Is this the end of Ultimate Spider-Man?
I don’t want to give the answer away too early in the review, because 1) I want you to click on the More link, and 2) it’s pretty tacky to talk about the end before all the other goodness is covered.
Editor’s Note: To tie in with the question we posed to readers earlier, we’re giving our very own Marlowe Lewis a chance to slip into the Marvel Editor in Chief chair and have an imagined conversation with Jeph Loeb over the latest issue of Ultimatum #4.
Or – This Just In…Ultimate Spider-Man is Dead?
For 133 issue, Brian Michael Bendis has consistently cranked out Spider-Man stories that allowed many non-Marvel readers to get into one of the biggest and most recognized heroes in the world. Sadly, we’ve reached the end of the Ultimate Spider-Man series – at least in this incarnation, and it doesn’t look good for the wall crawler.

Featuring a stunning interconnecting cover treatement, adorned with the powerful interior art of David Finch and colored by Steve Firchow & Peter Steigerweld, these issues are can’t-miss issues for any Ultimate Marvel fan, as the Ultimate U is changed forever! Magneto launches his war on humanity and no one is safe, as some of the biggest heroes fall! But who’s next? And will Magneto win?

Can Marvel top wiping out Emma Frost’s Academy of Tomorrow in the most recent Ultimatum #3?

This just in… Steve Rogers Lives!
The death toll continues to rise as Magneto takes the mass destruction of the world up another notch in Jeph Loeb’s Ultimatum #3.
Let’s kill Daredevil this time…
The carnage resulting from Magneto’s attack on the world continues to tear New York City apart as hero and civilian alike try and make sense of what is going on. Brian Michael Bendis continues to maim and kill those Ultimate characters we’ve come to enjoy, and while there may be some gut reaction from readers over these changes, no one is more affected than Peter Parker. At least he makes a friend.
Here’s our bullet list of items from the Marvel panels held on Saturday at the New York Comic Con. The fate of Ultimate Spider-Man and the rest of the Ultimate Universe is revealed after the jump.
If Parker Won’t Go to Ultimatum, Then Ultimatum Will Come to Him
Wow! Wow! Wow! Wow! Wow! WOW! While I may not like what is happening to Marvel’s Ultimate Universe – namely killing everyone and everything – Marvel has done one thing in the Ultimatum event that DC didn’t do in Final Crisis; creating the feeling of an epic disaster where the fate of the world is at stake.
Apparently the end of Marvel’s Ultimate Universe is a big deal, as the company announced the second issue has sold out at the distributor level (check your LCS to see if there are any left). The Jeph Loeb/David Finch issue is being sent back to the printer for a second run that should arrive in stores on March 4, 2009.
Xavier bit it last issue, and it sure did look like Ultimate Captain America bit the bullet. With Ultimate Spider-Man #133 being hinted as a possible end of the Ultimate Spider-Man line (it probably isn’t), it would be interesting if everyone died.
We’ll find out in February, when Ultimatum #3 arrives in stores ($3.99).
If you’ve read the latest issue of Ultimatum #2, you know that someone else on the list got his neck broken on the last page. Let’s see, Wasp starts with W, and what letter comes after W?
The $3.99 issue is still on sale, and is worth checking out if you are even remotely familiar with the characters in the Ultimate Universe.
