i will never forgive marvel for canceling this.
it could’ve been a long series like bendis’s ultimate spiderman and it would’ve been a better series than that also. i wish we got to see more of this story by hickman.
i am glad harry finally erased norman’s ai from his suit. it was an awful idea to begin with.

Bittersweet to note that this really did feel like the best possible ending for this run/alternative Spidey. As a finale volume, it lands with emotional clarity and a sense of thematic closure that feels earned. And yet… it’s bittersweet because it’s hard not to see all the stories we won’t get. This world was messy, strange, full of potential—Hobgoblins as a Zodiac‑killer legion, Hydro‑Man causing tsunamis, all the wild corners Hickman could’ve explored if he weren’t juggling Three Worlds/Three Moons and unfinished projects. There was so much room to grow. I read this after waiting a long time and it hit right. I will miss Mayday and Richard Parker - they didn't get enough time.
The series started strong, then slowed down and repeated beats, especially around the time jump. I still don’t understand how Richard accessed the suit or why Peter and Harry’s disappearance barely registers in the narrative. Actually he disappeared twice. His dad/AI also could have been explored deeply - it would have been another villain arc lasting 5 issues in itself. But even with those stumbles, I genuinely enjoyed this book. Hickman’s voice is still commanding in the comics world—and even when this run wasn’t perfect, it was never boring.
There were so many standout choices. Ben Parker being alive and teaming up with J. Jonah Jameson? Incredible bromance. Harry staying morally grounded instead of spiraling into the usual Osborn melodrama? Loved it. Kingpin and his Sinister Six were fun, Mole Man was surprisingly funny with his Molepeople, MJ and the kids were warm and believable, Gwen as Mysterio was inspired. Otto’s arc was way too short, but what we got was good. Above all: MJ as everyone's perfect girlfriend turned wife... we could not ask for more than that, and the epilogue here sealed the five stars for me. It was a deep hit of nostalgia for the child inside me reading old issues on my bed on a warm Saturday morning.
In the end, this wasn’t the next long‑form Ultimate Spider-Man epic we hoped for. It became something else—a sharp, heartfelt anthology about a new Peter Parker in a new world, wearing a familiar mask but carrying different burdens. And honestly? It was a blast. The characters worked, the writing hit more than it missed, and the art was consistently gorgeous.
I’m going to miss this series. Maybe in ten years Marvel will give us a “Newer New Ultimate Universe,” and maybe we’ll get to revisit this Peter again. I hope so. For now, this was a beautiful goodbye. See ya later Pete.

Man, do I really wish this felt like the ending we have come to expect from Hickman. Spoiler warning: it's not.
Ultimate Spidey was the big series coming out of this relaunch, and was pretty strong through the first year. But after the kraven stuff, this book was simultaneously doing too much/not enough with the remaining time it had. I still suspect the "line conclusion" from Marvel wasn't planned, and this is what we are left with.
This whole volume felt like throwing ideas at the wall, with no time to see them develop. It does wrap up the Kingpin plot, sure. The micro hero vs villain catharsis is there. But the grand scheme is found very wanting. I don't think I care for Richard as a second Spidey, and I never felt positive about Black Cat.
I'm still torn on MJ as a whole throughout this whole series, she seemed too doting and too supportive, past all limits. Seeing her and Pete be a married couple was kinda novel, but it didn't amount to anything tangible.
Mirroring the first issues final page with a updated version for this issue was a artistic touch, but it rings hollow. This book just ran out of gas, and I'm more saddened by what it could have been, and not what it became. With great power comes great responsibility, and I don't think Hickman/Checcetto used their powers to their full potential.

What the heck is going on with Marvel’s editorial? Ugh anyway, in general, this arc was … fine. It’s hard not to grade it on a negative curve - and it’s hard to treat this arc by itself being the culmination of it all.
Solid, but frustratingly short of what it could have been. The biggest issue might have been the decision to jump an in-universe month between every issue. That structure undercut character development and skipped over interactions that should have carried emotional weight. For a story built around Peter’s life and relationships, that is a major flaw.
The scale also worked against it. The plot grew too large, with too many characters for a 24-issue run to properly service. It either needed more room to breathe or a tighter, more focused scope.
There is still a lot to appreciate, especially giving Peter and MJ a stable, intact family and a definitive ending. But in the end, it feels like wasted potential. A good Spider-Man story that could have been much more.

“You know, a good friend of
mine once told me that with great
power comes great responsibility.
But I think each of us has the great
responsibility of fighting for what
we believe in, great power or not.”

MJ is THE ONE for Peter and I won’t hear anyone who thinks otherwise. I feel like this was MADE for me because I loved every damn panel and every damn word. I get why it was so short butI really wish they would have done something more with it. We’ll have to wait to Ultimate Endgame I guess.

Review of advance copy
All in all, I give Hickman a lot of credit for finding a way to breathe some new life in a character that is too often playing covers of his best hits. That said, I also can fathom how some might argue Hickman devolves into the same fate. Starting from a place of ripe potential, and ending somewhere so common. Still, I can appreciate the thematic tenants of Hickman’s version the character. Peter’s greatest power is also his greatest struggle, and without it, life may be simpler. He could grow up, start a family, become someone else, but there would still be something missing. Our passions shape us as much as our loved ones do, and while Hickman crafts an uneven and overly wrought path of getting there, I do still love that central idea.

Sticks the landing. Hickman’s best Marvel work since Secret Wars. And though it does feel like there was a lot more meat on the bone, it’s also the longest thing he’s done in years. Some fun twists and turns. The Checcetto pages are great; the others are just okay. This will be a series I return to often.
Review of advance copy
Decent ending to an inspired reimagining of Spiderman as an older, family man who gets his powers later in life. This is the ultimate showdown with the Kingpin as the current world order is threatened by Peter and his allies. There is lots of danger and I worried this might have a tragic end. The end was more hopeful than I expected which was nice. Read this as monthly issues.
Review of advance copy
Throughout its run, Ultimate Spider-Man has easily been the best of the Ultimate line. That trend continues with the end of the run. This is the comic I'll miss when the Ultimate line ends in a few months.

The sad end of ultimate Spider-Man which should’ve had more issues. Not the best issues of the run in my opinion but still good and I enjoyed the somewhat rushed ending.
