One of the best versions of Spider-Man is officially returning in a brand-new series, Marvel has confirmed.
The last few years have been pretty incredible forSpider-Manfans. We’ve gotten the excellentMarvel’s Spider-Man(witha sequel on the way), the return of Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguire,plus the incredible Spider-Verse movies. But the good times don’t stop there.
Check out our preview ofMarvel’s Spider-Man 2below!
Marvel has officially announced the grand return ofUltimate Spider-Man, five years after it was originally cancelled. To be clear, this a continuation of the critically acclaimed comic book run from Brian Michael Bendis and Mark Bagley, not a continuation of the awfulUltimate Spider-Mananimated series starring Drake Bell.

For those who may not be familiar,Ultimate Spider-Mankicked off the Ultimate universe way back in 2000. The idea behind the Ultimate imprint was to tell fresh stories, using decades of established continuity to streamline and create a much easier jumping on point for new readers. Of all the Ultimate series,Ultimate Spider-Manwas the most beloved and longest-running. Perhaps its greatest contribution to widerMarvelcomic books was the creation of Miles Morales, who took up the mantle of Spider-Man when the Ultimate Peter Parker died.
Ironically the Ultimate universe was eventually phased out when the continuity of the various series became just as complicated and hard to follow as the regular 616 Marvel universe.
It remains to be seen if this newUltimate Spider-Manwill be a complete reboot, but it looks set to follow on fromUltimate Invasion, which sees the return of the classic Ultimate universe. It’s a safe bet, then, that this will be the Peter Parker we all remember from the original run.
