The Spider-Men meet in the Ultimate Universe
Peter Parker
is out on a routine patrol of the city when a mysterious light distracts him.
Before he knows it, he’s in an alternate version of New York City where
everyone hassles him for wearing the deceased Peter Parker’s costume. Just as
Parker is struck with confusion, another huge bomb lands in his lap – Ultimate
Spider-Man!
Parker
travels to the Ultimate Universe in this new mini-series by Brian Michael
Bendis and Sara Pichelli. Which, from the rumblings of fans, has been a long
time coming. It’s definitely a fun idea to see Parker and Morales team up in
the Ultimate Universe, and there’s a big opportunity for stories down the line
with these two characters.
The overall
book was okay, not great. It didn’t have the kind of wonder or big jolting
effect that a crossover should have. It’s a pretty routine story that’s mostly
told in captions. I might be the only one who feels this way, but it just felt
a little flat.
I haven’t
been following Ultimate Spider-Man,
but I did enjoy the first few new issues with Morales at the helm of the wall
crawler. The fact that he never met his universe’s Peter Parker is ripe for
conflict, and I’m sure once he meets the MJ and Aunt May of this universe,
Parker is going to have an emotional field day. But so far, it’s a pretty mild
start.
