In this week's packed episode, the boys compare the Absolute DC Universe to the Ultimate Marvel Universe. Absolute Wonder Woman is a superhero comic book series published by DC Comics, based on the character Wonder Woman. The series is written by Kelly Thompson and illustrated by Hayden Sherman, and began publication on October 23, 2024, as part of DC's Absolute Universe imprint. After the events of ULTIMATE INVASION, the world needs a hero. Step forward, Peter Parker! But this is an older, wiser web-slinger - one who balances his costumed duties with his responsibilities as a husband and a father. That's right, Peter and Mary Jane are married with kids! The stakes have never been higher - and as Spider-Man faces his first super villain, J. Jonah Jameson's quest to uncover who's really pulling the strings of this new Ultimate Universe leads to a shocking revelation! Plus: New York City welcomes its newest hero…the Green Goblin! But who's behind the mask? And what does the Goblin know of the true status of the world in which he lives?

This week we take a special look at the Ultimate Marvel Universe, the reboot that inspired the MCU! In the year 2000 Marvel Comics gave gritty, modern reboots to Spider-Man, X-Men and The Avengers, creating brand new versions of the characters in a brand new universe. Ultimate Marvel was a huge hit, and laid the blueprint for how to modernise the characters for the cinema screen and inspired the MCU! This episode is taken from our massive episode that deep-dives into Ultimate Avengers the animated movie https://open.spotify.com/episode/2l2GhIWPBWTPdtVZi5c5zq?si=8dUPNYUeTiuz7hCl9C6UNg For awesome bonus episodes visit https://www.patreon.com/marvelversusmarvel marvelversusmarvel@gmail.com https://twitter.com/marvelversus https://twitter.com/robhalden https://robhalden.com https://will-preston.co.uk
What is the new Ultimate Marvel Universe? In what ways is it different than the original? After spending 2 episodes building the necessary backstory, today, we'll discuss how Marvel threw all that out with the bathwater and made something completely different instead. We'll talk about Jonathan Hickman's extremely elaborate story "Ultimate Invasion," his slightly less elaborate "Ultimate Spider-Man", as well as Peach Momoko's "Ultimate X-Men." Also, Zach read "The Ultimates" by Al Ewing, and he'll discuss how his thoughts about it didn't change at all after reading it for himself.

Welcome to Neo-Reality Collective | Pop-Culture News and Reviews Talk, Hosted by Eric Brown! In the Sixty-Second Episode, Microsoft and Xbox continue to face an upheaval battle for control of Activision-Blizzard. Many industry regulators cite their concerns regarding a potential monopoly and the fate of the hugely successful Call of Duty Franchise being a potential exclusive to the Xbox Platform. Details emerge regarding Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania in regards to VFX and Michael Pena's Luis noticeable absence from the film, House of The Dragon gets their fans riled up with the potential release of 2024, skipping out of the 2023 season entirely…despite the fact this was known since the middle of the first season, so I don't know what the big problem is besides the dreaded pain of waiting. Amazon's New World is switching to a seasonal model, and free/premium battle passes as the MMORPG tries to find an audience. David Harbour, one of the main casts of Stranger Things, is ready for the series to end after the fifth season, while Jon Favreau reveals he has already completed the scripts for Season 4 before Season 3 premieres March 1st! Elon Musk continues butchering Twitter by restricting the 2-Factor Authentication system behind the Twitter blue paywall…what the hell?! The Marvels, following the continuing adventures of Captain Marvel, Ms. Marvel, and Monica, releases a new poster and reveals a release date delay to November 2023, while Loki Season 2 and Secret Invasion are planned to be the only MCU Disney+ Content released this, now if only Star Wars D+ Shows did that, we wouldn't have to have Qui-Gon Jinn actor, Liam Neeson, make understandable points regarding the Star Wars influx of content in rapid succession. I Am Legend 2 will take place some decades after the events of the first film, more specifically, the original alternate ending where Will Smith's character lives, along with interesting perspectives regarding the events of the film. And finally, on the comic book side of things, Marvel announces THREE comic book events for the Summer of 2023, a Star Wars Comic Crossover event with a teased ‘First, it comes for the metal' tagline, while an official next summer blockbuster comic event set in the main Marvel Universe titled Contest of Chaos is made official with another surprising crossover 4-Issue Miniseries crossing over Marvel Earth-616, and the returning Earth-1610, famously known as The Ultimate Marvel Universe, with superstar writer and artist, Jonathan Hickman and Bryan Hitch in a crossover called Ultimate Invasion! And Lastly, DC Comics announces the worst-kept secret event comic for their Dawn of DC relaunch, Knight Terrors, written by Dark Crisis event writer Joshua Williamson and a slew of artists such as Howard Porter, Guillem March, and more.

Spider-Man remains to be one of the timeless characters that remains a pop culture icon. However, every character needs a revitalization to be relatable to readers and the world around him, especially a character at that time was around for 40 years. The Ultimate Marvel Universe was introduced as a world with an modern realistic take of what problems readers are dealing with outside their door as well as addressing the cultural issues people were facing. Brian Michael Bendis introduces a fresh take on Spider-Man that takes Peter Parker back to his roots of high school beginning, but taking place in the year 2000, when the comic book was coming out. Partnered with the rising Spider-Man artist Mark Bagley, this team would tell a contemporary ongoing story that would encourage new concepts while revisiting classic characters and the goal of introducing new readers to this infamous webslinging superhero.

Miles has to deal with a disappearing dad, and the return of Peter Parker and the Green Goblin, plus choosing to reveal your secret identity to the wrong person, that and the end of the world…twice.Affiliate link includedTranscript below:Miles Morales faces the end of the world twice. It's time to take a look at Miles Morales' The Ultimate Spiderman: Ultimate Collection Book Three, straight ahead.Welcome to the Classy Comics Podcast where we search for the best comics in the universe. From Boise, Idaho here is your host, Adam Graham.Well, the first thing I should explain is the general idea of the Ultimate Marvel Universe or continuity can be a major challenge when coming to one of the long-established companies. There's so much of it going on but when you do reboots to shake up and start over on your continuity you often tick off existing fans. Or what if you could, on one hand, maintain your existing continuity but create a brand new continuity to draw new fans to your book, and that was the idea behind the Ultimate Marvel Universe essentially. The Ultimate Universe started off fresh with characters who were like their counterparts in the main Six Sixteen Marvel Universe, but they weren't exactly the same. They weren't going to make the exact same choices, and so there was, I think, some opportunities for creativity. There was less continuity that tied people down so they were able to just do different things with different characters. Some of this worked, some of it didn't. Sometimes they went too far but we're focusing on Spiderman, and Spiderman started out as Peter Parker and he was written by Brian Michael Bendis. He continued in that role until Issue 150 when Peter Parker and the Green Goblin died while fighting one another. Miles was a twelve-year-old who actually got spider powers of his own. When he became a little bit older he began to work as Spiderman. His mom was actually killed as a result of a fight with Venom and he hung up his webs for a whole year before coming out of retirement and joining forces with the cloak and dagger of the Ultimate Universe who first appeared in his book, and they turned on a group of evil corporate criminals who had been experimenting on kids. And that's kind of where we left things.The book kicks off with the mini-series Cataclysm: Ultimate Comics Spiderman Issues One through Three, a tie in to the Cataclysm event in the Ultimate Universe, and Galactus is coming to town from actually the main Marvel Universe to go ahead and eat the ultimate earth, because after all its promise to not eat earth doesn't apply to all earths. The book mainly is about Miles doing what he can at street level, and as he senses the end of the world coming he…and this is the most interesting thing in the book – he goes to tell his dad who he is. He reveals his secret identity and his dad freaks out and spurns them, and then when Miles isn't looking his dad disappears and remains disappeared for quite a time. The book tie-in ends with Miles going off to perhaps see what he can do to help with the cataclysm which is resolved in another book. This isn't a horrible mini-series but it's slow and not a whole lot happens, though certainly Miles' dad leaving is a big deal. The book then continues with Ultimate Comics Spiderman 200 where they are having a celebration of Peter's life on the anniversary of his passing, and they go to Aunt May's house and they share their memories and their thoughts, and there are some beautiful art here. And while this book is about Miles, it's kind of appropriate – it gives you an idea of how he views his place as a successor to Peter Parker. And I think it's a nice memorial that sets the stage for Miles' new ongoing series, Miles Morales: The Ultimate Spiderman Issues One through S...
