So for those who aren't aware, the writers of Ultimate Comics: Spider-Man are currently doing an arc spanning UC: Spider-Man #153-162 and Ultimate Avengers vs. New Ultimates #1-6. And, obviously Spider-Man's gonna die. More info here and the linked pages linked on the webpage: marvel.wikia.com/Death_of_Spider-ManAny thoughts? |

I'm sceptical, I doubt they'll kill him. Perhaps his public identity, but not actually kill him out right.
USM is the only Ultimate line that's performing that I'm aware of, and if that do kill him, I'm not sure how long it'll last. Maybe they'll think Pete's dead, and he'll go into hiding?

They killed off the Human Torch in mainstream.

but that's mainstream. that's gonna sell no matter what they do, and they had spidey join the FF after Johnny's death. UCSM IS the Ultimate Line, the others sell well, but would lose a lot of followers if Peter's actually going to die. I'm thinking it will be something along the lines of frosty's idea

They killed off the Human Torch in mainstream. I heard the 616 FF book wasn't selling that well, so they sorta rebooted it. |

I think it's comics. No one stays dead in comics except for Bucky, Jason Todd, and Gwen Stacey...oh wait. And since ultimate Gwen came back (sort of)...I've got nothing.

The brought Bucky back as winter soldier (Tho I think that might be Ultimate), is Jason Todd the Red Hood? and Gwen came back as a clone! |

Bucky's Captain America now isn't he?
Jason Todd is MIA right now after Nightwing became the New Batman.
And Gwen is still dead in 616. But in Ultimate she is once again alive and well

But in Ultimate she is once again alive and well Ok just so we're clear I thing I phrased my comment wrong. I know Bucky's cap now and knew Jason Todd came back (alhough I didn't know he was MIA). I meant it to come across as "those two...oh wait, and Ultimate Gwen's alive so yeah I've got nothing." as opposed to just Ultimate Gwen's alive:) Speakig of which, I'm still playing major catch up with USM, but I kind of want this spoiled. Was it ever made clear if Gwen's a clone or the orginial or the orginial in the body of a clone or and why she and Peter got to together? |

The only person who stays dead in comics is Uncle Ben.

Gwen's "essence," in other words, what made her who she was, was consumed by Carnage, and it became a part of the suit, eventually pushing aside the other essences that the suit had absorbed and making itself dominant. this caused the suit to revert to Gwen's appearance when passing as human. then venom called the suit back to itself in the awful war of the symbiotes, leaving behind Gwen's body and consciousness. so not a clone, not the original. |

Has anyone else been following this story? I'm really loving it, and I got really surprised a few times about certain characters fates.

Really powerful story. Best USM has been in a long time. I know almost every media outlet gave away the ending but I still won't put spoilers for those who haven't read it. It was a great sendoff but I'm gonna miss this series. I hope I'm not the only one who read this story.  Edit= This has been the best art Bagely has illustrated in a looong time. Beautiful stuff. Oh and SpideyFan was right about Gobby being alive like he wrote on Tv.com. Good job SpideyFan  . |
