Ultimate Spider-Man #133 (Ongoing)

is an ongoing superhero comic book series published by Marvel Comics beginning October 2000. It is a modernized re-imagining of Marvel's long-running Spider-Man comic book franchise as part of its Ultimate Marvel imprint. Ultimate Spider-Man exists alongside other revamped Marvel characters in Ultimate Marvel titles including , , and , and it was the first series to be published in the Ultimate Marvel line. It came about when then publisher Bill Jemas wanted to reinvent the Marvel Universe because he felt that, with over 40 years of back-story, it had become inaccessible to new readers, and he wanted to start with Spider-Man. Issue #133 is the conclusion to the 5-part storyline tie-in, notable for being a "silent" issue; i.e., completely without dialogue or even sound effects. Also includes the February 2009 bookslut.com interview of Ultimate Spider-Man writer Brian Michael Bendis by Paul Morton.
Veteran Spider-Man artist Mark Bagley and writer Brian Michael Bendis, who expanded the original 11-page origin story into a 180-page, seven issue story arc collaborated together from issue #1-#111, which set the record for longest continual run on a Marvel Comics series by two people, an honor previously held by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby on Fantastic Four. The storyline is a multi-issue crossover among Ultimate Marvel titles that seems destined to follow this rather sorry, confusing and ultimately (no pun intended) disconcerting trend among comic book publishers to introduce major, sometimes permanent upheavals in their existing superhero universes, that, in the case of the Marvel's Ultimatum storyline, literally comes in the form of a gigantic tsunami.

The end of an era? The last issue of Ultimate Spider-Man? Peter Parker is Spider-Man no more? Is Spider-Man dead and gone in the events of Ultimatum? This final issue will leave you jaw-on-the-floor shocked at the turn of every page! Written by Brian Michael Bendis, art and cover by Stuart Immonen. --
