It Gets Better, and Better, and Better!!! Legacy is the best yet I have read of the series. When the new Green Goblin was first presented to me, I felt a little skeptical, but they have really blown me away with the gravity of this character. Norman Osborn is an evil evil villain, and Spider-man has scary consequences from now on. Legacy definately carried on the series and made me an Ultimate Spider-man collector.
Other great things this chapter offers; a great cameo that promises returning in chapters ahead, the love triangle between Mary Jane and Gwen Stacy is like a soap opera for us guys(in a good way), and Spider-man really gets serious and swings into some tough fights. I always enjoy Spidey on an angrier note as opposed to the comedic thug-puncher. Just you wait till the next volume. The story grows into tragic disaster!
Spidey Fights Green Goblin Again But this is a bigger fight than in first issue. Nick Fury and Shield shows up to help Spidey. I really have a problem with Green Goblin being like the Hulk? Every villain is basically bulked up except for Spider-Man. There is a scene on the bridge with Goblin and Mary Jane and Spider-Man which looks eeringly similar to the death of Gwen, well somewhat similar. Another scene where Goblin battles Spidey at Osborne mansion looks like a scene from the movie but not entirely.
Volume 4 continues the amazing storyline I agree with the other reviews here, the story is beautifully written, artwork is amazing and the reboot of Spidey keeps improving with each volume. I loved that the Goblin has been refined into a hulking green "mini-hulk" (as one other reviewer put it) and he is very scary and twisted, blowing away the version played in the Spiderman movie). Dialogue is excellent, you need to re-read it a couple of times to get the sutblities but its worth it. I give this volume top marks!
Graphic SF Reader Here, Harry Osborn is back at school. His father is not a nice crazy green mini-hulk kind of guy. Nick Fury puts in an appearance at Peter's high school at tells young Spidey they are watching the whacko.
They are illegally spying on him and know that he has threatened violence and mayhem and murder, but they are waiting for him to do it publicly with evidence, so web-boy is on his own until then.
kitty pryde...cooler than mj! ultimate spider-man by bendis and bagley is one of the best series out there. not as much action and non-stop bad guy fighting, but a good mix of that and a lot of peter parker being a teenager with problems (girls, bullies, being grounded, etc.) along with his spidey life. the series is great great great. only a few minor things that could be better: 1. i don't like how nick fury comes in and tells spider-man he's going to work his whole life for him and shield. the idea of peter being...trapped in a web? haha...well it isn't too cool. superheroes need to fight the good fight because they want to, not because shield will go and take away their superpowers (as fury has threatened) if they don't comply. 2. bendis needs to cut down on the tuchas talk. seriously if parker grew up in nyc today he'd more likely speak spanglish than yanglish. 3. geldoff.
