If the tone is very different then I have no problem with there not being a shared universe, I'm glad that Teen Titans and JL/JLU didn't crossover (Speedy in JLU desn't count). I doubt that Hulk and the Agents of S.M.A.S.H will be in the same universe as either Ultimate Spider or Avengers either.

USM has a much lighter tone from what clips have been shown, even going so far as to have "chibi" moments like Teen Titans did.

notthegoatseguy posted:Pretty certain the entire point of killing Spectacular and launching Ultimate was so it could be in the same shared universe as Wolverine And the X-Men and Avengers. The entire point of killing spectacular was it was in a horrible legal limbo. There was no chance Spectacular would survive. Also I think they have several characters appearing in Avengers and USM, but they are different ages, so no crossover.

On the 3/11 episode of Kevin Smith's smodcast they had the head guy from the USM cartoon on as a guest. The show's cohost wrote some episodes and all 3 spend a good hour discussing the show and the creator's history in comics and TV.

ToastyPotato posted:Huge disappointment. I also just checked out the X-men wiki page and it isn't getting a second season either, so I guess the shared universe is dead outside of characters popping in during EMH episodes. Well, forget characters popping in, now that Wolverine doesn't have a show, he's all freed up for full-time Avengers membership. I wouldn't be shocked at all if he joins up soon, given how his insane popularity would likely rope in what kids weren't already watching.

The could be a case made here, maybe, that the comics industry realizes its readership is those that grew up on them and are now in their 20s/30s. Print media is dying so I suppose nostalgia is a good tactic to switch to.

I went back and read one of the USM HC's (the one where JJJ thinks Spidey is dead after Ultimatum), and JJJ writing about how he was dead wrong about Spider-Man was genuinely powerful poo poo.

That was Requiem. I would have been completely happy if that was really how Peter died. I mean, if you ignore the rest of Ultimatum. Those issues were the perfect send-off for the character.

Fillerbunny posted:He could have surrendered willingly. He's shown up three times, all within USM: USM 1/2 (half): Spider-Man punches Iron Fist. Iron Fist was trying to stop a thief, but Spidey didn't know that. USM: Gang War: Hammerhead makes a play for Kingpin's territory while Kingpin is laying low. Hammerhead attacks Chinatown or whatever, provoking Shan-Chi and Iron Fist to respond. Ultimate Knights: Iron Fist and Shan-Chi team up with Dr. Strange, Daredevil, Spidey and Moon Knight to take down the Kingpin. Iron Fist sells the team out to Kingpin.

Those issues were the perfect send-off for the character. "I've never been so ashamed." is one of the best moments in comics. And I like that Jonah's actually been portrayed more humanly from that point. Yes, he's still egotistical, he's still a control freak, but he seems like a real person, and I like that he's kind of the opposite of 616 now, in that Spidey's one of the few heroes he actually seems to like.

Yeah, it's worth 4 bucks. It's not AMAZING but it's worth the read. It also fixes Hawkeye out of Loeb's suicidal PTSD stereotype days.

It also gives some backstory to where the Jean Gray/Nick Fury X-kids go during the first arc of Ultimate X-Men where they disappear for a few issues.

So Spider-Men has been made official as a 616/Ultimate Crossover http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/marvel-comics-brings-special-versions-spider-man-including-dead-ringer-a-rod-article-1.1059630  quote:A new five issue mini-series, “Spider-Men,” available starting in July, uses a common villain to bring the two heroes from different alternate realities.

Sion posted:Welp. There would've been no point in doing this before Miles was conceived of, though. Peter's seen himself as a role model occasionally, but to see a kid take up the mantle is actually a neat idea for a story, and it allows Miles to get Pete's approval without ruining the death story. Basically, there's no story you 'can't' do, just ones you shouldn't without a reason that makes sense for the characters.

If it had still been Peter in Ultimate, I would have no interest in this, but getting to see Miles interact with (a version of) the person who inspired him to do what he's doing should be a fun book.

Miles gets to see a Peter who lived up to his full potential. He's an Avenger and one of the greatest heroes in the world. Peter gets to see a Spider-Man who is inspired by him and see what happens in a world where he's died. I think they're gonna be really great pals. I'm waiting for the splash page where they tearfully hug.

If Ultimate Osborn is still alive, I want to see a scene of 616 Peter confronting him, and beating the poo poo out of him. Maybe have some big Osborn moment of "Ha ha, what are you going to do? I already killed you once!" or whatever and then Peter just outclassing him in every way during the ensuing fight.

I expect this to be pretty good because it's Ultimate Spidey written by Bendis but I can't help but feel a sense of foreboding dread that the floodgates are open now and we'll be seeing a lot of lesser 616/Ultimate crossovers/cash-ins soon. A Hickman penned FF/UFF would rule though, and seems the obvious follow up.

^burtle posted:Common Enemy HAS to be Osborn Both of him? And I hope it involves at least a couple of issues worth of Pete in the UU. Because he's something they don't really have, a straight up, full on superhero, who's experienced, selfless and without a quallifying concern (Stark's Illuminati thing, Thor and Asgard, Cap and his more by-the-book patriotism). Plus we'll get the requisite beat where Miles watches him in action and goes "Amazing!". Bonus points if Ganke gets to follow with "Spectacular!".
