I know that the iFanboys didn't think much of this series, but for me it was just about perfect. It was all about the quiet moments that comics so often gloss over, as the people in the Ultimate universe reacted to Peter's death. It was quiet, true to the characters are often beautiful. And I needed it, because I haven't read an Ultimate title in five or six years. I had no idea what happened to Reed Richards. I didn't know that Peter and Kitty had dated. In the end, I didn't need to see the big event battles. The reaction shots were more powerful for me than yet another four color punch to the face. This issue, in particular, was satisfying because it was Peter's happy ending. Once that spider bit him, Peter was pretty much destined to die in battle, as all super-heroes are. If you throw down with the Rhino enough times, he's bound to get lucky once, after all. So the only happy ending that Peter was ever going to have was this: May and Gwen carry on, safe from harm. No Goblins. No Hulks. No Venoms. Just this: "And the people he loved lived happily ever after." This was the ending he deserved, and with this as the coda, I'm looking forward to following the new Ultimate line, to see where it goes from here. There are still lots of things I don't know: where is Ben Grimm? Why are mutants all outlaws? Is Ultimate Captain America still a dick? I assume that these questions will be answered, but for know this series did what it set out to do: it reacquainted an old reader with the Ultimate universe, and it provided a moving depiction of the Fallout.
