Ultimate Comics Spider-Man: Death of Spider-Man Fallout (Ultimate Comics Fallout)

this book is supposed to be about the different reactions to the death of Peter Parker.they range from uninteresting (Thor) to poignant (May Parker, Nick Fury). some stories are predictable (Kitty Pryde), some are surprising (Captain America).however, the book also has snippets of other characters that seem to be shoehorned in for no apparent reason (apart from generating interest in future issues).for instance, there are scenes with Quicksilver and Reed Richards that don't even mention Peter.if, like me, you have collected the Ultimate Spider-Man series, this book is worth buying as an end issue.it is not a stand alone read.at the end, i was left wondering what would happen next and i'll probably buy the new Miles Morales Spider-Man books.i guess, as a teaser, this book has served its purpose

Great series worth a read.

Ultimate Comics Spider-Man: Ultimate Comics Spider-Man- Got as a Xmas present for my Nephew Michael - he has read it already along with Death of Spider-Man.

I thought the artwork was great, and I found the bit that focused on the new Spider-Man series the most interesting. Aside from that, I was very disappointed with this collection...it just seemed really boring and there wasn't a huge amout going on. Get something like Spider Men or Civil War instead? :)

The story from the mini-series Ultimate Comics Fallout issues #1-6 is collected as  Ultimate Comics Spider-Man: Death of Spider-Man Fallout . It continues the Ultimates story line from Ultimate Avengers vs. New Ultimates. I haven’t read the Ultimate Spider-Man series, so I don’t know how that ties in, but there is a new Spider-Man appearing here, so I assume they have noticed that Peter Parker is dead, alas. The first issue is a sequential story, but subsequent issues break into segments following various characters, several of which are continuations of ongoing plotlines or appear to be setting up future storylines. The segments feature Captain America; Thor; Rogue; Tony Stark, Kitty Pride, Karen Grant and The Hulk; Spider-Man (the new one); Reed Richards - “Revenge will be mine!”; Valerie Cooper; Quicksilver; Nick Fury; Aunt May, Gwen Stacy & Mary Jane; Kitty, Bobby and Johnny; and Nick Fury revealing stuff to Mary Jane. The episodes have various writers and artists, I assume depending on who will be handling subsequent storylines featuring the characters. They are all interesting, and none are ‘filler’.

the book can be described in the two parts, one half deals with aftermath of death of the spider-man, the other sets up new story's.Yes Peter Parker died, he was killed of in a fitting manner, sadly what follows is the stereotype comic book funeral where everyone is hyper emotional, blaming random people, blaming themselves, acting out of character, getting overly upset about things they were no involved it. Bendis who writes all of these sections of the book makes out the peter Parker was the centre of universe too everyone in that universe. but if you'd read any books before you'd know that wasn't the case. It was just he was the most popular single character with the audience.the second half is a lot better, but it's more like teaser trailer, it grabs your interest but there not a full story there.Overall the book is a bit everywhere, too many writers, too many artists. Give it a miss, unless your a die hard collector.

This is a collection of a six issue mini-series. Billed as coming to grips with the death of Spiderman.The pros: well there are some nice moments showing the human side of the Spiderman supporting characters.The cons? Where do I start. Firstly much of this is NOT about spiderman or any of his supporting cast. It's a series of short scenes setting up things that may happen in other Ultimate Universe comics: evil Reed Richards is back? Tony Stark joins a new Group of powerful people? Captain America quits (off stage) well thanks for telling me but I really don't care. In the old days publishers would put out a really cheap comic (say £1) with these sort of trailers. Apparently now they do six issues and charge you £14 for the collected works, while selling it as something else. Lots of bitty scenes with different artists - it's like reading a collection of prologues for other people's stories.And the Spiderman supporting cast? Well there's probably about two issues worth of actual Spiderman material here. And it really fails to have any resolution. Bits of it are quite to very good. And we have snippets of what we've lost. But there's no real resolution.I did like Ultimate Spiderman, but this is an insult, selling us extended adverts, most of which have no connection to each other, and failing to deliver the resolution (or even something that resembled a story beat) you may want for so many long running characters.Don't bother, really.

SPOILERIf the mutants were created, how are new mutants created? Is it in the air now in the atmosphere and some people are susceptible to it?Im sure it was said but i have read the ultimate stories at least twice and it wasn't clear.If your going to create a fundamental change in the marvel universe, it should be made clear.I like the change i just think it should be told better
