    This Week's Stack

    • Ultimate Fallout #4 
  • Ultimate Comics Spider-Man #1-12 

    • 2 Minute Recap and Discussion Topics

    Ultimate Fallout #4 

    • Not really much to this story – it was the second story in the book.
  • Much needed context to whom this is and how he got spider powers – comes during Ultimate Comics Spider-Man. 
  • Everyone seems to assume it’s the same Spider-Man as before – despite new reports the original Spider-Man has died. 
  • The Kangaroo and onlookers keep saying the costume is in poor taste. 

    • Ultimate Comics Spider-Man #1-12

    • Start of the book deals not only with Miles, but with the fallout from Peter’s death to his friends and family 
  • Gwen gives him his calling – with great power comes great responsibility 
  • Book title changed between #3 and #4.  Odd, but not unprecedented. 
  • His uncle (Aaron Davis) is not a great criminal
  • But he does immediately know that Miles is the one in the mask 
  • Miles is a good kid- through and through

    • Final Thoughts

    What's Next 

    • Across the Spider-Verse (2023)
