I have most of the Ultimate issues except for the Spidey's. Anxious to eventually get them as I heard Bendis was pretty good on this.
The Ultimate line was the most Marvel I've purchased since 2000 and I liked almost all of them.
Sorry to see the line go but at least some of it got woven into 616 (can I still call it that post-Secret Wars 2016 ?)

In my opinion Spidey is the best and most consistent series from the ultimate line. And yeah Marvel atleast still calls it 616. |

None of the re-inventions attracted me too much, from what I read or heard about them online, but there might be some that I don't know about. I think the only full story I read was one drawn by Frank Cho. Nice artwork - he should do more superhero work, I think it's the best fit for his style - but a pretty standard story, from what I remember. I might look at something else one of these days, if I hear about anything that sounds good. It's all part of the regular MU now, is that right? I wonder how that's working.

I read it. No it takes place in 616 so far. All I will say so to not spoil a pretty new issue for people is that no it does not seem to be irrelevant. I just got around to reading it. I was a little confused by the fact that Miles remembers he's from an alternate reality that doesn't exist anymore. For some reason I assumed people wouldn't remember parts of Secret Wars. |

I liked ultimates 2 but didn't like Black Widow being a traitor. Hank Pym being a wifebeater was just tacky in my opinion and I would have preferred them just being a happy couple (since most of the other characters were kinda jerks). I did NOT like Magneto being a complete monster. His holocaust survivor backstory works because it makes him more sympathetic. You can understand him even if his actions are monstrous. Also, having mutants be the result of a science experiment was also rather cheap.
I actually read a fan version of the ultimates universe. It kept a lot of stuff but changed things (the main antagonist of Ultimates 2 is different, Crossbones is the one who slaughters hawkeye's family, Magneto is more sympathetic)
