I believe in a universe that doesn't care, and people that do.

Also Venon is terrifying. Whoever is drawing him is doing a great job at portraying him as a monster. No host either!

Eddie's long been fully bonded to the suit in Ultimate. I'm not exactly sure what the gently caress he wants, though.

Based on some of the stuff Venom was saying this issue, I wonder if its going to lead to multiple people having powers from the mutated spiders that bit Peter and Miles.

Ultimate scarlet spider and so on?

Ultimate Scarlet Spider was Ultimate Spider-Woman, I think. She took Ben Reilly's role in Ultimate Clone Saga, anyway.

Venom got liquified and escaped via sewer drain, shouldn't the host be left behind if there was one? Or is the host/symbiote truly one and he can liquify as well?

Symbiotes work a bit different in this universe, I see this Venom as something closer to the Carnage that became Gwen Stacy

In any case, solicitations describe this venom as The New Venom so there's a chance it might not be Brock at all.

Brock did exactly that to escape a confrontation with Peter shortly before Ultimatum began. Then he got sucked up by the all-new Beetle and then ????

So does Sam Loeb sacrifice himself for Peter/MJ? Does Peter marry Sam Loeb? Is Sam Loeb the devil in this story?

In Ultimates it would be Aunt May's secret love child with Miles Warren, because they went on that date that one time.

Ultimates was great up until Humphries took over (and I enjoy it even then because there is an 8 year old in me who loves the idea of President Captain America.)

Its good I'm not the only one who loves President Cap ..I knew it was sappy...but hell if I cared.

So funny enough due to there not being a sale on certain issues on Comixology I've only read from issue 1 to the issue with Captain Britain on the cover and from Cap is back on ($3.99 back issues kind of blow) onward, is it worth getting the rest? I kind of enjoyed crazy Reed.

Here's your monthly Ultimate universe ending rumor, Bleeding Cool is saying that there's rumors coming out of the Marvel Summit that there will be an Avengers Vs Ultimates series next year that will result in the end of the Ultimate Universe in print form.

Whether this means the universe will be completely ending or maybe just becoming digital only is up in the air.

Miles is probably my favorite Marvel character being published at the moment. It is the one character/series where Bendis can (almost) do no wrong.

"We're going to do a pretty bold time jump for the series," Bendis told CBR. "It's a pretty big deal. I got to a place with "Ultimate Spider-Man" where we're allowed to go a little crazy, and I've decided to do so -- both with story status quo and in terms of not having to make every issue the next day

I take everything BC posts with an extra helping of salt.

That said, I could see the Ultimate line thriving as a digital only series like what DC does with its Beyond series.

Also I love the idea of Fialkov on Ultimates. Wish he had replaced Hickman instead of Humphries. His New 52 book, "I, Vampire" is excellent (shame it's being canceled). It'll be amazing if he can somehow make Alpha tolerable in the upcoming mini.
