Yep

there was so much going on (in a good way) that you barely had time to process it as well. Absolutely fantastic stuff. Darkseid War might, might, give Secret Wars a run for it's money. So glad they're letting Johns have his space to just do the event his way, not be forced to tie it in like previous events (from both companies) that suffer because of that.

The original Peter Parker series was better than the Miles one has been so far. USM was one of the greatest Spidey runs ever.

I really didn't like the Miles USM, but Grin you should read from the beginning, it really is one of the best comic runs I have read.

[GrinWithoutaKat]

Okay, I'm convinced

[Christopher]

Okay, I'm convinced

Do you have Marvel Unlimited? A few issues don't work (for me at least) issues 43 and 44 just would not load.

I do! I've had problems loading a few issues for things before too.

Plus one for reading the whole run. I'm not as big on it as most people in here but even I know it's a superb comic book.

If only they hadn't strawberry floated up the Ultimates universe so much with Leob, that universe was so good until until he pissed in the water.

Bendis is on Iron Man after Secret Wars http://www.usatoday.com/story/life/2015 ... 0ag8y00dth

It's still Tony Stark.

I think it's Ultimate Stark though.....who is better than 616 Stark

[Mafro]

Bendis on Iron Man seems like such an obvious choice, his solo work is always really good so I'll definitely be giving it a try. Wasn't really a fan at all of what I read of Gillen's run.

[Cheeky Devlin]

Okay, I'm convinced

Good choice. Ultimate Spider-Man is really good.

Here's the reading order that I used when I last read through it all. This takes you from the very first USM issue, right up to the last one before Secret Wars.

I've tried to break up the list a bit, mostly whenever one of the three main events cuts in and I've included Non-Spider-Man books.

Peter Parker - The Ultimate Spider-Man
The Marvel Team-Up issues aren't by any means essential, but they do detail his first encounters with a lot of characters that later on turn up in the main book. As such I would recommend reading them, just so you have some idea of their relationships with him. I would also recommend reading the annuals as well. Certain things in the main book don't make sense if you skip them. Suddenly dating Kitty Pryde being a big one.
USM (Ultimate Spider-Man) 1-13
UMTU (Ultimate Marvel Team-Up) 1-8
USM 14-21
UMTU 9-16
USM 22-27
USM Super Special 1
USM 28-46
Ultimate Six 1-7 (This is USM in everything but name. Essential reading)
USM 47-85
USM Annual 1
USM 86-105
USM Annual 2
USM 106-120
USM Annual 3
USM 121-129

Ultimatum
Ultimatum is generally considered to be a bit shite. And with good reason. However it does have a few things in it that change the universe, so I would grit my teeth and hammer through it.
Ultimatum 1
USM 130
Ultimatum 2
USM 131
Ultimatum 3
USM 132
Ultimatum 4
USM 133
Ultimatum 5
Ultimatum: Spider-Man Requiem 1-2

USM (Volume 2 - Issue numbers reset to 1) 1-15

USM (Volume 2 continues, but reverts back to original numbering for 150th issue) 150-160
Ultimate Fallout 1-6 (These, plus USM 150-160 are probably my favourite run of issues in USM. Utterly essential)

UCSM (Ultimate Comics Spider-Man) 1-12
Spider-Men 1-5

Divided We Fall/United We Stand
I've included all the X-Men and Ultimates issues for this event as well, because UCSM doesn't really explain what's going on very well. The upside being that it's not a huge event and I enjoyed it.
UCX (Ultimate Comics X-Men) 14
UCU (Ultimate Comics Ultimates) 13
UCU 14
UCSM 13
UCSM 14
UCX 15
UCU 15
UCSM 15
UCSM 16
UCU 16
UCX 16
UCX 17
UCSM 17
UCU 17
UCU 18
UCX 18
UCX 18.1
UCSM 18
UCU 18.1

UCSM 16.1 (Fits better after DWF/UWS)
UCSM 19-28

Cataclysm
Again, it's not a massive event, but it changes the world. Hence I've included the X-Men and Ultimates Issues as well.
Cataclysm 0.1
Cataclysm: Ultimate Spider-Man 1
Cataclysm: Ultimate X-Men 1-3
Cataclysm: The Ultimate's Last Stand 1
Cataclysm: The Ultimates 1
Cataclysm: The Ultimate's Last Stand 2
Cataclysm: The Ultimates 2-3
Cataclysm: Ultimate Spider-Man 2-3
Cataclysm: The Ultimate's Last Stand 3-5

Ultimate Comics: Spider-Man 200

Miles Morales: Ultimate Spider-Man 1-12

Latest rumour on new Hulk is Amadeus Cho apparently. Doesn't "hulk" out but has Hulk strength.

Also how bad was Renew Your Vows? Reaction on gaf was hilarious and predictable.
