Put on your philosophy hats, students! For this lecture, your hosts are examining the current line of Ultimates comics through the lens of the ship of Theseus: what remains, what has changed, and what does this mean for the medium as a whole.

Topics for this episode include: How is Jonathan Hickman and Marco Cecchetto's Ultimate Spider-Man still very recognizably Spider-Man? In contrast, what does Peach Momoko's Ultimate X-Men saying with the deviations it's making? Finally, how does Denis Camp and Juan Frigeri's Ultimates provide an interesting fusion of the two perspectives.

Content warning: This episode contains discussions of the American government's treatment of Indigenous peoples, victims of nuclear testing, and suicide.
