He’s fought the Green Goblin and Doctor
Octopus, he’s rumbled with Kraven The Hunter
and survived an encounter with Venom, so what could
possibly happen next for Spider-Man? The answer lies in an
all new villain created solely for this Ultimate version
of the wall crawler.
Peter Parker finds himself out of love and out of luck, he’s
lost his Spider-Man suit, his girlfriend and to top it off some
jerk at the neighbouring high school is trashing the neighbourhood
with his emerging super-powers. Could it be someone just like Peter?
or just another super-villain on his block looking to pick a fight?
Brian Michael Bendis [Powers, Alias, Ultimate X-Men]
continues to astound me with this series. This comic is a sure thing,
if there is such a term in comics in today’s environment in
which we are bombarded by endless new titles and bad ideas. If you
are thinking of buying a ‘Superhero’ comic then make
it this one. Start with the first volume of Ultimate Spider-Man
and steadily read through each collection and you’ll see exactly
why I give it such high praise.
The most remarkable thing about this comic is that the same creative
team has stuck together since this books inception. This has had
a profound influence in steadying and creating a classic run of
stories that is in the upper echelon of modern day super-heroics.
Mark Bagley’s [Hulk, Fantastic
Four] visuals are once again on song and in conjunction
with Bendis’ perfectly timed writing, bring together another
awesome chapter of this series. The introduction of an all new villain
and a deeper look into Peter’s relationships with both his
Aunt and his ex-girlfriend make this a great read, in addition we
also get to see a guest appearance by the Ultimate X-Men,
what more could you possibly ask for?
This comic is as safe as houses and always a thoroughly enjoyable
and thoughtful read.
Score 9/10
