They're only good if you are new to the characters in any form, I gave up reading Ultimate Spider-Man because it's just the same old stuff, J Michael Stratzynski however is writing the best Spider-Man stories in a long time, and if he stays on for a few more years, he will have created the biggest streak of quality a Spider-Man title has ever seen.
Ultimates is not the same old stuff.
