Ever since the death of Ultimate Spider-man hit the news a few years back I've been hooked on all things it (I only read Amazing Spiderman till then). Big fan of the Miles Morales stories, once his first arc was complete I went back and read all the previous issues of Ultimate Spiderman. Since issue 200 when Peter Parker was revealed alive I wondered how Brian Bendis would explain this. I'm still not sure its really him or not but I don't think so for several reasons. One Peters heart gave out in the conclusion of Death of Spiderman (I went back reread it and saw no evidence he could survive), Two we know Miles is still going to be Ultimate Spiderman as his current tale in All New X men (another Bendis great) has him swinging with the web shooters Peter took back, three there are two mystery men working to for someone to steal stuff dressed as Spiderman (they mentioned it may be Peters alive due to them and broke into a room saying evidence two super power division), and last this "Peter" doesn't seem to be the Peter Parker I remember from the issues of Ultimate Spiderman. Unlike the 616 (who crossed over in Spider-Men) he was rude, openly insulted, showed no gratitude for what Miles had done for him and his loved ones, and once Miles asked for an explanation knocked him out. In preparation for MM:US #6 next week I went back and reread issue #5 and saw something that's a big Spiderman No. When the two of them are surrounded by cops Peter tells him they need to run (he's the only with webshooters) yells "good luck" and takes off. In the second panel he sees Miles fall from a gunshot and doesn't do anything but continues to MJ's house and leaves him. I don't think any Spiderman Peter Parker, 2099, Noir, or any other universe would ever do that (except maybe Superior). As always I'm going to have to wait for the arc conclusion issue to see if I'm right. But I really don't think this is Ultimate Spiderman Peter Parker.

Does anybody out there have any thoughts on this?

PS: Ultimate FF was one of three new UM Now new series after Cataclysm that's coming to paperback soon having only lasted six issues. Has anyone heard of any new Ultimate Marvel news beyond Miles and All New Ultimate's?
