“That’s not Peter Parker,” Alonso told The Post. “There’s going to be someone new wearing the costume.”

We still have three more Ultimate Spider-Man issues to go before we finally get to find out what is happening with Peter Parker. That said, Marvel’s Editor-in-Chief Axel Alonso gave the New York Post a teaser/spoiler that very soon, Peter Parker won’t be wearing the Spider-Man costume.

Just last week, we saw Parker take a bullet meant for Steve Rogers. We found out in “Ultimate Avengers vs New Ultimates” that the Punisher’s bullet was only meant to take out Rogers’ kneecap, however in the “Death of Spider-Man” issue, they made it seem as if it was going to be a head-shot.

Parker quickly decided to take the bullet instead, which leads me to believe that he’s either going to truly be dead, or it will cause him to hang up the suit for good.

However that still doesn’t explain the new webslinger.

Now, I’m all for change in comic books. Changes that are permanent as well. I’m ok with Parker biting the big one and there no longer being a Spider-Man in the Ultimates Universe. But someone else as a new Spider-Man?

That just isn’t sittin’ pretty with me, right now. I guess we’ll have to see how it’s handled.
