Sorry been away from comics for a bit with life stuff and other, well, stuff. Anyway I picked up reading Ultimate Spider-Man (2000) and it's so good. I'm on issue 25 and I really dig the writing, It's like all the best beats from classic spider-man but with a fresh coat of paint for the 21st century.

i was a big fan of the ultimate spider-man run. it was really the shining light of a truly disappointing line of comics

Hm, I was thinking about taking a peek at the other ultimate series.

From what I remember as a kid, the Ultimate universe was divided between Bendis in Ultimate Spider-Man doing a fun reboot for a new audience, and Mark Millar doing a subversion of classic superhero tropes in an unnecessarily way.

definitely give them a shot, i think they lead up to some cool stuff

Ultimate x-men is my favorite marvel comic currently, if you decide to check it
