Miles Morales: Ultimate Spider-Man #2

[cyberghostface]

 



Miles accidentally zaps Peter. Peter tells him to remember that he asked nice a hundred times and knocks Miles out. When Miles comes to, his webshooters are gone.

Best part is Ganke's full reaction to the reveal of Jessica's origin, which is basically, "Well, I'm comfortable enough to say that Peter Parker had a really nice butt, then." :D

[big_daddy_d]

I was waiting on him to say something like "..will I be as hot as a girl and would it be wrong that I want to do me?"

[silverhammerman]

I decided to get onboard the book with this latest relaunch, since I've heard good things, but try as I might the pacing still kills me. The story is interesting, the characters are likable, the dialogue is fun, it's all very well constructed, but reading it still just leaves me thinking that I'd chew off my own foot if it'd speed up the damn story.

The plot's interesting at least, though how many stories has it been now that have centered on Peter Parker's legacy? Having a black-Hispanic kid as the "real" Spider-Man is great, but it doesn't exactly mean as much if everyone is constantly talking about the old guy. I'd like to see Miles Morales just get to be Spider-Man, instead of Spider-Man No. 2, in his own book for once.

[cyberghostface]

I kind of feel the same way. I want to like Miles but at this point 90% of his character is just reacting to everything around him. I'm on the fence if I want to continue the series or not...

[q99]

For speed, I've always tradewaited the series for that reason.

For a writer known for snappy dialogue, Bendis can have a pacing problem. Of course, this is the guy who took AMAZING FANTASY #15 and spread it out over 4 issues for ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN. I will give him credit for having Peter jump immediately to crime fighting instead of hemming and hawing as he did in AMAZING FANTASY #16-18 and the current LEARNING TO CRAWL series.

[zapbiffpow]

Did Peter and Miles just go hostile on each other? Not even a street-clothes team-up issue before starting the yellworks?

Come on, dudes. Give us the chance to enjoy Miles as Spider-Man for a while.

[naebler]

So not peter...

[thehood]

It's clone, likely the Scorpion clone.

Thus explaining why he's acting like a jerk.

[shadur]

... So their response to the people who wanted the fun Peter from Ult!Spidey back was to bring him back as a douchebag?

Seriously?

[grazzt]

They shouldn't have used the Pet Sematary to resurrect him. Live and learn.

[cyberghostface]

That's probably why they're doing that. Like when Marvel wanted readers to accept Ben as the 'real' Spider-Man they turned Peter into a raving lunatic who backhanded his pregnant wife.

[yvonmukluk]

This is probably a 'The Return of Barry Allen' type situation, rather than the real Peter.

That or the real Peter's going to swing in and help Miles take out the imposter later.

[shadowpsykie]

or you know... being dead and resurrected might have been a bit traumatic. he makes an excellent point. there have been no resurrections in the UVerse... the closest thing IS Cap....

i'd like to see how this plays out.

[thehood]

Your assuming it's the real Peter Parker, when it's not. The book even has two criminals calling themselves the "Spider-Men twins".

[icon_uk]

Somethings off, of course. Why would "our" Peter need his old web-shooters? Wouldn't he be able to reconstruct them?

[deepspaceartist]

I can think of reasonable explanations on why a 'good' Peter (real thing or clone) would want or need his old web shooters back. Perhaps he's in a situation where he doesn't have the funds to get the parts and chemicals he needs to make new ones. Or perhaps he think Miles is too young to be risking his life and wants to discourage him without out and out telling him to quit, because that has never worked on any hero worth their salt.

But thoe are a bit of a stretch, so I'm definitly leaning towards this Peter not being a good guy.

[chrisdv]

His current/final web shooters were a gift from Tony Stark in literally the last issue before DOSM. Peter probably could rebuild them, but he couldn't do any better than Iron Man's work.

[firstmoonie]

This is gonna end up like Mark Waid's "Return of Barry Allen" story.

Just watch.

[funbox]

For those of you who haven't read the first issue, two Spidermen (can't remember if one of them was a girl or not) were seen robbing a tech containing van. If we all remember the run right before the Death of Peter Parker, we remember that there are Chameleon twins still in this universe. This is (in my opinion) the best possibility, Another one is that these are brain washed clones and we could possible be dealing with an Ult Jackal. Either way, it's shaping up to be interesting, can't wait for this issue to arrive in the mail!

[thehood]

The Ultimate clones were created by Doc Ock, not Jackal. And clone is the more likely scenario since the Scorpion clone is the only surviving Spider-Man clone besides Ultimate Spider-Woman.

[shadowpsykie]

hmmm it could be Peter... resurrection is a new thing in the Marvel U. maybe he's not taking it well... or it's a clone, or any number of things... still, his attitude isn't the best thing to judge him on, at least not yet...

[shadowpsykie]

awe man, you end the scans right THERE?

WHO walked by?!?!?!

[nate_abril96]

Thanos.
