Cody JonesGUEST
Yeah.
Ryan ShipleyHOST
So basically Hickman's plans for Ultimate Spider-Man had to change because he was planning to do... a lot of setup for whoever was going to come next which i think if you read the alternate books like the second half of them they're
Bill LangfordGUEST
a little weaker
Ryan ShipleyHOST
a little weaker and it it does feel like a little rush like like i thought in the spider-man book it felt more like like one of those biography biopics where like you're just getting the highlights of that person's career right um
Ryan ShipleyHOST
because did you notice with the ultimate books like once they did finally announce like i think it was around issues 17 or 18 of the books that they were ending at 24 that they're ended it kind of like kind of deflated the balloon a little bit
Bill LangfordGUEST
yeah yeah anytime people realize that the book's about to end why you know why start the book now because the book's about to end in four issues so It definitely hurt the titles.
Bill LangfordGUEST
The thing is, all of them were well-written, and if Hickman had another 25 issues planned of Ultimate Spider-Man, I mean, you don't have to end Ultimate Spider-Man.
Bill LangfordGUEST
You can go ahead and end Ultimate Black Panther if you want.
Tyler OlsonHOST
Oh
SeanHOST
... made me think about Ultimate Spider-Man a lot.
Tyler OlsonHOST
I, I was just gonna say that exact same thing, Sean.
SeanHOST
Yeah, and, and that's good in the sense that, like, that's a great comic, but it's bad in the sense that I already read that, and this was-
AdamHOST
'Cause you always get into favorite inker, and who knows their inkers? Well, the Wizard readers did.
AdamHOST
And Art Thibert for Ultimate Spider-Man, which obviously like the biggest book of the moment still.
Phillip SevyGUEST
Yeah.
AdamHOST
So it totally makes sense.
Phillip SevyGUEST
[laughs]
AdamHOST
We'll see if we get there, if either of us chooses that.
AdamHOST
But favorite supporting character, Mary Jane Watson from Ultimate Spider-Man.
AdamHOST
Which Phil, you've talked about this in the past, your love of that relationship and that friendship-
Greg AlbaHOST
Yeah.
Coy JandreauHOST
And, like, this is probably the biggest piece of Spider-Man media of the 2000s, and Ultimate Spider-Man was running alongside it.
Greg AlbaHOST
Mm-hmm.
Coy JandreauHOST
It's crazy to think Ultimate Spider-Man started the same year they were filming Sam Raimi's.
Tobey MaguireSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Friends, Harry, I want us to trust each other.
speaker_4SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And be honest with me.
Zach DeanHOST
The portrait's nothing.
Dave BuesingHOST
So it's Bendis and Bagley, the Ultimate Spider-Man team.
Dave BuesingHOST
This book is s- like, it's p- it's supposed to be a b- like a pretty big book in the context of Secret Wars tie-ins, right? This is the ultimate end.
Dave BuesingHOST
This is the end of the Ultimate Universe, and they're letting Bendis and Bagley, Ultimate Spider-Man creators, um, take it on, right? So, like, it's supposed to have some meaning to it, uh, as kind of a capstone on the U- for the fans of the Ultimate Universe, which has run for 15 years now.
Dave BuesingHOST
I will say early on reading this, to your point, Zach, Bendis is kind of funny here.
Dave BuesingHOST
There's some nice, some nice pitter-patter dialogue that I was like, "Oh," like, but yeah, like getting back into a, a familiar state.
speaker_4HOST
You shatter the very foundation you built.
speaker_4HOST
We are looking at Peter David's Spider-Man 2099, ranked number nine on our list, and Brian Michael Bendis's monumental Ultimate Spider-Man run, which holds the number two spot.
speaker_5HOST
Let's contextualize the level of desperation here.
speaker_5HOST
By the late '90s, Marvel wasn't just struggling creatively.
speaker_4HOST
It would be impenetrable.
speaker_5HOST
Completely impenetrable.
speaker_5HOST
So Marvel launched the Ultimate line, and writer Brian Michael Bendis, alongside artist Mark Bagley, created Ultimate Spider-Man.
speaker_4HOST
This was a seismic event.
Tom HollandSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Well, I mean, if it was really that important, he'd probably call someone else, not me.
Greg AlbaHOST
Oh, it's like the Ultimate Spider-Man by Brian Michael Bendis.
Coy JandreauHOST
But oddly, his second movie-
Greg AlbaHOST
You know it's that
Will HinesHOST
No, but I don't know if any of this first arc has been – That's kind of – it's interesting.
Will HinesHOST
Ultimate Spider-Man, that was true.
Will HinesHOST
The covers really weren't about the story inside.
Will HinesHOST
The
5 MINS LATER
Kevin HinesHOST
know.
Will HinesHOST
Yeah.
Will HinesHOST
That'll be an homage to the ultimate Spider-Man issue of Mary Jane and Peter just having a conversation in the bedroom all of a sudden.
Will HinesHOST
It'll just be like Batman and Joker being like, hey, what's going on with you really?
Coy JandreauHOST
Look at that hand.
Coy JandreauHOST
[laughs] They went genetically modified instead of radioactive like Ultimate Spider-Man did about a year earlier in the movie.
Greg AlbaHOST
Mm.
Greg AlbaHOST
[suspenseful music] See, man, I gotta say, I love the personality.
Greg AlbaHOST
I feel like it's human for him to have anger.
Coy JandreauHOST
I think-
Greg AlbaHOST
Even the Ultimate Spider-Man I've been reading-
Coy JandreauHOST
... excellent anger
AlessandroHOST
I completely don't enjoy the comics, but I eat up every cartoon and movie.
AlessandroHOST
What about Ultimate Spider-Man?
JoeHOST
Have you read that? Ultimate Spider-Man with Mark Bagley and
AlessandroHOST
Bendis? Yes, it was okay.
AlessandroHOST
Again, it didn't really grab me so much, but it was okay.
