When Spider-men collide.

[sherkahn]

BleedingCool.com has
the major announcement as the Spider-men silhouettes are revealed.

Yeah, you could've seen this coming a mile away. "Miles" away.






Peter Parker (616) and Miles Morales finally meet.

And the cross overs/cross pollenation/sharing of the same underwear begins...

Wonder what this guy...


...and this guy


(who presently both in the 616)
...have to say about it.

[shadowpsykie]

wait what? since when is Spider-man 2099 in the 616?

[sherkahn]

***My bad.***

Re-reading that last of the Exiles issues where that team spreads out, I assumed Miguel was on 616.

[glprime]

Hehe. Likewise. I was like, "Wha-buh huh?! MAN I can't keep up on the goings and happenings by scanned previews alone!"

[darkknightjrk]

I don't know about it being the perfect thing for the 50th Anniversary of Spidey, but I'll definitely read it.

[thefiretonight]

Personally, I'd like this crossover a few years down the line. It feels like we have barely seen Miles as Spidey at all.

[icon_uk]

It does seem a little premature.

[long_silence]

Didn't someone at Marvel once say that if the 616 Universe ever crossed over with the Ultimate Universe then they'd officially run out of ideas?

[shadowpsykie]

but it has happened already, with the Zombie's i believe....

[turtlefu]

Technically, no.

The Ultimate Universe had a crossover with a Zombie Universe.
Then, later, the Zombie Universe had a crossover with the Marvel Universe (616)

So, crossover-by-proxy. Like two degrees of separation, but not a 616-Ultimate Crossover in and of itself.

[flash_fan]

That's actually EXACTLY what they said. So I guess that cat's out of the bag.

[lascoden]

None other then Joe Q. But, it seems he's been pushing this for the anniversary.

[icon_uk]

Yes, but...

[lbd_nytetrayn]

Fair enough, I figure. Besides which, this is at least a little different, since it's not Ultimate Peter Parker meeting Peter Parker...

[doomisay]

To be fair, some are of the belief that they ran out when Jeph Loeb got to shit on the whole thing.

[ninjapeps]

this is also the guy that said they wouldn't undo Spidey's marriage via magic retcon and we all know how that turned out.

[lascoden]

The more I think about it, the less I like this idea. And it's not because of the crossover aspect, I think the Ultimate and Main universes are now distinct enough that a crossover could have potential. What I dislike about this is its possible effect on Miles, who I have come to like. I keep hearing people, Bendis, Alonso, and people on forums, say that this will have a huge influence on him, working with someone who is essentially his hero and idol. I don't want that. I want him to grow as a character on his own. He's not quite at the superhero stage yet in his development, more like trainee. He's more Spider-Boy then Spider-Man. I think he can get there, be a real Spider-Man, but I think he should get there on his own. I love 616 Spider-Man more then any superhero, but I don't want Miles to become him. I want Miles to be his own Spider-Man.

[pyrotwilight]

Well this sounds...odd. Though I guess they did do a Spider-man 2099 meets 616 Spiderman story before so it's not too out there. But it seems kinda early for Miles to meet Peter even if it isn't his universe's Peter.

[deepspaceartist]

I wonder which Spidey is visiting the other's universe. It'd probably be more traumatic for Miles to visit a world where everything is different, seeing as he's still new to the superhero thing. He might even meet an alternate version of himself who, considering the age difference between the two Peters, could already be a adult. Peter on the other hand, probably wouldn't be too phased by visisting an alternate universe. He`s been at this for a while, and even a universe where his counterpart dies as a teenaged Spider-Man probably wouldn`t phase him too much.

I think I would personally prefer Peter in the ulimate universe instead of vice versa. I think it would be pretty neat to see how all of ultimate Peter`s friends and family deal with meeting an adult version of him.

[sherkahn]

Which begs the question:

Who is the villain that can bridge both worlds together? It's someone they both share.

[q99]

I always wanted to see Mayday and Ult Peter meet.

[thefiretonight]

I really liked when Mayday met her younger father.

[And oddly enough, that awkward moment when the Human Torch hit on her.]

[sherkahn]

scan?

[thefiretonight]

I have the issue but not a scanner, sorry. :(

[deleonjh]

What issue is it? I might be able to dig it up somewhere.

[pyrotwilight]

I'd actually be rather amused to see Mayday and Miles meet.

[q99]

Yea, that'd be cool... I kinda want to see Mayday meet just about any younger Spider.

[book_of_daniel]

That's a great cover image but what you can't see is the two of them are swinging over a shark.

[icon_uk]

I don't think this is something that Miles Morales needs right now characterwise, unless he meets Pete and notes "The first Spider-Man on my Earth was an incredibly cool 15 year old kid... YOU'RE who he would grown up to be???"

[nefrekeptah]

Honestly? I think this is rather awesome.

With any luck, it won't be a huge crisis, and it won't involve any non-spidey characters from either side - just a small mini-series where Peter Parker goes to a world where he became Spider-Man at age fifteen because of his uncle - and then died shortly afterward.

And of course Peter interacting with Miles ought to be very interesting.

[akodo_rokku]

The more I see Miles' costume next to the other ones, the less I like the "webbing" part of it.

Also their hedz R pasted on yay.

[thanekos]

" General Fury has HAIR? This IS an alternate universe. "

[cypherfdp]

"General Fury is WHITE?"

[sir_mikael]

I always enjoyed this little exchange between alternate versions of beloved characters in Exiles:

*Sasquatch turns human.*
Everyone: O.O
Sasquatch: "So what's the shock? That I'm a woman? Or that I'm black?"
Spider-Man: "Woman."
She-Hulk: "Black."
Storm: "I have no earthly idea who you are."

The reactions I want to see

[big_daddy_d]

Aunt May
Gwen Stacy
Kitty
Iceman
Johnny
Peter
MJ (which god if there was ever a time for a married Peter Parker..)

Re: The reactions I want to see

[deepspaceartist]

I think the best reaction of all would be from Ultimate Jessica Drew.
I like to belive she'd be comicly indiferent. "What, another me running around? Been there before."

[eaglet_auditore]

I admit the only thing I can think about is ''Yay, Miles Morales!''. My mind refuses to acknowledge anything else.
Does seem rather soon, as Miles is still new for me too. But whatever, I'm in.

[lbd_nytetrayn]

I wonder how open Peter will be... it would be interesting if Miles spills on what happened to Peter in his universe, explaining how he got to be Spider-man, and maybe Peter decides for some reason that he shouldn't identify himself as the AU version of the same guy.

Maybe, in light of Miles' putting Ult. Peter on a pedestal, 616 Peter would feel inadequate in his shadow, and decide not to ruin whatever idealism Miles might have over the whole thing.

"My real name... is Ben. Ben Reilly..."

[zapbiffpow]

"I wonder what this guy and this guy have to say about it."

I hope "Spider-Man Dance Party!" or "Everybody dance now!" comes close to the top ten!
