Bendis Baits Sites with End of Ultimate Spidey Tumblr Response, We Bite

As noted by Twitter user @Jstnbsn, writer Brian Michael Bendis responded to a user on Tumblr with… well, let’s just show that:

i know you have a lot on your plate but any chance you will have a new marvel book any time soon? ~ nicho torres

Bendis: Well, now that ultimate comics: Spiderman is done I might have to find something else to fill that space in my life 🙁

but I have a lot of creator owned work to focus on including Powers, brilliant, Scarlet, and the upcoming United States of murder Inc.

Now, this very well may be Bendis baiting sites like us with tasty morsels, and we’re certainly biting, but we don’t actually believe Miles Morales is going anywhere.

However, while “Ultimate Comics Spider-Man” very well could be ending in its current form as Bendis said, it might just be relaunching in a new form. Why do we think that? Well, let’s look at the evidence.

– See #10 on our Soliciting Multiversity piece. It sure looks like Joe Quinones is working on an Ultimate Spidey-related book with Bendis (as you can see at the top as well) in the post-“Cataclysm” world.

– Bendis previously noted that there will be an issue #200 of Ultimate Spidey, which hasn’t been reached yet.

In short, it doesn’t feel like the end of Ultimate Spidey, just its form changing once again. Either that, or Bendis is messing with us, and if that’s the case, well played Bendis. Well played.
