Marvel Announces Death of Spider-Man By Bendis & Millar
Groundbreaking New Storyline Hits the Ultimate Comics Universe in
February
Marvel is proud to announce Death of Spider-Man, the groundbreaking new
story that forever changes the Ultimate Comics universe from superstar
writers Brian Michael Bendis and Mark Millar. Kicking off with a prelude
in Ultimate Spider-Man #153 and going into high-gear with Ultimate
Avengers vs New Ultimates #1, this is the story that no comic fan can
afford to miss when it all begins in February 2011 because, in the
Ultimate Universe, There Are No Rules.
"As a group and as individuals we have made a conscious effort to create
stories this year that no one has ever seen before," said Bendis. "I am
very, very proud to be a part of this storyline and very proud of Marvel
for even attempting such a bold endeavor. Sit back and watch as we
unveil a storyline unlike any other!!"
The most successful new imprint of the century, Ultimate Comics has
continually pushed the limits of super hero comics and raised the bar
for comic book storytelling, with Ultimate Spider-Man Vol.1 selling well
over one million copies.
Millar added, "This is the biggest, boldest thing we've attempted in the
ten years since we kicked this line off. This is the one thing that
could be bigger than the CREATION of the Ultimate line and it's great to
be a part of it. Being part of something like this is a once in a
lifetime opportunity and soon you'll all get to read the story we've
written for you, This should be up there with the very small number of
events that really mattered. This is going to be big."
This February, Death of Spider-Man marks the most ambitious Ultimate
Comics story yet...and one that no fan will ever forget!
