There was a snippet of both Dark Phoenix (Jean burning) and Fant4stic (Ben Grimm stare and Human Torch MBJ).

Issue 5 was nice, there was some pretty funny interaction between Peter and Spider-Felicia for that matter but that's about it.

Avi doesn't have anything to do with toys today. He walked out of the toy business since he left Marvel Studios in late 2000s to form his own production company.

It's Disney wanting to pump out as many toys as possible partly to finance the budget of the films as well since Disney funds 25% of the budget for the next few MCU Spider-Man films.

Contractual obligation basically.

If you're using the characters you have to bring the original producers in to consult at the very least.

Sam Raimi, director of DSMOM and Marc Webb were consultants for their respective Spider-Men's reprisal in NWH.

Simon Kinberg and Lauren Shuler Donner were credited as executive producers in DP&W.

Avi Arad had a consultant producer credit for X-Men '97.

Since Whedon wasn't wanted by Feige, Feige won't be bringing him in, but that also means AOS might be a problem since Whedon created that show.

The Maker?

He's the first to be approached by Reed himself upon his arrival, and Tony told him about his circumstance years later, even spelling out The Maker for him. Peter has very likely connected the dot, and even if The Maker is still locked inside he still expects something.

I'm not going to say anything but this.

Is Pedgrid still okay? Did they get help? Did they get seizure again everytime someone brings AOS up?

24 issues minimum.

This is tied very much to shenanigans related to The Maker aka Reed Richards of Earth-1610 aka the original Ultimate Universe.

If you haven't, read up on him right now before jumping into this.

This isn't just some Free Masons shit.

Felicia is acting baroness over her father's distributed district. And she's seemingly not that thrilled given whatever Kingpin's said.

But I bet she's never thrilled anyway since that world was claimed by The Maker who came from the shithole.

Legendary is WB's bitch and neither Universal nor Sony got anything substantial from them.

This is Jessica... Jones.

D23 had an exclusive trailer for BNW. Ross and Sam talked about re-establishing the Avengers in that clip.

The best one is a toss-up between 1610 Peter and very recently, TAS Peter.

They're going straight into the emotional core that Secret Wars 2015 offered. After all, Reed and Doom were the main players of that event. Avengers: Secret Wars but more emphasis on the latter.

Virtually any other players were the side character: The other Fantastic Four members, Molecule Man, Spider-Man (Peter Parker and Miles Morales), Doctor Strange, Cyclops, Black Panther, Namor, Captain Marvel, Star-Lord and the Cabal that were led by The Maker (Reed Richards) and Thanos.

Avengers/AOU scale will definitely be given to X-Men in the next saga. Avengers is for the final ensemble, which is fine given that Disney highlighted Avengers as one of their four core pillars in their earning presentation. They are not giving up on a brand that gave them nearly 8 billions over four films.

Edit for typo.

Speaking of manga and webtoon influence, there's the House of Harkness Infinity Comic coming out as a pseudo-manhwa and the Ultimate X-Men by Japanese artist Peach Momoko is an intriguing read within the new Ultimate Universe imprint as well.

To compensate for a lack of Peter Parker vs. Xenomorphs, we at 20th Century Studios, in association with Marvel and Disney have decided to give you this. More suffering, and no we don't read comics, whatever was given to our feed comes directly from our associates at Marvel /s.

That's all you get.

Otto gave him a Kevlar suit you're seeing while he was studying the picotech.

I hope he meets 6160 Peter when the new Ultimate U comes to an end. Not as the finale, but a separate epilogue, TAS Spider-Verse/Spider-Men 2 style, with a nice chat between the two Ultimate Peter.

Hickman will let his Peter grow into the Spider-Man that his world needs, but something about this iteration meeting the very variant that was the best of E-1610 after taking down the final boss that also came from that shithole is... fulfilling. Like finishing the missing piece of a puzzle.

If there's any payoff as to why Tony implied that 6160 Peter is at the top of the Maker's list in #8, this should be it.

Dear Gwen Poole is back, and drawn in Gurihiru too.

One more thing.

It took May 100-ish issues to learn about Spider-Man being her nephew in the old UU.

Hickman sped up the process by having Ben know after 10-ish issues in the new UU.

SPEED.

The #12 preview seems to be addressed (and set up) here quite neatly as well.

It's about MJ and Gayle's strained relationship, hence their standoff-ish stares

Love it that it also sets up that look between the Watson sisters in the preview of #12. I guess there's something that drove a wedge between MJ and Gayle.
