This series was kino, I remember, but it had a really ass warm up for like 30 issues before it started getting really good. Wasn't Peter in a love triangle with Emma Frost in this one?

Yeah. Marvel shitcanned it a bit after they killed Peter in Ultimate Spider-Man because Marvel Adventures was outselling USM with Miles by a country mile. It was a really rough period, in some ways I think rougher than even the current state of Spider-Man comics because Marvel just kept gutting and cannibalizing anything with Peter in it to shill Miles unsuccessfully, which just made people hate Miles more.

marvel adventures got under editorial's skin because it, by the time it was reaching the point it got cancelled was basically what people had loved about USM x10, which when juxtiposed to the USM comic line at the time just made the things people didnt like about it seem all the more glaring
imagine the older peak USM issues being released side by side on a store shelf with OMD and mogging it, that's basically what was going on. while i wish we'd had more, at the same time, i'm also sort of glad it only lasted 60 issues instead of getting appropriated and raped into oblivion like USM.

No, it didn't happen. Marvel Adventures didn't outsell Miles-era USM because Marvel Adventures was doing like less than 10,000 during 2011/2012. I don't know where that guy got his info from.

It wasn’t necessarily a love triangle. Emma got infatuated with Peter but Peter and Chat always were in love with each other. You should read the 2005 run from issue 53 to completion to see it
>>
>>150551444
>>150551515
Sales figures for either were not made publicly available, but MAS was received critically far better than USM, which would indicate it sold more. I also worked at a comic book store from 2011 to 2014 and we couldn't move Miles issues of USM, no one wanted them. You're the one pulling figures out your ass.
>>
>>150551115
>>150551420
>>150551444
nta but marvel never released actual sales data for either comic line, but you can infer how they were doing based on critical reception like the other guy said
i didnt work at a comic shop like he says he did but i am old enough to remember miles issues of ultimate spiderman sitting on the shelves of my local comic shop without getting touched while everything else spiderman, including old stock of marvels adventures was gone usually the same day it got put out
and knowing how marvel's editorial is it wouldn't surprise me at all if that were the truth
>>
>>150554798
>>150555270
You can actually go and look at Comichron's charts. Marvel Adventures during that time wasn't high while Miles only just debuted in 2011. There was no way Marvel Adventures was outselling Miles-era USM in that time. You don't need to be making shit up in order to praise Marvel Adventures over a decline-era Bendis comic.
>>
>>150555950
There are no sales figures for either title on Comichron either for the time period being compared (2011-2012). You're the one, once again, making shit up.

Why lie? Miles debuted in 2011. Marvel Adventures was not outselling even pre-Miles USM. You don't have to like Miles, just don't make up shit.

bro no one said it was outselling pre miles usm, but that the issues released between 2011 and 2012 outsold the fresh miles issues learn to read, the only one making shit up here is you

Who the fuck is Chet

She’s kind
>>
>>150560295
Peter's classmate, partner, and after a while his girlfriend. She's a mutant with the ability to communicate with animals and acts basically as Spider-Man's supporter. I can't put to words how refreshing it was not to have her be a like, techno-girlboss who does all the geeky science stuff to provide the quantum solution. She's often actually pretty out of her depth trying to help him, but her sincerity in doing her best makes it so that she isn't annoying at all, unlike e.g. Mary Jane acting like she has a chip on her shoulder because she hates being a damsel.
>>
>>150562997
The best love interest imo
>>
>>150563918
She's basically the only heroine who was never presented as some kind of obstacle to Peter, either directly or indirectly. Most heroines will either be an unwitting obstacle or negative force in his life because he lies to them all the time to preserve his secret identity, or if they do know his secret identity they go "oh thats great!" then bitch and moan and cry and do everything they can to punish him for being spider-man when it is inconvenient for them. Chet was really the only time he had a heroine on his side that was both for the most part a normal girl and also ride or die enough to be with him through thick and thin, as both Peter Parker *and* Spider-Man.
For whatever reason, editorial hates the idea of him having a love life that doesn't suck ass.

Something spider-fans and editorial alike need to internalize is that no normal woman would ever want/be able to have a relationship with a man that is never home and is constantly putting their life on the line. They can accept the responsibility thing for a while, but eventually it'd wear anyone down. Imagine having a gf that's never around, regularly disappears for days at a time, and whom you constantly fear is dead or dying. Imagine doing it for years. The only way to get Spidey a good relationship, a realistic one, is to have her also be active in hero work, ideally his

Cops and firefighters mostly just hang around or do routine work, plus they have set schedules and aren't having to constantly ditch you at the drop of a hat cause Shocker is tearing up FAO Schwartz or whatever. Soldiers famously don't tend to have great relationships while deployed lol

I wanted to mention this in an older thread but I forgot: as much as I love the Tobin run it's virtually detached from all the Marvel Adventures issues before it, especially the early ones where he fights the Sinister Six or teams up with Human Torch. Not to mention I'm pretty sure the cops aren't as hesitant to support Spidey's actions before Tobin's run made it a big deal. what I'm trying to say is his run should've always started with a rebranded #1 like here imo, keep the Marvel Adventures name but make it a new volume so the split is official
>>

>no normal woman would ever want/be able to have a relationship with a man that is never home and is constantly putting their life on the line
funny way to admit you've never had a normal relationship with a woman AND that you've never been tested in life, either alone or with a partner

>>
>>150570617
In general the previous Marvel Adventures were usually detached from each other. There's very few instances where I think a writer referenced something from another MA writer's story.

what was the point for a relaunch anyway, I wonder? the ongoing storyline with the Torino family and Bullseye wasn't actually concluded so this feels like weird going back to #1 in the midst of an arc
>>
>>150584221
It's the mentality Marvel's had for some time, that they need to get a boost from another relaunch. You see this carry over in the 2010s
>>
>>150584258
oh I'm fairly aware of Marvel's obsession with #1's, I'm just surprised they did it A) for a smaller side comic and not 616/Ultimate titles, and B) in the midst of a major story arc, not after its conclusion to denote a new era
>>
>>150584221
Marvel keeps relaunching to get that fabled #1 which sells more than any other consequent issue. That's because Marvel's strategy has become turning comics into collectable items instead of a storytelling medium.

Just look at the pay discrepancies between the cover artist and the interior artist.

Recent example of this phenomena was that Batman was recently relaunched after years and years of continuity, and boy that brought in the big bucks for DC
>>
>>150584221
Todd McFarlane trvkes them about this when he was asked about the prices of comic book issues and vintages where he points out that speculators markets make first ed.'s of #1's the most valuable, which in turn means the original retailer (marvel in this case) can charge whatever the fuck they want for them knowing scalpers will offload the burden in their second and thirdhand margins. They don't really give a shit about actually telling stories anymore, which is why 99% of comics now are just soapboxes for whoever happens to be making them.

>Just look at the pay discrepancies between the cover artist and the interior artist
wait you mean the cover artist gets paid more than the interior artist??
>>
>>150585643
I don't know if you are being sarcastic or not, but yes, quite a lot more when you consider page rate
>>
to be fair it depends on the artists too. Alex Ross on cover art would immediately make the pay difference higher than usual but if it's some generic artist on cover and a superstar one, say, Jim Lee for interiors I assume the difference is less and perhaps even reversed
>>
>>150585658
I'm not being sarcastic, comic artist pay rates is just not something I'm familiar with. How is it that the interior artist who basically draws the entire comics (and also writes a lot of it if going by the Marvel method) paid less than the person who just draws the cover? I can understand variant covers being paid more, but for regular covers that looks just like a page on the inside I'm actually surprised
>>
>>150587570
>How is it that the interior artist who basically draws the entire comics (and also writes a lot of it if going by the Marvel method) paid less than the person who just draws the cover?
Cause because of the speculator market, comics have transformed from a storytelling medium to a collector's market. Therefore, it does not matter what the story or the art inside the comic is, its the covers where you will put the big bucks. Many of those #1s you see get sold are not even read; they are kept in plastic regardless if its a good comic or not.

And Marvel seeing the profits they can make from making comics as collectibles than stories, started to feed into the market — hence the cover artist making the most.

Because not only is there a lot of variant cover collectors, there are people who have CGC grade and seal these books up in plastic cases. Since it's sealed you can't read the book and can only look at the cover.
