Here is yet another one: [[https://birthmoviesdeath.com/2017/07/03/the-legacy-of-a-big-time-superhero-revisiting-ultimate-spider-man The Legacy Of A Big-Time Superhero: Revisiting ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN]] (subtitle: \\\"Mark Bagley and Brian Michael Bendis’ reinterpretation of Peter Parker has been hugely influential. But 17 years on, how does it work as a comic?\\\"). It was written in 2017, and it is quite on topic, I would say. And yes, they do point things that are outdated nowadays (stuff of TechnologyMarchesOn and SocietyMarchesOn, which is dealt with elsewhere). But when everything is said and done, \\\"Ultimate Spider-Man may be a bit of an artifact, but make no mistake, it is a very fine comic\\\". And, as for the claims of the entry under discussion, they say quite the opposite thing to RJ\\\'s text: \\\"In the process, the creators behind the books honed storytelling and design techniques \\\'\\\'\\\'that are still highly influential in contemporary cape comics today\\\'\\\'\\\'. For one example, Bryan Hitch and Mark Millar’s The Ultimates is the origin point for Samuel L. Jackson’s Nick Fury, the current trend of practical-looking superhero costumes, a notorious meme and a sizable chunk of the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s initial look and feel.\\\"
