The post 1995 Pt. 1: Skrull Kill Krew & Untold Tales of Spider-Man appeared first on Comic Book Herald.

Hello and welcome to Comic Book Herald’s Hickmania, a series running through 2022 where we’ll be reading and analyzing the creator-owned works of writer Jonathan Hickman, from his debut The Nightly News through to his most recent output. We’ll be reading one creator-owned work a month through 2022, and each month I’ll release a new analysis with a new guest discussing the comic!

Today we’re talking Hickman’s Ultimates and Ultimate Hawkeye and I’m joined by Charlotte Fierro & Zack “The Snack” from My Ultimate Year. We’ll analyze the work in depth, so expect spoilers!

Previously: Past episodes of Hickmania

Hickmania on Youtube

Topics today include:

Hickman on EW, circa Secret Wars: “I think that Ultimate stuff that Esad and I did is one of the best things I’ve done at Marvel. It was unquestionably a failure, but it wasn’t because the book wasn’t good, it was because it was the same time the New 52 came out. .. It got completely crushed under a wave of product. That was a bummer, because the one book that I wanted to do when I started at Marvel was the Ultimates, and do it in a way where I’m basically building in the Ultimate universe…you’re not constrained by continuity in the same way that you are when you’ve got 60 other books coming out in the regular Marvel line. I desperately wanted that book to succeed. I would’ve done that book for years.”

Ultimate Comics Ultimates is:

Writer: Jonathan Hickman

Artist: Esad Ribic, Brandon Peterson, Rafa Sandoval

Colors: Dean White, Brad Anderson

Letters: Clayton Cowles

Publisher: Marvel
