History [edit]

Creation and development [edit]

Ultimate Spider-Man was the start series to exist published in the Ultimate Curiosity line. Publisher Bill Jemas wanted to re-invent the Marvel Universe because he felt that, with over 40 years of backstory, it had become inaccessible to new readers, and he wanted to start with a re-invented Spider-Man. Initially, Marvel Editor-in-Principal Joe Quesada was skeptical considering 1998's Spider-Man: Chapter I, a previous attempt at re-envisioning Spider-Man's early adventures, had failed both critically and commercially.[5]

Though Spider-Human's original origin story in Amazing Fantasy #15 was only 11 pages long, Bendis' retelling of Spider-Man's origin was seven issues long. Bagley was at start wary of Bendis' notoriously dull footstep in advancing plot, describing it as a "real shock" at first.[5] Jemas originally intended the comic to feature unmarried-result stories only, but Bendis chose to make each story roughly half dozen bug long.[6]

The first several issues were greeted with enthusiasm from fans and critics, sold well, and gave Ultimate Curiosity a boost in credibility. After the release of Ultimate Spider-Man (along with Ultimate X-Men), Quesada and Jemas broadened the Ultimate Curiosity line with The Ultimates (a re-imagining of the Avengers) and Ultimate Fantastic Iv. Ultimate Spider-Man #ane was voted the "ninth-greatest Marvel Comic of All Time" in 2001 by readers of Wizard: The Guide to Comics. In addition to disquisitional success, Ultimate Spider-Man grew to outsell the flagship Spider-Human being championship, The Amazing Spider-Homo.[7] Bendis would later draw issue #xiii, in which Peter tells Mary Jane his secret identity, equally his favorite issue because it showed the trust that the Marvel editorial staff had in him.[8]

As the series progressed within the adjacent two years, reception and sales stayed potent, helped by the fact that Bendis and Bagley quickly establish chemistry and enjoyed working together.[5] Over the years, many 'mainstream' characters were introduced, often with different origins, costumes, and/or personalities.

On August xvi, 2006, Marking Bagley announced he would be leaving the book as of Ultimate Spider-Man #110. Bagley and writer Brian Michael Bendis had worked on the series together since information technology began. Artist Stuart Immonen, already familiar with the Ultimate Universe from his piece of work on Ultimate Fantastic 4 and Ultimate X-Men, took over after Bagley. Outcome #111, named "The Talk", featured Immonen's art for the starting time time. The effect was divided into two parts, with Bagley roofing the fine art for one section, and Immonen doing the other. Consequence #133 was the final consequence of the series earlier a two-issue follow-up entitled Ultimatum: Spider-Man Requiem was released, revealing the condition of the title's characters after the events of the "Ultimatum" storyline. Despite the book'due south apparent counterfoil, in August 2009 Ultimate Spider-Human being was relaunched with Brian Michael Bendis returning as writer and David Lafuente equally artist.[9] The volume finished its run with #160 and subsequently was relaunched every bit Ultimate Comics: Spider-Man with art by Sara Pichelli.

Story arcs and issue numbering [edit]

The renumbering for Vol 2 #16/#150 was disruptive to many readers.[10] The letter folio for Ultimate Comics: Spider-Human (2011) #8 mentions that issue 0.5 (1/2) was included in the total.

For issues 200 and 234 up, Marvel Legacy considers #54–133 and #150–160 to exist wrongly numbered, and accounts for all major Ultimate Spider-Human comics written by Bendis:[11]

  1. 1–53 Ultimate Spider-Man (vol. 1) #i–53
  2. 54–60 Ultimate Six #1-7
  3. 61–140 Ultimate Spider-Human being (vol. 1) #54–133
