Now Absolute Batman #1 led with a 250,000 print run, which was below that of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, but then added with subsequent printings to take total sales to comic bookstores up to 400,000. However, Marvel Comics had its own contender in Ultimate Spider-Man #1, which was published at the beginning of the year by[...]

Ultimate Spider-Man #11 by Jonathan Hickman and David Messina has seen a year pass, since the events of the Ultimate Invasion, both in publication and in time within the comic book universe When Ultimate Spider-Man kicked off, we wondered how a Spider-Man as a mid-life crisis may have a different impact on the great power-great[...]

Marvel Comics often tries to avoid having Ultimate Spider-Man and Amazing Spider-Man out in the same week, like with DC, Batman, and Detective Comics And, most likely, Absolute Batman But as schedules are challenged, sometimes it happens, like tomorrow, with Ultimate Spider-Man #9 by Jonathan Hickman and Marco Checchetto and Amazing Spider-Man #58 by Zeb Wells and John Romita[...]

Spoilers! Spoilers! Spoilers! In Ultimate Spider-Man, Peter Parker and Mary Jane Watson were married with kids long before he became Spider-Man And managed to keep together without having The Devil annul their marriage as part of a deal (Superman, be careful, don't go down that road) But as middle-aged married with kids folks go, how[...]

As I was typing this up, the word also came from Marvel Comics that their Ultimate Spider-Man would also be getting the Black Cat (but is she Felicia Hardy?)

Ultimate Spider-Man #7 and Amazing Spider-Man #54 land tomorrow Two comics, universes apart, both coming down to Peter Parker and Norman Osborn This is the way of things And this is going to be how they're getting Ultimate Venom right?

Ultimate Spider-Man outsells Amazing Spider-Man by 50%, but both top the chart and, with Destro, outsell the industry's traditional bestseller, Batman But something of note, Batman sales do not seem to be going down Just Amazing Spider-Man sales are going up A strong launch for Uncle Scrooge also outdoes the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' big gun[...]

In Ultimate Spider-Man #1, it was revealed that the young terrorist-suspect Tony Stark had delivered a message to the thirty-something Peter Parker, giving him technology that would transform him into a middle-aged married-with-kids Spider-Man and all the irresponsibility that brings And it seems that Harry Osborn has been using the Howard Stark and Obadiah Stane[...]

Writing for Bleeding Cool, I've been making the case for a selfish Ultimate Spider-Man That this Peter Parker, rather than having his powers thrust upon him, chose them during a mid-life crisis Akin to getting a motorbike or a sportscar and then going on drag racing, when you are married with young kids Oh, and[...]
