One of the first titles of writer Jonathan Hickman's new Ultimate Universe has been announced, and it's the same one that started the original Ultimate Marvel line way back when: Ultimate Spider-Man.
Hickman will launch a new Ultimate Spider-Man #1 in January, alongside artist Marco Checchetto, fresh off his long Daredevil run with writer Chip Zdarsky. Marvel hasn't revealed any further details of the new Ultimate Spider-Man #1, but the publisher promises that more will be announced during October's New York Comic Con.
The original Ultimate Spider-Man kicked off in 2000, with writer Brian Michael Bendis and artist Mark Bagley reimagining Peter Parker's origins, supporting cast, and villains in a more contemporary setting.
A whole Ultimate Universe spun-off from Ultimate Spider-Man, with its own separate continuity alongside the mainstream Marvel Universe. Many elements of the original Ultimate Universe influenced the early MCU, particularly the casting of Samuel L Jackson as Nick Fury, as he was the visual model for the Ultimate version of the character in comics.
The Ultimate Universe ceased to exist in 2015 with the landmark story Secret Wars (also written by Hickman) which brought Miles Morales, Peter Parker's successor as Spider-Man in the Ultimate Universe, into the mainstream Marvel Universe.
Hickman and Checchetto have actually created one Spider-Man story together before, the short story 'You Get It,' from the Amazing Fantasy #1000 anthology. In that story, Peter Parker encounters a whole Spider-Verse of other versions of himself, who all commiserate with the tragedies he's faced in his life and the struggles of being Spider-Man.
The new Ultimate Spider-Man #1, and the entire new Ultimate Universe it kicks off, will spin out of Hickman and artist Bryan Hitch's current Ultimate Invasion limited series.
Stay up to date on all the new Spider-Man comics Marvel has planned for release.
Despite glaring suggestions and hints, people are still debating the identity behind the symbiote suit in Insomniac’s upcoming Spider-Man 2.
Spider-Man: Miles Morales opens with a smooth rumble of the Dual Sense controller and into 125th Street subway station, Harlem. The follow-up to 2018’s Spider-Man, knows exactly where it needs to place Miles to set the stage for a world that celebrates its title character’s culture. As Miles sets foot into the neighborhood he will soon fight to protect, we immediately see what sets this Spider-Man apart. Effectively known as the “Main Street” of Harlem, this neighborhood is known as a center of commerce, brimming with cultural significance. It’s where we first see Miles Morales take center stage. We’re greeted with the ice and snow-packed streets of New York at Christmas, and a thumping beat that Miles bops his head to. There is a sense of community and culture that Insomniac has taken meticulous care to craft.
My most anticipated game for this year is almost here with Spider-Man 2, and to help celebrate the launch, Sony Interactive Entertainment is proud to debut and share its new cinematic spot for the latest adventure in the critically acclaimed Marvel’s Spider-Man franchise. Spider-Men, Peter Parker and Miles Morales, will face the ultimate test of strength inside and outside the mask as they fight to save the city, each other and the ones they love.
Insomniac Games has confirmed that Marvel's Spider-Man 2 won't feature in-game rewards for players who have the platinum trophy for previous games.
is the sixteenth movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It was released in 2017 and takes place after the events of Captain America: Civil War. Watch Spidey’s debut in the MCU as he gears up to join the Avengers. But, will his passion for becoming a superhero clash with his ordinary high school life?
Hey, everyone! I’m Michele Zorrilla, the Advanced Senior UX Researcher at Insomniac Games. With the launch of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 just around the corner, our team at Insomniac is excited to share one of the ways we can all #BeGreaterTogether – through accessibility! So today, I’d like to highlight some of the notable accessibility features swinging into the game at launch on October 20, then I’ll pass it over to Sam Schaffel, Insomniac Games’s Accessibility Design Researcher, who will provide an update on more features arriving in a post-launch update.
In a new Spider-Man comparison shot between Insomniac's first game and the upcoming sequel, we see Peter Parker clinging to the wall as he looks over New York City, no longer covered in smog. It's vibrant, the sky brighter, with far more trees transforming the grey wasteland into a green oasis. But fans aren't fussed about NYC, they're all about Peter Parker's dumptruck.
With a month to go until launch, developers Insomniac Games have announced that Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, the long-awaited sequel to the 2018 superhero hit, has officially gone gold and completed development, meaning it’s on track for its release next month, and fans can officially get hyped for its release.
Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 is one of the biggest games left in 2023 that fans are dying to get their hands on. The title has been getting lots of information and trailers lately, and Insomniac Games isn’t afraid to “spill some tea” on what you might be able to see and do as you swing around the city. As gamers found out earlier this year, when you’re in the open-world setting of New York, you’ll have the option to swap between Peter Parker and Miles Morales. That’s important because not only is this game about both characters but there are tasks and missions specifically assigned to them.
It’s been confirmed that no matter who you play as in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, you’ll still be able to see the other Spider-Man out and about in New York, stopping crime.
Spider-Man 2 will allow you to play as both Peter Parker and Miles Morales when it launches next month, even allowing you to switch between the two web-slingers with just the push of a single button. While it was never confirmed what the other Spider-Man is actually doing when you're not in control of them, most of us assumed that the other would simply vanish into the ether, prepared to leap into action at a moment's notice whenever the player feels like switching again.
You can look forward to a huge Marvel's Spider-Man 2 blowout here on Push Square tomorrow, but for now, check out this new PS5 trailer all about the open world. It explains how you'll swap between playing as each Spider-Man, what optional activities look like and how you'll find them, and a hint at side quests.
