I'm scratching my head over Ultimate Spider-Man.
Volume 1 ran for 133 issues.
Volume 2 ran for 15 issues.
Volume 1 then picks back up again at #150. However, math tells me that 133 + 15 = 148. Where's the 149th issue of Ultimate Spider-Man?
Volume 1 then ran from #150 to #160.
The next series, Ultimate Comics Spider-Man, ran for 28 issues.
Volume 1 then picks back up again at #200. However, math tells me that 160 + 28 = 188. Where are the subsequent twelve issues needed to get to #200?
I have to be missing something here. Anyone know what the deal is?
Ultimate math!

Re: Ultimate math!
Playing host to Mr. Cock-Up, similar to "Incredible Hulk #600" which would have been the 599th issue of H2 in a direct sequence. Funnily enough, if they'd done it an issue earlier, they could have claimed the Ultimatum two-shot for the numbers...Col_Fury wrote:I'm scratching my head over Ultimate Spider-Man.

Well, since this blog resorts to adding the Point 1 issue, a cover gallery, Annuals and ignoring the missing #149...Col_Fury wrote:Volume 1 then ran from #150 to #160.

Meanwhile, Bendis's own version - http://brianmichaelbendis.tumblr.com/po ... eleased-in - includes:
So, yeah...A Man Who Can't Even Get His Own Books' Chronology Straight wrote:> So since Ultimate Spider-man #200 is being released in April, but 160 + 28 = 188 and there are 3 issues of the Cataclysm mini series... What are the other 9 issues that count?
so that is 191, then…
ultimate spidey special 1
spider-men 5
two ultimatum issues
4 annuals- they count!
i could also count ultimate six because they are listed in trade as usm.
not even including the death of spidey epilogue issues
i win
I suppose the best you'll get is:
- Ultimate Spider-Man #1-133
- Ultimate Spider-Man Super Special #1 (134)
- Ultimate Comics Spider-Man #1-15 (149)
- Ultimate Spider-Man #150-160 (160)
- Ultimate Comics: Spider-Man #1-28 (188)
- Spider-Men #1-5 (193)
- Cataclysm: Ultimate Spider-Man #1-3 (196)
- Ultimatum - Ultimate Spider-Man Requiem #1-2 (198)
- Ultimate Comics: Spider-Man #16.1 (199)

Re: Ultimate math!
Yikes. I guess I wasn't missing anything.
I didn't think about Ultimate Fallout and Spider-Men, but Spider-Men was published concurrently with the main book; I wouldn't have thought about including that anyway.
Oh, math. Why is counting so hard?
