Featured here is a chronological list of story arcs in the comic book series Ultimate Spider-Man , created by Brian Michael Bendis and Bill Jemas, and drawn by Mark Bagley until Stuart Immonen replaced him. Ultimate Spider-Man is a teenage drama, in background contrast to the adult Spider-Man in the Marvel continuity. [1]
Note: The arc would later receive a non-canon continuation in the 2005 Ultimate Spider-Man game.
Note: The timing of the comic coincided with the release of Spider-Man 2 . Producer Avi Arad, director Sam Raimi and actor Tobey Maguire all make cameo appearances. Mysterio makes a cameo appearance as a 'villain' in the film, but he looks like the Earth-616 version of Mysterio and has no relationship to the Ultimate version of Mysterio.
vNotes: This arc is partly based on the Ultimate Spider-Man video game, loosely adapting it into Ultimate Universe canon. It changes or shortens much of the game over the course of several flashbacks, eventually leading up to the present day.
The mini-series, Ultimatum: Spider-Man Requiem #1–2 written by Bendis and art by Bagley and Immonen, would explore the lives of supporting cast of the Ultimate Spider-Man after the crisis of Ultimatum as how are they are living their lives without the webslinger, such as J. Jonah Jameson's eulogy to the apparent fallen hero and Peter Parker's loved ones' grief over his disappearance. In Manhattan, the military and the surviving Ultimates searches for survivors of Magneto's attack, and Captain America finds the unconscious Peter Parker within the ruins of the city, revealed to be still alive. The story serves as a bridge between Ultimate Spider-Man and Ultimate Spider-Man vol. 2. [6]
