Ultimate Spider-Man #63... Spoilers

[Goodwill]

Looks like the hand is actually Gwen's. It's official, she bit the dust, guys. She was lost at the hands of the genetic soup that consists of Peter's DNA, Conner's DNA, and a little bit of the ingrediants used to make the Suit... Carnage is turning about to be a great villain.

Conners and Peter's relationship is turning out to be what I had expected. Hate and hostility towards Conners after his wrecklessness... Conner's seems to be a real screw up. I'm glad Peter and his blind rage took care of him.

Also, with the cliffhanger we were given, I wonder if the Lizard will make his first appearance in Ultimate Spider-Man aside from dreams and flashbacks.

 

[Blacksword]

Good issue, Bendis once again gets the details just right from the Detective's questions to everyone's reactions. And that last page shot is beautiful.

 

[Goodwill]

Yeah, I totally agree... I would just like to see what Carnage is going to do when he and Peter meet... Since Carnage isn't totally Peter he shouldn't feel too bad about meeting his better half, though, he's going to meet his father, too... He may take this real personally!

 

[Goodwill]

Did anyone else pick up on the allusion to Ultimate X-Men #41? A man was talking to Jean DeWolffe about a town that was plagued by a mutant who turned them into mummies. DeWolffe claimed that it was a virus. I thought that it was a nice little tie-in to the Ultimate X-Men title. Subtle, yes, but good.

 

[E]

Great issue. I will be very interested to see Carnage's reaction to Peter...we already pretty much know what Peter's will be to Carnage. I could see some confusion on Carnage's part, since he sees himself as Peter, or a plea for help.

 

[Ice]

UltimateE, I agree with you 100%.

 

[Dark_Images]

Never thought of that.

 

[Ice]

Thought of what exactly Dark Images?

 

[Goodwill]

I think that Carnage thinks of himself as a cross between Conners and Peter. If you'll notice, Carnage briefly took the form of the Lizard after he killed that couple in Manhattan and he turned into Peter for a short period of time during Gwen's death... It should be interesting to see Carnage's reaction to his creators.

I would like to know what happened to Ben Reilly, too.

 

[Dark_Images]

I never thought about Carnage's reaction to Peter, since he is his clone.

 

[jtg3885]

Do we see Gwen-Carnage again? I liked that shot at the end of #62.

 

[Ice]

I doubt that hes dead.

 

[Goodwill]

Conners hasn't even been attacked yet and Ben Reilly was arrested, I just wanna see what he does next!

Also, Gwen was seen in one small panel in #63... The panel shows her mummified face.

 

[Ice]

Hey, I didnt notice that. Damn! Got to check for that now. Hey Goodwill, you seem to have an eye for seeing small things like that.

... It was actually pretty simple to see!

 

[Ice]

Yeah, but sometimes I just miss the simplest things.

[Ultxon]

What did everyone think of peters lack of eyes half way through the book? What did it symbolize? Did it represent emptyness? or what?
Maybe I'm just looking at the comic to closely as opposed to "can't find a coprse's head" ice above me.

 

[Goodwill]

Pay close attention because Bendis often trusts his artist, Bagley, to tell the story, too. There wasn't any verbal communication about him going to jail, however, Conners is seen shocked at the entrance to ESU when he sees Reilly with his hands behind his back in shackles.

 

[Ultxon]

That's why I love Bagley, he dosen't need words to tell a truly tragic seen.

 

[Ice]

Look Ultxon, I read hat issue in a hurry, 'cuz I had to go some where and didnt notice that ok? I have not gottne that chance to read it again.

[Goodwill]

you got it... Especially Gwen's death or MJ's trip of the GW bridge.

 

[Ultxon]

Sorry, ice, I forgot to mention in my bio that sometimes I can be a sarcastic a-hole, my bad.

Goodwill, what do you think of the eyless peter

 

[Ice]

Thats ok. I act like that sometimes with friends. But I see what you mean about what your saying. I didnt think of it like that, but that is quite intresting.

[Goodwill]

The eyes were meaningless... If anything, it's Peter's loss of life. Since Spidey has taken over, there is no such thing as caring anymore.

 

[Ultxon]

great interpretation [for a sec I thought you meant The lack of eyes were meaninless, but I reread it]

 

[jtg3885]

So wait. I never really got an answer... is Carnage still running around with GwenFace, or is it back to being well... Carnage-ish?

 

[Goodwill]

It never took the image of Gwen... When it changed its face it changed it to the Lizard once and then Peter.

 

[jtg3885]

USM #62, the page right before the mummy hand of Gwen? That's Peter's face in there? I thought it was too feminine to be his, and considering it developed during Carnage draining Gwen, I thought it was an approximation of her face.

 

[E]

That was Peter's face. Remember right before that he was recalling Peter's memories...but no, he never took the appearance of Gwen.

 

[Dark_Images]

The solits read the outcome of the upcoming battle is not what you expect. Do you think Carnage will be preserved for a possible return or do you think he should be destroyed, will help form the Ultimates if need be.
