Ultimate Spider-Man<\/a> peels back the curtain on two supporting characters, and one of them recently lost their life in a battle against the Sinister Six<\/a>. Spider-Man<\/a> has been working alongside Harry Osborn, aka the Green Goblin, to topple Wilson Fisk\u2019s criminal empire. Fisk has retaliated back at our heroes, recruiting the Sinister Six to take out the vigilantes. Kraven the Hunter captured Spider-Man and Green Goblin, drugging them and learning their secret identities in the process. Peter Parker was able to escape, but Harry died after taking a gunshot wound to the head. He leaves behind his wife, Gwen Stacy, who must now pick up the pieces of her life without her husband by her side.<\/p>\n

ComicBook has the exclusive preview of Ultimate Spider-Man #16 by Jonathan Hickman, Marco Checchetto, Matthew Wilson, and VC\u2019s Cory Petit. It begins with Gwen Stacy standing at Harry Osborn\u2019s gravestone on a dark, rainy night in April. Each issue of Ultimate Spider-Man moves the story forward a month. We then flashback to Gwen Stacy as a little girl sometime after her mother\u2019s death. Gwen\u2019s father talks to her about growing up to become the \u201camazing person\u201d her mother always knew she\u2019d be. <\/p>\n

We more forward again in time to when Gwen Stacy and Harry Osborn are dating. Gwen has a secret to tell Harry, and it\u2019s that she didn\u2019t think she\u2019d like him since she hates rich people. Harry notes he\u2019s not just rich, but that he\u2019s actually wealthy. The flirting continues back and forth, with Harry being the first to say the words, \u201cI love you,\u201d though Gwen admits that she loves him too. <\/p>\n

Harry asks Gwen if she\u2019s ready to meet his parents. It seems he\u2019s told some pretty scary stories about them, but Gwen notes they can\u2019t be that bad, right? Gwen suddenly gets a phone call, and tells Harry, \u201cThey found him\u2026\u201d Who that person remains a mystery for at least a few more days, until the issue comes out next week. Maybe it\u2019s Gwen\u2019s father, Captain Stacy?<\/p>\n

Ultimate Spider-Man introduces many changes to the web-slinger\u2019s status quo. For example, he doesn\u2019t get his spider powers until he\u2019s a married man with two kids. Also, Green Goblin was a hero in the Ultimate Universe, and Peter and Gwen Stacy never dated. Plus, Gwen is alive, whereas her counterpart on Earth-616 was killed by Norman Osborn, the Green Goblin.<\/p>\n

With the Sinister Six knowing Spider-Man\u2019s secret identity, Peter has taken the family on the run<\/a> outside of New York City, where they encounter Sandman. While Peter was MIA, his son Richard donned the black picotech suit to fight crime in his father\u2019s absence. Peter takes it upon himself to train Richard, and the duo will fight side-by-side against the Sinister Six in future issues.<\/p>\n

The Spider-Men will meet Miles Morales in Ultimate Spider-Man: Incursion, the first event series for Marvel\u2019s new Ultimate Universe<\/a>. Ultimate Spider-Man: Incursion\u00a0is a five-issue limited series by Deniz Camp (Ultimates), Cody Ziglar (Miles Morales: Spider-Man), and Jonas Scharf (Ultimate Universe: One Year).<\/p>\n

\u201cMiles is definitely coming into this interaction with more experience than is traditionally the case when he meets a Peter, and that\u2019s part of the fun. Miles has some \u2018big there, done that\u2019 energy which rubs off on the new\u00a0Ultimate Spider-Men<\/a>,\u201d Ziglar told ComicBook in an exclusive interview. \u201cIn fact, I dare say it Miles might be a little too cocky for Peter\u2019s taste but that\u2019s also where some of the comedy lies!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cTHE SECRET ORIGIN OF MYSTERIO! Even Kingpin knows little about the criminal in the smoky helmet\u2026but Spider-Man\u2019s about to learn more than he bargained for!\u201d the description of Ultimate Spider-Man #16 reads.<\/p>\n
