Well apparently it’s this kid. Who thinks it was bad taste to make a clone Spidy suit. Read Ultimate Fallout for full story. And no he’s not black. He’s half African American and half Hispanic. Nice touch Marvel.

Marvel comics has been pushing the forthcoming storyline, The Death of Spider-Man. Apparently Peter Parker of the Ultimate Universe really is going to bite the dust. Hey it’s not the really Parker, right!?!??! Well our old Ultimate Spidy will be replaced with a new character who apparently will become the NEW ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN. From the looks of the outfit Marvel has blended designs from the new Amazing Spider-Man film and Alex Ross’s designs for the original Spider-Man film. Very Nice.

The Death of Spider-Man story will conclude in June’s polybagged Ultimate Spider-Man #160.

Well as a first look at the new animated Spidy, I have to say this is not what was looking forward to. Although I was a big fan of the Spectacular Spider-Man that aired on the CW. I really wonder what Marvel is planing to do with this. The guys on Spectacular really seemed to have it together. Let’s see if these guys have what it takes to bring Spidy to the top of animation again.

I figured since people have been encroaching on my DC territory, I could break my fanboy status just once to drop this juicy tidbit while it’s still steaming and hot out of the oven.  Mmmmm.  Smells good.  Speaking of comic Allegiance; i wonder how it’s gonna be for Paul Dini (who worked on the Batman, Superman, and Justice League animated series, as well as currently writing for DC comics) to play a big part in the beginning of a Marvel series.  Under the sway of the enemy…(chuckles) just kidding!  But seriously, dude, you better not leave us!  This is what Marvel announced…

In a coup for Marvel Entertainment, Jeph Loeb, Head of Marvel TV, revealed the all-star, award-winning creative team for the upcoming Ultimate Spider-Man animated series, premiering on Disney XD. This team includes the most sought-after and acclaimed writers in the comic and television industries, including Eisner & Emmy award-winning scribe Paul Dini (Batman: The Animated Series, Lost); Eisner award-winning writer Brian Michael Bendis (visionary behind Marvel’s Ultimate Spider-Man comic series); and the red-hot creative powerhouse Man of Action Studios (creators of hit series Ben 10 and Generator Rex), comprised of lauded creators Joe Casey, Joe Kelly, Duncan Rouleau and Steven T. Seagle .

Steering Ultimate Spider-Man as the Creative Consultant, Dini will also write the series pilot; as Supervising Producers, Man of Action Studios will direct the writing staff, generate scripts and story edit; and Bendis, the man who reinvented Spider-Man for a new generation, will oversee the series as Consulting Producer.

“When we first sat down to discuss ‘Ultimate Spider-Man,’ we put together a wish list of the most exciting talent working in animation who would bring the best voice and creative direction to the show – and I’m proud to say we got them all,” said Jeph Loeb. “We want ‘Ultimate Spider-Man’ to be a showcase for Marvel Animation and Spider-Man is the perfect character to give fans just what they want.”

Working in the Marvel Universe for the first time, Dini explained, “As a lifelong fan of the Marvel Universe, I’m excited to tackle these characters in such a bold new series. ‘Ultimate Spider-Man’ will bring fans a new take on their favorite friendly neighborhood hero- and some surprise cast members– while staying true to what’s always made Spidey so popular. We’ve got a superb creative team assembled with amazing stories to tell and I can’t wait for fans to see what we’ve cooked up.”

Bendis echoed those sentiments, exclaiming, “It’s ‘Ultimate Spider-Man,’ the animated series-and it happened in my lifetime! That’s just so cool. I couldn’t be more excited to be a part of this and here’s to Jeph Loeb for putting it all together!”

Equally thrilled to join “Ultimate Spider-Man,” the Man of Action team explained, “We’re looking forward to having a lot of fun working on Spider-Man. They’ve brought us in to help provide a unique vision for the show while remaining absolutely true to the character, so that’s exactly what we’ll be doing. Should be a great ride!”

Cort Lane, Vice-President of Animation Production & Development added, “From ‘The Super Hero Squad Show’ to the upcoming ‘Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes,’ Marvel Animation is focused on making the best super hero shows for fans of all ages. Now, with this tremendous talent signed for Ultimate Spider-Man, we’re about to give fans super-powered animation like they’ve never seen before.”
