Contrasted to the rather rotten ASM #700, which as you say, was little more than an advertisement for Superior, with a conclusion that felt forgone, and there's really no comparison.
I have never read Ultimate, but it may be a nice alternative to today's books. And I love me some Mark Bagley Spider-man. What are you going to read from here? I can say that I did read the first 9 or so issues of Miles Morales before losing interest. It was pretty well done, Pichelli's artwork is great, and it builds off of the death of Peter, etc. I just don't care about the Ultimate universe, it's too much like the regular one with, as you say, little conveniences and differences. Also, I don't know if you ever read Spider-men, but you may be interested to see how the 616 Peter reacts to being plopped into the Ultimate universe.
