April 11, 2007
I am a born and bred DC Comics fan. A few years back, some friends kept bugging me to try Ultimate Spider-Man and I kept blowing it off. Finally, I saw this collection of the first few books for a decent price, and it's praise is well earned.
For those that don't know, the Marvel Ultimate Universe sort of re-interprets many of it's popular properties, with Spider-Man being the longest... more

By: Brian Michael Bendis

February 25, 2009
Ultimate spiderman volume 21 is probably the best volume so far. In the previous books we saw young Peter Parker battle against venom and then against carnage. SUPRISE their both back. The greedy Eddie Brock is after the suit while the whole world is about to start a war to get their hands on it. This book features an Epic fight with Nick Furry, Spiderman, Venom, Carnage, Captain America, and Thor... more

| 5. Ultimate Spider-Man, Vol. 20: Ultimate Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends |

By: Brian Michael Bendis

September 17, 2008
When I was little, I used to watch the 80's cartoon "Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends." So when I saw the title to TPB #20, I was so hoping that Bendis was going to create some kind of throwback, one-off substory that would give us a quick shot of the 80's cartoon in Ultimate form.
No such luck. As you've probably read from other reviewers, #20 focuses mainly on Pete's angst-filled... more

| 6. Ultimate Spider-Man Vol. 1: Power and Responsibility |
|
By: Brian Michael Bendis
Publisher: Marvel Comics
August 19, 2009
Spider-Man's continuity has gotten so long and epic--and been retroactively rebooted a few times--that you can be forgiven if you don't have it all entirely straight. None of that matters with Ultimate Spider-Man, a comic book series begun in 2000 by writer Brian Michael Bendis and artist Mark Bagley. The two took Stan Lee and Steve Ditko's classic origin story and tweaked it slightly to modernize... more

March 18, 2009
Bendis continues to deliver the goods. His remains the most consistently entertaining and true-to-character Spider-Man. This collection is a little lighter, and a little more fun, than the dramatic stories that bookend it (War of the Symbiotes and the Clone Saga)... more

I know that dust cover material (other than the author bio(s)) is usually over the top. Well, in the case of this volume, they are way, way over the top. As we all know, this wasn't the end. The ending panels are classic "He's dead. Or is he?" "Jaw dropping"? Not even close. We do get to see what the "Ultimate Comics Spider-Man" world will look like: a cross between manga and cartoons. The first... more

| 9. Ultimate Spider-Man, Vol. 19: Death of a Goblin |
|
By: Brian Michael Bendis
Publisher: Marvel Comics
March 05, 2008
This nineteenth Ultimate Spider-Man trade paperback collects issues #112-117 of the Brian Michael Bendis-written Ultimate Universe comic book series. Penciler Stuart Immonen starts his USM run with these issues - I prefer longtime USM artist Mark Bagley's take on Peter Parker/Spider-Man and his associates. Peter has broken up with former X-Man Kitty Pryde and resumed his relationship with Mary Jane... more

By: Brian Michael Bendis
Publisher: Marvel Comics
September 01, 2002
This volume only improves on NO.1. The characters' personalities just grow more smoothly and the story is a lot more creative.
Pros or Improvements:
*Villains are more interesting. We didn't get much of an origin, but I liked these better than the vague Green Goblin.
*More Peter Parker and Mary Jane. These two characters get a lot more personality and chemistry... more
