In this web-slinging episode of The Comic Book Block, we dive deep into Marvel's bold new take on the wall-crawler with the Ultimate Spider-Man.

We unpack Jonathan Hickman's groundbreaking narrative, and how this reimagined Peter Parker—now older, married, and a father—challenges everything we thought we knew about Spidey.

Join us as we break down key story arcs from Issues #1–#16, explore the multiverse implications, spotlight standout moments with Mary Jane, their daughter May, and son Richard, and ask: Is this the This is Us-style Spider-Man story we did not know we needed?

Whether you're a die-hard fan of the original or a newcomer to the web, this episode is your guide to Marvel’s boldest reconstruction yet.
