Sure I could, but even I thought it was in bad taste. There's enough stuff like this on the evening news.

That was announced a year ago, right?
Explains the guest appearance probably a set up of them working together and Bendis to play around with the characters
People bought it when the controversy happened. Speculators buy it because the value go up once a fever pitch happened.
Almost like it was done on purpose. Almost.

I read the first issue out of curiosity. It was... something. There was an uproar about the first issue as well due to a scene with violence against a transgender character.
Is the "renew your vows" event included in the Ultimate Spider-Man (2000-2009) series?
I'm 6 issues in and it's pretty good. Surprised at how the start have been altered, and I'm even more surprised at how Miles Morales' sort starts with the exact same speech by Norman Osborn. How come Norman delivers the same speech to his employee 9 years after the first issue of Ultimate Spider-Man. Also, Miles can make himself invincible? That seems like such an overpowered thing to be able to do.
And talking about Peter Parker's Spider-Man, him and his first encounter with the Green Goblim was frightening. I don't like the redesign they've done on him, as he is this huge muscular monster. Anyway, can't wait to see more of the classic villains, and hopefully new villains I didn't know about before.
Also, Ganke is pretty cool.

Renew Your Vows is something completely different.
Ultimate Spider-Man takes place in a separate universe. it's not a what if story, but those aren't the versions of the characters you see in the main line of books.

As far as I'm aware, Ultimate Spiderman (Morales) is now a part of the main universe. Hurray for popularity! He's in CW2 and the Secret Empire event too so definitely not an alternative story.
So let's say I am reading Ultimate Spider-Man and All New Spider-Man and Peter Parker
gets shot and does
Secret Wars caused the end of the ultimate universe. Miles was one of the few things merged into the regular universe as he is awesome.
Miles is hilariously OP.
It was all that burgers doing.
In 2015 Miles was brought over the main universe and has a book called "Spider-Man". All of the Ultimate Spider-Man books take place in the Ultimate universe.

He said thank you at least.
I know this. But is Peter Parker in Civil War 2 or any later event? How does that explain him being
murdered
I'm not so used to comics and how they work, and I'm just trying to figure my head around it heh.
Peter from the main universe is a separate character from the one in the Ultimate universe. Anything that happens to Ultimate Peter has no effect on regular Peter. Just look at them as different people who are extremely similar.

That chaykin lynching cover looks exactly like some run-of-the-mill avatar press cover.
To be fair, that ending is gold
still is, obv, since he apparently didnt try to apologize to the chap.

Initially, the point of the Ultimate Universe was for it to be a blank slate to draw in new readers, since it wouldn't require them to study up on chronology before jumping in.

And now it's just way worse for people who want to read Spiderman starting today because of it.

The ultimate universe got pretty bad with this pretty early in its run, all of the good things about the universe were grafted onto the 616 around the same time as Civil War.
Judging it after a part of it just doesn't work with Planetary. It's meant to be read as one story. It's not really told in "arcs". This is why I think the omnibus is the best way to read it.
I love the story told, the pacing, the varied and unique "one-shots" the tie into the overarching story in one way or another, the no-nonsense attitude of the main characters, the crazy concepts, etc. Plus, the art is simply incredible and it has tons of lovely homages to popular entertainment.

I just read Redneck 1 and 2. I enjoyed it, but what is it that people love so much about it? I look forward to reading more, but I must say that I do not like how the faces look. Does that bother anyone else? It doesn't seem like particularly good art in many of the frames when faces are shown clearly.
I'll let him know. Thanks. I look forward to reading it, but I'll likely wait till we own more.

Marvel has never really been masters of forethought. But hey, they tried something new and it didn't pan out.
It's a slow build. Trust me, it gets there.

Keep reading. It goes places. Trust me on this as someone who reads the series once a year.
Does Miles have a reaction to Peter being alive all of a sudden now that he has been used to him being dead?
No, since due Secret Wars, he was always in the Main Universe.
Also, he meet the adult Peter way before in his own universe.
Its better you read it all by yourself, its a better understandable then.
They met prior to Miles coming to regular universe in a miniseries called "Spider-Men". A sequel is starting up in two weeks that will further explore the subject.
Bendis said this isn't the case.
Then he should start writing his book better. And not writing it like this is indeed the case.
Miles is keeping quiet about it for whatever reason. Given the plot of Spider-Men II it will have to be talked about.
