Marvel Teams Up Ultimate Spider-Man with the Howling Commandos for Halloween

The animated series Ultimate Spider-Man will see a surprise visit from the new generation "Howling Commandos" come Halloween.

I still have apprehensions with this series but once you get to sit down and watch a couple of episodes, it kinda grows on you. The operative word being KINDA. There's still a lot of things that's wrong about this series but the humor and the themes are kinda up there with other classic Spidey animated series of yesteryear.

Still I'm a bit annoyed by Marvel not 'honoring' the real Howling Commandos and instead supplanting said Commandos with the Monster Squad (which I last saw back when Frank Castle aka The Punisher was still Frankencastle).

Oh and they didn't have Blade the Vampire Hunter back then.

A Better Look at SUPERIOR SPIDER-MAN V2

A quick look at the redesign on SUPERIOR SPIDER-MAN by artist extraordinaire Humberto Ramos.

Let's play fashion police for this new costume shall we? 

FOOTWEAR

The ninja shoes from the previous/ original design is gone (remember the toe spike? gone). I never really saw the sense for that design. Sure it was practical, but come on, this guy has the power to stick to walls. That would be like adding a trunk to a normal elephant. These new footwear I fancy because it's built with travelling in mind. Remember Spider-Man's adventures can lead him from the rooftops of New York to sewers or even the Savage Land. 

COLORS

The suit's color is black. I think that's a good progression (at least for the Dr. Octopus/ Superior Spider-Man iteration). Aesthetically, this makes Spidey a more menacing looking hero. Somebody not to be trifled with. It also means that the webcrawler has a more darker and grim outlook, something that wouldn't be noticed by his teammates in the Avengers until the very last moment.

WEBSHOOTERS

I don't know about you but the redesigned costume featuring the webshooters outside of the costume is a good thing. I was a sucker for the Ben Reilly Spidey costume and that featured the webshooters outside the suit. It's pretty biased I know but I just like the design. Also I noticed that the webshooter itself has changed looking more like a small vambrace plus it looks to me like it carries twice the amount of web fluid as Parker's version of the webshooter.

Overall, I'm all good with the redesign for the Superior Spider-Man. What confounds me is how similar it is to the design for Miles Morales' Ultimate Spider-Man costume.

I also couldn't help but notice that this heavily borrows some design elements from that failed Alex Ross Spider-Man project.

Regardless, I'm fine with this one and can't wait to see Spidey/Doc Ock go to war against his rogues in this new suit.What do you think? Answer the poll below and lets discuss as well

Will Ultimate Captain America Become the Ultimate American President?

I loathe and love the sound of that "Ultimate American President". Anyway Marvel is teasing that the Ultimate version of Captain America will be making a big decision that will change yet again the face of the Ultimate universe.

If you haven't been following the current Ultimate Universe storyline, the United States is currently embroiled in a bloody civil war.

Meet Ultimate Spider-Man's Supporting Cast

Disney XD's Ultimate Spider-Man TV series is about to be released and to build up more hype, Marvel has released new images for Peter Parker's super powered supporting cast.

Luke Cage

In the TV series, Luke Cage reverts to his old school code name of Power Man and will be part of the teenage class that SHIELD will be teaching to be the next generation of metahuman heroes.

(Being that Brian Michael Bendis is lending a helping hand with the development of the stories for this, we should be expecting Luke to make an appearance.)

Iron Fist in Ultimate Spider-Man Animated Series

Iron Fist aka Danny Rand will be appearing in Disney XD's "Ultimate Spider-Man" together with other fan favorites such as Nova, White Tiger(?), Luke Cage and of course Spider-Man.

I am taking a liking at this new costume because it ditches the elements I hated such as the tattooed chest and the those weird looking yellow slip-ons which spells old-school.

Also, it's interesting to note that the back story about Kun'Lun and all that mystical stuff that was discussed and featured during Matt Fraction's run will be appearing prominently for Danny's story.

Can't wait for April 1 which will be the official date for the release of the pilot.
