Re: The C3G Cave - Hangout
Yeah, I did a (slightly truncated) Ultimate readthrough last year myself. Ultimates, Spider-Man, some Fantastic Four, some X-Men, most of the events... honestly, even at its worst, there was always some good stuff there. Ultimatum was a train wreck, but even after that I think they had an opportunity to make a really fresh, interesting universe. But they never really gave it the talent or attention it deserved - taking Hickman out of the captain's chair was really the final nail in the coffin.
But yeah, Ultimate Spider-Man is absolutely perfect. I'm hoping beyond hope that the MCU version draws HEAVILY on it... it's pretty much a blueprint of how to write a Spider-Man story that's well-integrated into a wider universe. JOHNNY139'S CLASSIC CUSTOM THREAD! | Visit now!

Re: The C3G Cave - Hangout
I read Ultimate Spider-Man, X-Men, and Fantastic 4 two summers ago and enjoyed them all. (I only read the first 6-ish issues of each, as that's all my library had.) Since I primarily read DC those were nice origin stories for many of the characters. The Ultimates was really odd though; I felt like they took too many liberties with the characters.

I have already read some of the later Ultimate Comics: X-Men stuff as well, and that gets really interesting. A very cool alternate take. So I'm excited to see it get to that point, even if that means going through Ultimatum. Quote:
For the most part though, there are a lot of interesting things in the Ultimate books. I just wish Warren Ellis had been a part of the founding creative team. His work on the Ultimate line is great. New, fresh, and above all, fun. I think that largely comes because the rest of the universe spun out of Spider-Man. Mark Millar had X-Men and Ultimates, but the Ultimate universe is largely Bendis's baby for the first few years. But yeah, it's not hard to see why Ultimate Spider-Man is so iconic. Having not read a lot of other Spider-Man books previously, it'll be hard for me to shake the sense that Ultimate Spidey is not the Spider-Man.

Re: The C3G Cave - Hangout
Ok so Ultimate Spider-man (2000-2009) or Ultimate Comic Spider-man (2009-2012) ? I may need to check it out and want to make sure I'm looking for what you guys are talking about. Also what's the "rating" on these as far as language?
Would I want it to be everything I love...sure...but that's just not realistic so I'm going to focus on finding things that will make me unhappy and work on fixing those. |

Re: The C3G Cave - Hangout
if any one has AoS #3, Howling commandos. or Cap Sam Wilson, I have a pay pal and will be willing to over pay to get these back dated sets. also if anyone sees power man and iron fist in stores, #1 and #2 please pick up one for me. |

Re: The C3G Cave - Hangout
Did more looking into it and I realized my mistake...I meant the 2011 version which I see is Miles Spider so I am set and may start acquiring the Trades for the 2000 series up.

Re: The C3G Cave - Hangout
Ultimate Spider-Man is incredibly easy to follow - unlike most series, you can pretty much read straight on through. The only exception is Ultimate Six, but that's collected in the trades as part of USM. It was super refreshing; you don't see those sorts of long, uninterrupted, relatively tie-in free comics nowadays.
So yeah, I'd strongly recommend just grabbing the trades in order. Easy, simple, and some of the best Spider-Man stories ever. It only ever gets messy once you hit Ultimatum (Vol. 22). JOHNNY139'S CLASSIC CUSTOM THREAD! | Visit now!

To answer your questions, start with the 2000-2009 series. It's a reboot of Spider-Man, so it starts from his origins and is one long story. As far as rating, it's a book aimed at teens. Language is minor (hell and damn is probably the worst of it, and not very common), though there are plenty of grawlixes. There's plenty of teen romance in the book, but nothing above a light PG-13 rating.
