We've seen Spider-Man's death due to Ultimatum. Well, I suppose we haven't actually seen it. But people seem to be pretty sure he's dead.
While I loved seeing the return of Mark Bagley to Ultimate Spider-Man, it just didn't quite feel like a "requiem" issue to me. Do you think the "flashback" should have been focused on just one incident? If Jameson has all these stories, you'd think he'd ponder over more than just one, especially since this is a two issue mini-series. It also feels like it could have just continued in Ultimate Spider-Man rather than making a new book. What did you think? We know a "new" Spider-Man is supposed to appear in the new Ultimate Spidey book. Who thinks Peter Parker is really dead? Would Marvel actually kill his character since it's the Ultimate Universe?

When i first saw JJ's look on his face when he realized how wrong he was I felt the same as he did. because it was too little too late
The reason JJJ was only writing about one spider-man story is because he didn't find out he was "dead" untill the end of the issue, then he finds out he's writing his requiem, so seeing as how it's a two parter, I'm sure we will get to see all of his many accomplishments in issue 2
Wonder how he's going to be brought back for the new ultimate spider-man series

I agree it wasn't perfect and that it could have covered more ground, but the ending is really the set up for the second issue and what that will be, which I'm more excited for.
The art, I loved Bagley's art and I was sad to hear he was leaving all those many months ago, but I like Stuart Immonen's art, it's different but still good and not trying to be Bagley.
Looking forward to issue two.

The world's reation to Spider-man death! - I think that's a pretty good plot to explore in an alternate reality.
Also, I liked the music during the review. Keep it up!

i think this is cool thing to do in an alternate reality because no one would be ok w/ spidey dying (and actually dying) in the 616 world. buttttt i feel like jameson is a little dumb. idk. i dont like this concept. maybe its just too out of character or something. idk. it just seems off. yea i know its ultimate and different and its good to be different, whatever. still seems weird. dont love it. bendis is legit tho
In Jameson's defense, he was always about the "true" hero. Originally the reason he hated Spidey so much was because he wore a mask like a coward. He got a lot of attention and was a glory hound while other people, like his son, were more the unsung heroes. For all they did, no one really cared. Spidey was all about the flash and glitz (remember he did start out as an entertainer before Uncle Ben died). Now, Jameson feels like a douche that this kid obviously risked his life over and over and sacrificed himself.
As far as Spidey dying in the Ultimate universe, imagine if Bendis and Marvel actually did it. Now I'm sure we can all agree that we know he will return. But how rad would it be if Marvel actually did kill off Peter Parker (even in the Ultimate universe)?

I loved this issue so much I had to put it down as soon as Bagley's art hit me. I didnt read the cover, I thought it was just Immonen.
It was such a pang of nostalgia once I turned the page and noticed Ultimate MJ looking exactly the same as I'd first seen her such a long time ago. So i just had to put the issue down for a bit for fear of finishing it and dying in anticipation of the next one. This is no exaggeration.
Ultimate Spidey is my favorite series and I found it particularly refreshing to read a story where it wasnt entirely in conjunction with Ultimatum.
As sad as it all is, I am not convinced for one damn moment that Pete is dead or will be replaced permenently.

They should totally kill him, it's only the Ultimate Universe it's not like it is the real Spiderman. Why not take advantage of the fact that you can kill a character without killing a character. The great thing about the Ultimate Universe is that you can do that kind of stuff and it doesn't effect what is really going on in the real Marvel Universe. I say kill him and leave him dead for as long as you can, see where you can take it.
Never really gotten into Ultimate Spidey, but it sounds like they killed him of, soooo, yeah he's dead.
@War Killer: I agree we need to see how MJ, Kitty, Gwen, Kong, and May feel about this!
