Agreed. I have mostly only read Ultimate Spider-Man but it was pretty obvious when the writing started going downhill. Some of the art was not that great toward the end of the Spider-Man run either as I recall.

If you have Marvel Unlimited, all of Ultimate Spider-Man is on there up through the first Miles Morales run which I agree was really pretty good. I do think someone reading it without having read at least the Death of Spider-Man arc would be a bit lost about some stuff though.

One thing I will give the Ultimate universe. They kill off big/mid name characters and they seem to stay dead. Granted, my experience is again mostly the Ultimate Spider-Man series.

I would actually really like to have a solid Ultimate Spider-Woman figure with the red/white costume. I have enjoyed the character.
