We haven’t seen a renumbered Marvel comic in a while, so it was about time. Today with Marvel’s solicits, it was revealed that November’s issue of Ultimate (Comics) Spider-Man would be it’s 150th overall, reverting back to original numbering and volume 1 slogan. This is a big occasion for Marvel, Bendis and the Ultimate Universe ebcause it’s also the 10th anniversary of the Ultimate Universe’s creation!
The issue promises a wallop of a book too:
ULTIMATE COMICS SPIDER-MAN #150
Written by Brian Michael Bendis
Art by DAVID LAFUENTE, SKOTTIE YOUNG, SARA PICHELLI, JAMIE MCKELVIE & more!
Cover by David Lafuente
Variant Cover by J. SCOTT CAMPBELL

Not only is this officially the Ultimate Spider-Man 150th issue anniversary, but it is also the 10 year anniversary of the birth of the Ultimate Marvel universe! ! Can you believe it?? We can’t either! To celebrate, Eisner award-winning series writer Brian Michael Bendis has created this triple size extravaganza and gathered together a stellar lineup of amazing artists! ! A reunion of the greatest artists of not only this historic book but of the the entire line of Ultimate Comics. Poor Peter Parker has made such a mess of his life as Spider-Man that the other super heroes are forced to gather together and decide once and for all what to do with the young wall crawler. Guest starring the New Ultimates, the Storm Siblings, Ben Grimm, Iceman, Kitty Pryde and a slew of surprise stars! Also includes reprinting of Ultimate Spider-Man Super Special #1 featuring an all-star
artist line-up!
104 pages/54 pages of reprinted material/Rated T+ …$5.99
So you get half an issue of reprints, but did you look at that artist line up? David LaFuente (your regular artist), Skottie Young, Sara Pichelli, and Jamie McKelvie! AND MORE! It also hepls that I don’t actually have the Super Special, so it all works out in my pull.
Ultimate Spidey has always been the best Ultimate book, both before and after Ultimatum, so this is pretty damn exciting for everyone.
