Wanted to reiterate an old point, but Bendis and everyone else in general likely kept low-key about it because it would have been counter-intuitive and counterproductive to dwell on the Ultimate Universe immediately after bringing Miles and them over to this one.
They should be, quite frankly. Too lucrative a story point to drop.
That said, not sure I can recall seeing them post-Secret Empire.
Agreed. I know it's cool to dislike Spider-Men II, directly or passive-aggressively, but I enjoyed it myself. And my favorite parts were how the relationship and genuine friendship 616 Miles and Wilson Fisk shared really humanized 616 Miles. It was side I'm not used to seeing in Kingpin, for one, and I loved it. It did its job of providing a humanizing perspective to 616, and was quite wholesome in its own way, in spite of the circumstances.
I know it's also cool to passive-aggressively hate on Bendis's writing style, but it actually really help make the Miles/Wilson friendship as genuine as it was.
I disagree with the latter, as the point was to find out and explore just who the original 616 version of Miles was. And they did. And it was meaningful because he was the primary focus.
Would you mind elaborating for a bit? Haven't followed House of X (or many comics lately...), but I miss Goldballs and am curious.
This is what I get for being absent for a month. I knew Miles had his, uh... Carnage, thing, form. But what's this about potentially wearing the Riot Symbiote?
I don't blame him for not wanting to bog the series down in continuity though not addressing it potentially caused more problems then it solved, especially when he actually did address Ultimate Universe stuff.
Maybe it didn't do it for me, personally, because it just felt "been there, done that" with Fisk by that point. Esepcially when the likelihood of it being relevant past that mini didn't seem likely (obviously that's different now, but in hindsight).Agreed.

I guess the question was whether focusing on him instead of giving the actual Spider-Men a relevant arc was necessary or had a point (beyond bringing back the Ultimate Universe).I disagree with the latter, as the point was to find out and explore just who the original 616 version of Miles was.

Spider-Verse was a lot of fun, the art was great and the premise looks interesting. I loved the looks of all the different spiders and I'm looking forward to seeing more of them.
Spider-verse was fun read. Not particularly ground breaking but fun. Spider-zero has interesting design. I thought about it during the preview.

Is it possible she's an AU version of Miles? Would explain why she chose him
Gotta wonder if they are maybe slowly edging Peter out of the whole Spider-Verse wackiness and making it a Miles thing now.
I think they've been doing that for a while now. Lead in Spidergeddon, Into to the Spider-Verse, the mini.
Frankly, it makes sense. Miles started as an AU Spider-Man and Peter's never really fit in with those stories. He wasn't even supposed to be in the original Spider-Verse, it was designed as a SpOck story.
I was thinking the same thing, guess we won't know until we learn her name.
It makes sense Spder-Verse, Spider-Geddon, Spider-Men/Spider-Men II, Secret Wars, the Spider-Gwen crossover, and now the movie multiverse stuff has been a part of Miles stories almost since the beginning.
Champions #10 was a pretty neat send-off for the series even though it was abruptly cancelled. It actually tied up the loose ends with Blackheart from Bendis' run.
Miles and Kamala also had a cameo in Marvel #1001. Apparently at some point when they were on the Avengers (or maybe the early Champions days) they had a prank war. lol
