whole line of Spider-Men.

I really hope that this leads to Johnny Storm or someone else close to Peter picking up the role.
