Ultimate Marvel: Difference between revisions

Part re-imagining, part [[Adaptation Distillation]], the Ultimate line was originally an attempt by [[Marvel Comics]] to tempt readers into comics without being scared off by the [[Continuity Porn|decades]] of [[Backstory]] and [[Retcon|Retcons]] in the official universe.This attempt was launched in November, 2000. This had already been attempted by various other experiments - the [[Marvel Comics 2]] comic line, [[The New Universe]], [[Dork Age|Heroes Reborn]], etc., but none of those met with the success the Ultimate Marvel line did, except for ''[[Spider-Girl (Comic Book)|Spider-Girl]]'' (the original ''MC2'' title, and via multiple relaunches the only survivor of the line), which became the longest running [[Spider-Man|Spidey]] spin-off ever.
