Ultimate Spiderman to be dead in the comics. To non readers, this ultimate name means it is an alternate universe where the Spiderman we all know is not affected. They are different people in different worlds. However to comics readers, especially to those non-ultimate or even non-Marvel readers, it is a confusion. Also to top it up, the "death" tactic is being used again. Everyone knows death is never permanent in comics. Comics writers had done it on the big names, Superman, Wonder Woman, Flash, Green Lantern, Aquaman, Captain America, Punisher..... Even minor characters died multiple times throughout years that I have lost interest in wanting to know how they got back being alive. The writer here says that any death in Ultimate universe is permanent. So far, the most permanent death for a character is Uncle Ben. The other longest death I have seen would be Barry Allen, the flash who died during the Crisis issues. He does made occasional cameo, which doesn't count since he remains dead in the main universe. After some twenty years he is back! I am sure Wally West is doing fine as the Flash and I am also happy to see Barry back as the Flash but the point here is likely to be sales. Barry's rebirth sure increase sales. So how long will Ultimate spiderman remains as dead just does not seem to matter. People just kind of feel they have lost the creativity in making stories other than to kill off characters regardless of universe. Death in superheroes comics are overused!
