Spider-Man is dying… at least in the alternative Ultimate universe. And as fans count down the days until the events of “Death of Spider-Man” unfolds, Marvel has released some new information regarding the the death of Spider-Man storyline which will take place in “Ultimate Comics Spider-Man” and “Ultimate Avengers vs New Ultimates” as well as a new costume and a new Spider-Man.
Marvel Editor-in-Chief Axel Alonso revealed today that we’ll be getting a new Spider-Man and it won’t be puny Parker. “That’s not Peter Parker,” Alonso said. “There’s going to be someone new wearing the costume.”
Marvel has since released the official press release:
Marvel has announced that after the shocking events of Death of Spider-Man, the sold out storyline currently running through Ultimate Comics Spider-Man and Ultimate Comics Avengers Vs Ultimates, there will be a new Spider-Man and a new character under the mask. Something’s happened to Peter Parker and here comes an all-new Spider-Man…in an all-new costume!
“We called this story Death of Spider-Man for a reason,” said Axel Alonso, Marvel Editor In Chief. “This is a huge story that’ll have fans around the world talking for a long time as we set the stage for the debut of our new Spider-Man.”
The Ultimate Universe is irrevocably changed with the conclusion to Death of Spider-Man in June’s polybagged Ultimate Spider-Man #160, but right now you can get in on the red-hot story that leads to the birth of an all-new Spider-Man, including new printings of the sold out issues: And to make sure you don’t miss a single chapter, pick up all the acclaimed issues below:
