This issue was underwhelming to say the least. I doubt this is the way that Bendis would have chosen to end a series he's spent nearly 9 years writing and building. But I guess he has to do what the guy who's singlehandedly destroyed and sucked all the fun out of the Ultimate Universe tells him to. Yes, Loeb, I'm looking your way. Thanks for nothing pal.

Of course, we know that a character never dies off-panel, so there was no "shock" factor to this issue at all. They find Spidey's mask in a puddle. Big deal. If we didn't see him die, he ain't dead. End of story. He'll be back. Maybe it will be reconciled in the Requiem issue. But for now, a lame ending to an incredible series.

I actually just finished reading issues 132 and 133 last night. And I agree, the rest of the series was really good, but this ending sucked. To have Spidey (supposedly) go out like that....I was disappointed.

Im hoping with that whole explosion at Strange's place he maybe got transported to another dimension or something

that was my guess as well. At least that seems more likely, or perhaps he was clinging on to Hulk's back using him as a shield. But I'm still guessing for he got transported.

And I didn't get the reference that he already knew Nightmare. When did that happen? Did I read over that in the series?

You know, Loeb isn't the EIC, right? This wasn't Loeb's call. In fact, considering the pull that Bendis has, this is probably exactly how he wanted things to play out, but maybe not.

All I know is what I hear, and what I've heard is that the Ultimate line is being changed by Mark Millar, Jeph Loeb, Brian Michael Bendis, and Joe Quesada.

Apparently we all love to kick the man that everyone else is kicking, but it may not be necessary.

Sorry, not a jab at you really. It's just the fact that EVERYBODY bashes Loeb, and not all of it is appropriate.

You're not alone there. I don't know. I may keep up with some of it in trade.

I mean, c'mon, Mark Millar and Carlos Pacheco on the Ultimates. Pretty sweet.

Yes it does, but Loeb has done so much damage to the universe that brought me into comics

Yeah, I know. It's just that Loeb has basically destroyed the Ultimate Universe and he's dragging everybody else down with him. I know he's not solely to blame, but his horrible stories play a big part.

That's true, to an extent, but I do agree with the decision in that the Ultimate U has been REALLY dull lately. Why not change things up?

Really, the Ultimate U that I would like to see is something like Morrison's Marvel Boy. Completely new, but an obvious version of Spider-Man.

Since I'll never get that, I'm willing to see what they'll do to make the Ultimate U different from 616.

As far as Ultimatum goes, I'm enjoying the ride. Yes, part of me screams in agony over the death, but if it had to happen, this is an interesting execution.

At least the damage is confined to Marvel rather than DC. Hell, I don't want him to come anywhere near DC again after his recent slew of bad stories.

I have a good story idea for Neil Gaiman: Whatever Happened to the Jeph Loeb that wrote The Long Halloween?

His 17-year-old son died.

Sorry to get serious, but that changes people.
