Finally!
I was a big fan of ultimate spider-woman, i would like to see an ultimate spider-woman mini-series, or she should become a member of the ultimates.
thoughts.
 
Was something announced, or is this just something you want?

Where is it she's returning?

Here is the solicitation, with this cover:

Ultimatum is upon us!! Big changes are afoot and with them comes the much anticipated return of ULTIMATE
SPIDER-WOMAN! But is she friend or foe?? Guest- starring the Human Torch and Kitty Pryde!

It's also mentioned here below the paragraph on Ender's Shadow. There's no accompanying picture on that page--it's just left next to the Ender cover.

NON-CONSENSUAL SEX CHANGE!!!!!!!

I'm with zombiepanda.


Spider-Woman is just Peter with boobs and a vagina and that's creepy.She's basically X-23 2.0 so not very original either.
 
Years from now, historians will look back at this book as a watershed moment in medicine, crediting Marvel with curing insomnia.
 
I thought Ultimate Spider-Woman was lame. Being a clone of Peter, having fingertip webshooters....I agree with Zombipanda.
 
I dunno, I always thought she was the best thing to come out of the Clone Saga. That's not saying much, but I thought she was interesting enough.

Whoa whoa whoa, guys. I'm not saying I'm opposed to the character. I'm not saying it's a bad character concept, just a horrifying one - a kid in the throes of puberty who has his mind and memory forced into the body of a girl. That's dark, really dark, especially for a book like Ultimate Spider-Man. For that matter, the idea of clones in general is an interesting one for the book. It gives you an opportunity to play with the idea of who Peter Parker and Spider-Man are. What happens if you twist him a little bit genetically this way, or a little bit that way? Although, I suspect Bendis hasn't really thought through the implications of what terribly ****ed-up territory he's treading into, so I doubt the characters will be followed through with correctly - and if they are, I doubt it would even fit this particular book. But that's just fine. I don't read it anyway.

That said, I like the idea more than X-23, who I find to be a pretty atrocious and derivative character.

Well look at this way, since Ultimate Spider-Woman is essential Ultimate Spider-Man (emotions, memories and all) we have at least a CHANCE of seeing some Ultimate-Spider-Woman-on-Ultimate-MJ action :D

Hah. I think the Annual should conclude with MJ dumping Spider-Man for Spider-Woman.

That's one of the major problems I have with USM. There are so many great plot points like this, that could be dark or hilarious or exciting, that get dropped. Explore issues of identity and gender? Nah, just pile a bunch of shocks (tail clone! girl clone! harvey dent clone! six armed clone! dad alive! gwen alive! gwarnage! dad clone! mj goblin! IT WASN'T THE ARMS IT WAS THE METAAAAAL!) one on top of the other for an entire arc while devoting the majority of the landmark hundredth issue to a long, complicated story that isn't even true. Have Peter struggle to fight a corrupt police chief he used to trust? Nah, she'll just get shot in an annual and never be mentioned again. I could go on.
