I met Jonathan Hickman a couple of years ago at HeroesCon. I asked him about mutants and FF in the MCU. He said he knew but OBVIOUSLY couldn't tell me. A great guy to meet! I met Chris Claremont and Marc Guggenheim around the same time, and they definitely told me things. 😅
12:34 I don't think it's symbiote in the traditional sense but their version of the symbiote because remember it's a tech suit extremely advanced tech being Pico tech but tech nonetheless
Right, instead of a transforming organic material, it's transforming synthetic material. But it's still sentient, and it's obvious this is the Symbiote of this universe.
100% a new idea from the og ultimate science made symbiote i actually like this "tech" based symbiote i honestly wonder how they are going to explain some of the venom like things or maybe he finds out its not actually tech but something howard didnt get enough time to properly study
every new issue ends up being the best issue of the run. Marco and Hickman are an incredible duo to be working on any comic but specifically for Spider-Man they really shine i love how we’re finally getting drama in this run. MJ and her sister (what’s a bit of an a-hole btw, still tho, sucks she get divorced the way she did)Peter and Harry missing, MJ and Gwen not knowing where the husbands are and the biggest twist so far: Peter not even being at the Christmas party and was actually the pico shell taking his place it makes sense, he didn’t speak the whole issue and due to the black speech bubbles it’s implied it’s because he wouldn’t sound like the real deal. But because the suit copied Peter’s brainwaves and personality back in issue 7 and even foreshadowed in 8 by showing Peter (and the audience) that because it’s a perfect replica of Peter’s psyche that it genuinely “cares” for Peter’s family, it must’ve figured he’ll keep up appearances as “Peter” to keep things as normal as possible and this is the most vulnerable we’ve seen Gwen so far as well, the usual “boss bi***” personal fell flat as soon as her husband went missing, understandably so but it’s surprising to some as some people thought Gwen was lowkey about to become a villain. I can’t wait to see how she and MJ will get through this, let alone May and Richard Speaking of, Richard and Jonah are an unlikely duo i didn’t know i needed and Ben being able to pull a GILF like Madeline is as funny as it is crazy. If he and Madeline got together, wouldn’t that technically make MJ and Peter related through law😂? only small issue i have is that we still don’t have defined ages for the kids, but we know May hasn’t seen her aunt Gayle since she was 2 but i wish we knew how old she and Richard are. I’m sure we’ll find out eventually but for a comic that takes place in real time, i figured that would’ve been one of the first things we’d learn about them 100/10 issue, absolute peak, this 3 issue arc with Kraven is gonna be awesome. He’s Spidey’s biggest challenger yet (besides Fisk himself). Absolute Batman and Ultimate Spider-Man are carrying comics for me right now
the ultimate version is what is called pekotech, might have mispelled that, it is NOT a symbiote it fills a similar role, but it has not been implied to be nor called a symbiote
Notice how during the convo with Peter, it's drawn in such a way that if you weren't paying attention to the bubbles, you'd be convinced that Peter was the one talking. I remember finishing it then going back and being like "oh yeah. he wasn't talking the whole time!"
The Watsons, the reasons why the Parkers are happy to be only children. I jest, but this family drama that is divorced (Oof sorry, Gayle) from any superhero-related stuff is the reason why you keep MJ around. Showing us that we don't need people in Rhino suits to have intense battles.
I like that the Parkers, the Watsons, and Jonah spent their holidays together. This includes Richard telling Jonah about his book, MJ and his sister reconciling, Uncle Ben telling Jonah that he has a shot with MJ’s mom, and Gwen telling MJ what’s happened to Peter and Harry, resulting in MJ to realize that the suit named Venom took his place while the real Peter and Harry are captured by Kraven the Hunter. Let’s hope that MJ and Gwen will try to save their husbands (and/or that Peter and Harry will free themselves) from Kraven. Overall, this is a great comic!
I knew the Venom Symbiote was involved in some shape or form from a few spoilers floating online.... but I had no idea this particular version DUPLICATED PETER, which begs the question. Why is Venom here as Peter?, why isn't it acting as Spider-Man trying to save his host from Kraven
This "Venom" is Spider-Man's suit. It's like a nanobot swarm that can cover Peter's body. But it can also act indepedently, and in this case it seems Peter asked it to fill in for him. That, or it did something bad and is in on it.
I Absolutely Love Spider-Man's Brand Newest Suit right here! That's definitely Elf Spider-Man to the Rescue! I Absolutely Love seeing Spider-Man, saving the Holidays in his New Christmas Suit!
From "This lady probably smells like white diamonds!😂" To "Wouldn't it be a shame to make a man dig his own grave?😮" Really running the gambit of funny and morbid with this episode 😂😂😂😂😂
I think this solves, covers - a few things, Ben Riley's name was already dropped in this universe as being Spider-Man's photographer, maybe this is this saying the symbiote will be Peters clone moving forward and will help cover Spider-Man's true identity.
The swoosh passed my window cause quite a clatter. I awoke from my slumber to see what was the matter. And to my surprise, along came a spider. Swinging happily by after an elf on a glider. After shrugging my shoulders and scratching my head. "Happy Holidays New York. I'm going back to bed."
Please for the love of God dont make Venom evil for too long and ACTUALLY STAY WITH PETER! Evil Venom against Peter has been beaten to death it might as well be just a puddle of blood.
Son, son, son. Rob, I can relate, brother. We're the same age, and most of my life, I was known as the "no-filter guy." It took me getting well into my 30s to finally get the hang of the "not being a jerk" part. which I still sometimes see as just lying to people to spare their feelings. Cause, personally, I don't want anyone lying to me not to offend me. But, I'm also nearly impossible to offend, which is not the case with too many folks these days, sadly. Anyway, keep up the great work, dude! Merry Christmas!
i wonder if peter wearing a “Secret Santa” sweater was some kind of foreshadowing of the end reveal. also can’t wait to see how the month thing will effect MJ. I can’t wait
I'm surprised that he didn't try and speak as Peter. It can interact with solid matter (he's holding a cup). I know his voice is naturally distorted, but he can simulate Parker pretty well. It's probably going to go manic, since his Peter is gone. He's going to absorb all that fear from MJ and project it back when he saves Peter.
Oh, man. I SHUDDER to think as to what might happen to Peter and Harry at the hands of the newer, DEADLIER Version of ULTIMATE KRAVEN THE HUNTER!!!!!!!!!!! 12:36 Also, MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU ALL, MAN! No doubt. 🎄🎄☃️☃️❄️❄️
Hey ComicsExplained Ive been playing Marvel Rivals and my main is Namor. I love him from the comics can you do a version of him any would be awesome if not hey at least I asked🫶🏻🖤
I didn't really get why people are saying the kraven movie was that bad. I thought it was good. I also thought morbius was good. I don't expect perfect 10s because I know spiderman can't be in the movies. So I made peace with that and I think of the Sony villain movies as what the villains get into in their free time without heroes around
The ending to this issue of Hickman's Ultimate Spider-Man was crazy because Peter was actually Venom the whole while the real Peter along with Harry are captured by Kraven The Hunter. I can't wait for what's about to happen to the Ultimate Universe next year because only eleven months remain before the Maker returns.
Hi comics explained this is totally random but I found out that aliens vs avengers releases feb 19th teasing something about the xmen that’s got me pumped up lol. 😂
Don't you think that this video was kinda "clickbaity..." I mean, I clicked on this video expecting it to lead up to a NEW SUIT, and then nothing was ever shown. Instead I got a lot of filler content for MJ's life to which I give ZERO shits about... One of the worst feelings in the world is to sit here and feel like I've wasted my time.
Man, I've always thought it, but especially after the comments with just because you can say something doesn't mean you always should comment you made in this video. I know for certain we'd get along. I would love to talk to you about comics one day
I don't read comics much so when I saw the thumbnail, I thought 'oh, Santa gave Peter a new power up costume, neat!' and that's it. Boy am I glad to be wrong.
Having a Christmas sweater that says nothing but "Reindeer" is peak effort levels.
i've seen shit just like that at target and walmart lolol
Watermelon/elf spiderman. It's canon somewhere
🤔 has potential make it a pointed ear nature loving ageless spider riding hippy.. with a penchant to talk to plants 😅😂😂
Nightcrawler Spider-Man was out there. That's close enough to an elf.
@@jspur22 hmm good point.
@@SpookyRecoil bruh
Watermelfon? Elfermelon? Somethin'... lol 😂

What'd they tell you? 👀
tell ussssss
they told you how straight trash both mcu movies and tv shows would suck right about now?? great

@Nolabray21 it's kind of like the gwenom concept cuz her symbiote was artificial I think it was tech as well

What do you mean the Parker's are happy to be only children?
What about may and richard they seem to get along well enough
Exactly why I haven’t been interested in 616 Peter’s personal life since Civil War
I like that the Parkers, the Watsons, and Jonah spent their holidays together. This includes Richard telling Jonah about his book, MJ and his sister reconciling, Uncle Ben telling Jonah that he has a shot with MJ’s mom, and Gwen telling MJ what’s happened to Peter and Harry, resulting in MJ to realize that the suit named Venom took his place while the real Peter and Harry are captured by Kraven the Hunter.

3:30 What do you mean off limits?! AUNT MAY GOT HITCHED HOW MANY TIMES?! 2?! 3?!
4, 2 times to peters enemies
Glad the ultimate universe is back
Day 15 of asking Rob to cover Radiant Black
Haven’t finished the video yet but I’m calling now that peters not talking because he’s venom
😶
I Absolutely Love Spider-Man's Brand Newest Suit right here! That's definitely Elf Spider-Man to the Rescue! I Absolutely Love seeing Spider-Man, saving the Holidays in his New Christmas Suit!
From "This lady probably smells like white diamonds!😂"
To
"Wouldn't it be a shame to make a man dig his own grave?😮"
Really running the gambit of funny and morbid with this episode 😂😂😂😂😂
5:53 What my mother always said to me was:
🗣️"Just because you're Thinking something, that doesn't mean you need to Say it" 🎯
I think this solves, covers - a few things, Ben Riley's name was already dropped in this universe as being Spider-Man's photographer, maybe this is this saying the symbiote will be Peters clone moving forward and will help cover Spider-Man's true identity.
Does anyone else get the feeling Rob has made someone dig their own grave? "Man, that would be crazy... hah, ya... crazy"😂
The swoosh passed my window cause quite a clatter. I awoke from my slumber to see what was the matter. And to my surprise, along came a spider. Swinging happily by after an elf on a glider. After shrugging my shoulders and scratching my head. "Happy Holidays New York. I'm going back to bed."
Oh yeah, I forgot that Mary Jane's side of the family is kinda dysfunctional lol
3:45 unless it's the Tobey Spider-Man
Yes the ending is endeed “amazing “ Pun intended 😂😂😂couldn’t believe that peter stuff
Looking at MJ’s mother and sister, I wonder if one of them might be Silver Sable but I’m probably reaching.
🤔🤔🤔🤔 I'm betting on Gale.
wth💀
Please for the love of God dont make Venom evil for too long and ACTUALLY STAY WITH PETER! Evil Venom against Peter has been beaten to death it might as well be just a puddle of blood.
A puddle of blood is carnage, who was in fact introduced to help solve that.
Son, son, son. Rob, I can relate, brother. We're the same age, and most of my life, I was known as the "no-filter guy."

YOU KNOW ITS GONA BE A GOOD ONE WHEN ROB IS THIS EXCITED IN THE FIRST 15 SWECONDS OF THE 'VIDEO
Keep posting more Spider-Man
i wonder if peter wearing a “Secret Santa” sweater was some kind of foreshadowing of the end reveal. also can’t wait to see how the month thing will effect MJ. I can’t wait
Never thought I’d love red and green on a Spider-Man
This was a dope ass comic.
The drinks in the last panel of Mj and her sister the drinks are almost pure black if not all the way black.
Merry Christmas Rob. ❤
When you accidentally discover an ideal way to avoid the godawful Christmas family reunion...
Amazing!
I love ultimate Spider-Man
Well the Suit is ddoing the best it can ddo. Protecting the family
I'm surprised that he didn't try and speak as Peter. It can interact with solid matter (he's holding a cup). I know his voice is naturally distorted, but he can simulate Parker pretty well. It's probably going to go manic, since his Peter is gone. He's going to absorb all that fear from MJ and project it back when he saves Peter.
Happy Holidays Rob Corp
the red and green suit looks awesome
buuuuuuck, that ending was bad arse
Oh, man. I SHUDDER to think as to what might happen to Peter and Harry at the hands of the newer, DEADLIER Version of ULTIMATE KRAVEN THE HUNTER!!!!!!!!!!! 12:36 Also, MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU ALL, MAN! No doubt. 🎄🎄☃️☃️❄️❄️

the secret santa t shirt was a sneaky clue
Hey ComicsExplained Ive been playing Marvel Rivals and my main is Namor. I love him from the comics can you do a version of him any would be awesome if not hey at least I asked🫶🏻🖤
Hell YEAH
I didn't really get why people are saying the kraven movie was that bad. I thought it was good. I also thought morbius was good.

Just luv it 😂 💯
Any ideas about what Hickman's Imperial will be?
I'm so excited for nanobot Venom.
What I don’t understand is how the kids didn’t know something was wrong .
JUST WHEN YOU THOUGHT IT WAS SAFE ..
12:13 We Are Venom.
Merry Chrsitmas web heads!🕷
Rooooobbbbbb plz can you go over Dino Doom, and/or Doom Rex🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I’m super excited for mutants on mcu and FF surprise
Did... did Rob make a man dig his own grave?
Im not even mad at the colors 😂😂
The ending to this issue of Hickman's Ultimate Spider-Man was crazy because Peter was actually Venom the whole while the real Peter along with Harry are captured by Kraven The Hunter. I can't wait for what's about to happen to the Ultimate Universe next year because only eleven months remain before the Maker returns.
will you ever cover dc silent knight
I thought kraven was a pretty solid movie🤷♂️
I saw the rhino couldn't even get past that

Heh spider claus
Kraven is giving me kano vibes ngl
Man, I've always thought it, but especially after the comments with just because you can say something doesn't mean you always should comment you made in this video. I know for certain we'd get along. I would love to talk to you about comics one day
I am once again asking for you to cover the image comics energon universe
oh wow, i didnt know the kraven movie was released yet. that bad, huh?
Not going to lie I wish we got to meet the brocks
Agree to disagree, but the Kraven movie was not bad at all. Worst part about it was the bits of corny dialogue, but its only corny if youre a fan tbh.
this story (no spoilers from me) soo damn creepy
smells like white diamond...just wrong....lololol
Oh definitely Peter parker love 2 be talking boy lol!!!!!
I’m hoping the pico suit Parker will become the scarlet spider. I’d rather that than venom
It is a clone technically, that would be epic
They'll be back at eachotherw throats in a weak😅
Where was the new suit???
Who the hell is aunt Anna did I miss something is that Aunt May's sister
If spiderman was robin
Omg... is this the Venom suit from the Ultimate Universe that the maker wore?
MRS. WATSON DO NOT THE UNCLE BEN
why didnt anyone like the Kraven movie? I just watched it and it was ok.
The look for MJ's mom has to be based off Elon Musk's mom, right?
I have so many questions
Hello
Hi.
If Peter Parker/Spider-Man isn’t talking then something is very *very* wrong.
To the point any enemies surrender
Where was the new suit tho 💀
the imposter peter is the new suit shapeshifting as peter
@ yeah but we we knew that. There was no Spider-Man suit in the video. I don’t really care tho it was still a sick video
I don't read comics much so when I saw the thumbnail, I thought 'oh, Santa gave Peter a new power up costume, neat!' and that's it.
Boy am I glad to be wrong.
I’m going to make a wild guess, I’m 3 minutes into the video, MJ’s mom is the Chameleon. I’ll reply back saying if I was right or not.
I was wrong but still a good twist
Bruh.
