Ultimate Spider-Man was the book in the early 2000's. I never developed an opinion of Brian Michael Bendis. I like that he boiled down years and years and years and years of Spider-Man to 150 issues. My only criticism of his run on Ultimate Spider-Man is that I never got the urge to re-read any of the issues. Except for the first arc when the book relaunched. When it became more of Ultimate Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends. I love how the book re-starts, with Peter working fast food. Briefly.

I always meant to pick up and start reading the Miles Morales version of Ultimate Spider-Man...

But Peter Parker's "The End" was so perfect and complete.

Kinda like Jack Knight's.

Every body has a connection to a certain book. Starman was that one book that I connected with. Comics were crazy in the '90's. I always thought I would be able to put my kids through college off my comic book collection. i was an amateur/armchair speculator. Between speculators and gimmicks, comics were pretty lame in the '90's. That, and the rising cover price, I picked a couple books to stick with: The Batman Adventures and Starman. There were a few others; like Chuck Dixon's Robin; Jerry Ordway's Power of Shazam; The Comet; The Crusaders; Justice Society of America. Starman was THE ongoing book.

I never saw THE END coming.

Ted Knight faced The Mist and their own "Reichenbach Falls" the same time my dad died from prostate cancer. On Mother's Day.

Jack Knight, like Ultimate Peter Parker, had a beginning, a middle and an end.

Miles Morales, maybe not so much.

Word is coming out that, now that Bendis has bolted for DC, his Miles Morales version of Spider-Man has been cancelled by Marvel. Miles Morales was kinda like James Robinson's Jack Knight.

It would be a shame if Miles didn't get his own The End.
