Ultimate Spider-Man Incursion #1 (2025)

Can a new reader walk in cold to this?

That's the big question for an event title. Does this qualify as an event title? You don't get to ask that now, I've already asked the question we're going to ask.


Basically, yes.

There's potentially one or four gaps that would make some knowledge of the Ultimate universe useful. One is kind of a big one if you read 'Ultimates' proper. I don't think there's an iota of confusion if you're going into Miles' world cold.


Deniz Camp (Ultimates, Absolute Martian Manhunters, Assorted Crisis Events, hey those books all rule, hmmm...) and Jonas Scharf (uh, Thundercats? He was little guy like a house cat, right? Kept saying his name over and over like a smurf?) certainly give you a book worth reading. Cheeseburger flashbacks, glowing babies, every cabal in the U.U., and a jealous Peter Parker, all in service of a story that's fun and basically clear enough, even for the uninitiated.
