Really? According to this: "Despite the early excitement, Ultimate Comics: Spider-Man is not a huge hit in the direct market."

The writer goes on to make an "affirmative action" argument that Miles should be kept but, if anything, that undercuts the notion that Miles is "quite popular." Were that the case, the affirmative action argument would seem unnecessary.


That article offers no statistics to back up his claims. He merely offers his own statement that it's not selling.

I really can't say for certain myself what the numbers are. I do know fans express a lot of love for him on the CBR forums where I frequent now. I'm basing my opinion only on that.

At the end of the day, I don't really care either way. I'm no fan of Spider-man, no matter who's wearing the suit. \:p
