Ultimate Comics Spider-Man #150 (Triple-Size Anniversary Special)

Not only is this officially the Ultimate Spider-Man 150th issue anniversary, but it is also the 10 year anniversary of the birth of the Ultimate Marvel universe!! Can you believe it?? We can't either! To celebrate, Eisner award-winning series writer Brian Michael Bendis has created this triple size extravaganza and gathered together a stellar lineup of amazing artists!! A reunion of the greatest artists of not only this historic book but of the the entire line of Ultimate Comics. Poor Peter Parker has made such a mess of his life as Spider-Man that the other super heroes are forced to gather together and decide once and for all what to do with the young wall crawler. Guest starring the New Ultimates, the Storm Siblings, Ben Grimm, Iceman, Kitty Pryde and a slew of surprise stars! Also includes reprinting of Ultimate Spider-Man Super Special #1 featuring an all-star artist line-up! 104 pages (54 pages of reprinted material) --

I suppose I should place a note here in anticipation of the question that inevitably arises: Why did Marvel jump from to ? Well, if you include the original run of 134 issues of (I never did get around to posting the complete first run) with (which altogether make 149 issues) then you'll have the current issue #150. I did post the notable and very important "silent issue" (click), and the links are still active. Apparently Marvel editors subscribe to the belief that “larger issue numbers are more impressive” and/or perhaps they are rather envious of the way DC flagship titles like and have remained continuous through the years; which is probably why they are combining issue counts from multiple volumes of several of their titles. Hence, titles of Captain America, Thor, and Hulk have reverted to their numbering from their respective original volume runs.
