Bendis talks “SPIDER-MEN”

Starting next month we will see the first crossover between the 616 universe and the Ultimate Universe. Peter Parker will come face to face with Miles Morales in what looks to be a major storyline. A story that will have an effect on both universes as well as many of the characters within these universes…

Bendis has stated that “Ultimate Aunt May and Ultimate Mary Jane and Gwen Stacy and Nick Fury are all involved in the story as well, so there are lot of extremely emotional moments that are going to happen that are almost surreal, but I think very cathartic. I think issue #4 was when Sara emailed me and said, “Alright, I cried. You got me.”

“Nick Fury had a lot going on with Ultimate Peter, and his connection to Miles, and what the right thing to do here is,” he adds. “Every one of these characters has deep, emotional investment into the Spider-Man mythos, some of them suffering quite a lot, and there may be room here for some catharsis that lets them move forward in a positive way. What is it like for a character like Gwen Stacy to find out there’s another universe out there with another Gwen Stacy?” If you haven’t read or heard by now…this crossover is caused by the fan favorite vix.llain…Mysterio “You will find out all of what’s going on with Mysterio, and how this is connected to the Ultimate Universe, in the very first issue. We give that up right away, because there’s so much else to get to. You will see what Mysterio has done and how he’s done it, and for long-time readers, they’ll be very excited; if you don’t know a damn thing about Mysterio, you’ll know exactly what’s going on.”

I’m pretty excited to read this one myself and if you want to check out the full interview…click the link below.
