Has Ultimate Spider-Man Over-Stayed its Welcome?

[uluru]

Do you think that Ultimate Spider-Man sucks and must go?

Or do you still love it?

 

I used love it but then after the crappy Hollywood arc and the upcoming stories i truely dont know anymore.

[Murph]

The Hollywood arc sucked, but everything else has been a really good read.

Any title will have its ups and downs, but I definitely do not believe that it should go.

[glwoodar-migration]

I was really disappointed in the last issue. I thought it should have been a bigger deal.

[shiverbones]

i got tired of it about the time black cat entered the picture

Seriously, they've trotted out (ripped-off) EVERY single "cool" storyline/element/character from over 500 issues of Amazing Spider-Man... and in under 60 issues!

 

Now what?

 

Are you seriously telling me that they're going to try to run this series concurrent with the "regular universe" book(s)? THAT'S not a train wreck waiting to happen.

 

Remember when DC did that? Is this Marvel's version of "Earth-2"?

I dont find it surprisingly god issue after issue any more, but Its still better than the "real" Spidey right now. Somehow nothibng seems to matter any more in Amazing.... too many paralell plot developments with friends and villains. I no longer have a clear sense of what has happenned before...

And somehow it rarely felt like anything was happening.

Something is always happening is you consider 20 pages of "goo-goo eyes" and "soulful reaction shots" "happening."

 

 

I dropped USM about 7 months ago and don't miss it a bit.

Do you think that Ultimate Spider-Man sucks and must go?

 

Nope. Doesn't suck. Shouldn't go.

 

Or do you still love it?

 

Nope, but I still like it enough to want to read it. I would still place it in my top 10 regular series "must" reads.

 

I think the question should be "has Bendis spread himself too thin"?

 

With Powers, USM, Avengers, The Pulse, and recently completed arcs on UFF and UXM along with overseeing the Avengers crossovers and Ultimate "universe", plus loads of personal appearances, hollywood schmoozing, etc. he's definitely riding the "burnout" wave.

[DKB]

Best superhero book on the market.

[uluru]

Definitively Bendis should write fewer books

[FlyingDonut]

I like Ultimate Spider-Man, but that is probably because I read it in the TPB form. I would imagine it would suck as a monthly. It isn't really designed for the pamphlet by the way it is written.

[DKB]

O, and yeah, Hollywood was merely ok, but to toss a book off your pull list cause after 60 issues one story arc wasn't any good is just plain silly.

I agree! I only read USM in TPBs, and it is very good. The same goes for Ultimate X-men.
