I was initially sad when I heard the news that Ultimate Comics Spider-Man was coming to an end. Whether or not Miles entering the 616 Universe is a good thing has yet to be seen, but the current run has been one of my favorites every month since the very first issue. C:UCSM is essentially the same title, but renumbered for the big event, so we’re still getting the same great writing and supporting cast that Bendis hooked fans with. If you loved Ultimate Spider-Man, then this is a must read.

I’ll be the first to admit, just about the only Ultimate Universe title I read is Spidey. I had started reading Ultimates and X-men, but ended up dropping those books a while ago. It’s a shame because I have heard some very good things about those books and with the looming rumors of the Ultimate Universe coming to an end, I can’t help but wonder if I played a small part in its untimely demise.

This is the final issue of Ultimate Comics Spider-Man before the big Cataclysm event. It’s hard to tell what the future holds for the entirety of the Ultimate universe, but I would find it hard to believe that this is the last we’d be seeing of Miles. Regardless, this was a well written conclusion to the Spider-Man No More arc where Spider-Man and his makeshift team of Spider-Woman, Cloak, Dagger, and Bombshell face off against the man responsible for bestowing their super powers, Roxxon and his crew. Miles Morales is by far my favorite Spidey to don the suit and it’s good to see him once again answer his calling, just a year after the tragic death of his mother, serving as his own “Uncle Ben moment.”
