I was thinking about the new Ultimate Spider-Man in the context of adaptations and it gets to something unusual and meta about it.
With the MCU films, one way to look at is that it was a trilogy that ended with Peter Parker as the familiar version of Spider-Man. It took a while to get him to a familiar stage and the films consistently explored that (IE- they intentionally chose not to use scenes of Spider-Man swinging through Manhattan because it was done so much in earlier films; this way it was meaningful when Spider-Man came back to New York and took MJ for a swing.)
The big difference with Ultimate Spider-Man is that some of the characters are aware that Peter Parker is supposed to be Spider-Man, and there's a narrative reason to push him along. (It's also worth noting the MCU Peter Parker put on the classic costume after meeting other versions of himself.)

Gotta have it
I am [I]very[/I] interested in seeing how Mary Jane's PR job is going to factor more into the story as we progress, especially after the Ultimates preview in the FCBD issue.
[spoil]So it turns out that in Earth-6160, Damage Control (aka the company that MJ mentioned has her on retainer in USM #4) is actually a front for the Maker that holds numerous warehouses all over the globe that secretly act as mass graveyards for superheroes.[/spoil]
One would think that connection with MJ is going to pay off in due time over in USM, right?

depends on how big Spider-Man will play a role in the universe will he in the frontlines with the Ultimates or will he stuck doing friendly neighborhood stuff.
[QUOTE=Hurricane Billy;6807912]One would think that connection with MJ is going to pay off in due time over in USM, right?[/QUOTE]The solicits say she's holding her own in a couple of issues time. It could mean anything but the only things that are seeded so far are that she reacts to Peter being Spider-man, she does something with Harry and Gwen, or she acts on Damage Control. (I suppose she could be asked to run PR for Fisk or the Bugle.)

Third printing for USM 3. (Did we know about this before?)
News to me!
There's not a book out there that deserves it more.

Checchetto is such a phenomenal talent. His take on the suits all look jaw-dropping.

Nice I’m glad the series is doing well. But did it break the 100,000 Barrier ?
They may as well just give him form changes at this point.
Have we got a cover with the PS4/5 Spidey suit yet?

Like Heisei- and Reiwa-era Kamen Rider? Yes, that would be incredible.
