I suppose this final unveil is a bit underwhelming, but I'm optimistic. I agree - the reboot of the Ultimate universe was the worst thing to happen to it. It was so fun, fresh, and exciting, and the new books have lost a lot of that flair. (ESPECIALLY the Ultimate Spider-Man book.)
I agree that 1602 would have been awesome! Now that it's occurred to me, I will miss it, though I must admit I did not read those stories, and so I don't know how exactly Spidey was different other than his setting.
Hey, how awesome would it have been to play as a Spidey on Iron Man's side during Civil War, with the awesome Iron Spider suit and the extra powers from his coming back to life?
