If you didn’t catch Peter Parker’s adventures in Ultimate Spider-Man the first time around, don’t worry – Marvel have republished all of the comics in trade paperback form. It concluded with Ultimate Comics Spider-Man issue #160. Initially, Ultimate Comics Spider-Man restarted its numbering from the very beginning (issue #1, #2, #3 etc), but in time it reverted back to the numbering of its predecessor. However, due to the popularity of the title, Ultimate Spider-Man was given a relaunch shortly after its cancellation, returning in the shape of Ultimate Comics Spider-Man #1. Ultimate Spider-Man was a huge hit for Marvel and the comic ran for 133 issues, before it was cancelled as part of plans to bring the Ultimate Universe to a close.

The comic followed the early adventures of Peter Parker and saw the wall-crawler battle the likes of Venom, Carnage, and the Sinister Six, as well as other villains. This new universe was known as the Ultimate Marvel Universe, and one of the comics it gave birth to was Ultimate Spider-Man. The plan was to take heroes such as Spider-Man, the X-Men, and the Fantastic Four, place them in a new universe (separate to existing Marvel continuity), and restart their stories from the very beginning. In 2000, and with years of continuity under its belt, Marvel Comics made the decision to reimagine some of its most popular characters.
