Will We Get Ultimate Venom Before Ultimate Spider-Man Ends? (Spoilers)
Article Summary
- Ultimate Spider-Man by Jonathan Hickman ends at issue #24, with major storylines reaching their climax soon.

Ultimate Spider-Man by Jonathan Hickman and Marco Checchetto comes to an end this year with #24. What leads to that conclusion we do not know, but it is part of The Maker escaping from his two year time prison in the Ultimate Universe.
Ultimate Spider-Man has told the story of a mid-life crisis Spider-Man. One who was never bitten by a spider as a teenager, thanks to the intervention of The Maker. And who came to being Spider-Man a lot later in life, after getting married with kids, and choosing the power courtesy of Tony Stark rather than having it thrust upon him, in the fashion of a sports car, a tattoo or a gun.
Then his family found out. And his son, Richard, got his own suit, the Picotech Stealth Suit created by Stark Industries, via Harry Osborn and Otto Octavius, and commanded by Peter Parker to protect his family. In Peter’s absence, the A.I. and Richard Parker began acting as Spider-Man–the picotech suit taking on a dark form with white spider emblems, reminiscent of the 616 Venom. Didn’t stop him getting kidnapped though.
Well, Ultimate Spider-Man #19 is out this week. And boy, one way or another, we are getting something, well, very much like Venom. Richard… is that you in there? Mary Jane? Someone else?
