Yeah, I liked that twist. Another case of Ultimate versions of the characters having superficial similarity to the 616 original, but unique details that have interesting possibilities.
um, i can deal...it's better than having 3+ 616 spider-women who claim to have no connection with peter although the unimaginative writers just thought 'what if peter was a girl?' - guess it's funny as a commentary on that. i just can't stand spin-off heroes: she-hulk, spider-woman, bat-girl, superboy, supergirl - WHAT THE HELL?!
anyways i think bendis played it safe: 3 clones we 'know', two very very cool ones we don't.
Nuts. Well, I'll just continue to sit in the corner and think about Jessica Rabbit for a while. In a completely non-pervy way, of course. I've never even done the freeze frame thing. Honest.
Here's an idea! If you don't want to read about current comics, perhaps you shouldn't be where people are discussing current comics. Is it that hard to not log on every day?
I think this is the first time I've ever complained about a spoiler online, and I've been "logging on every day" for the last 15 years. I'm normally able to avoid spoilers because if I haven't read the newest USM yet I avoid posts that look like they'll talk about USM and I'm usually fine.
Unfortunately Declarative Rabbit didn't give me an option to avoid it. I'd understand if the comic had been out for a while, but this was only a couple days old.
And Apodaca, what's your beef? It's not like I wrote some rant that claims the entire online comics community should kneel before me and fear my wrath. All I did was leave a short comment for the author (which doesn't involve you in the least) stating a simple fact so they might not post a similar reveal next time. Is that so outrageous?
"Really, I think the whole thing is a non issue. She had already shown up in a previous issue. Finding out her name isn’t exactly a spoiler. "
I dunno, Big Two comics are so incestual that some people do enjoy wondering which version of a character it is.
'It's definetly a Spider-Woman, but which one did he bring over??? They're all so different!'.

A question mark from the Declarative Rabbit? The end is nigh.
It was a pretty darn good idea for an Ultimate revamp, though.

Now you'll have to read the comic for it's exectution/storytelling prowress - not just to find out who's in it.
Damn that Bunny!

...wait, I'm confused. It didn't say Spider Woman before, why the change? Now my crappy Jessica Rabbit joke makes even less sense than before

People complained about spoilers.
3 also changed the "?" to make ED happy.

By the way, I just now noticed the switch to "Ultimate Spider-Woman…well played, Bendis." Thank you.
I enjoy including CSBG in my daily RSS briefing and I thank everyone involved here at CBR for all their work.

Really, I think the whole thing is a non issue. She had already shown up in a previous issue. Finding out her name isn't exactly a spoiler.
