Product Description: Sam Bullit is running for Mayor of New York City on an anti-Spider-Man campaign, and Daily Bugle Editor-in-Chief J. Jonah Jameson is backing him 100%. But who is pulling Bullit's strings? None other than the Kingpin of Crime!
We Asked for Cats, and We Received Lionesses ^ Bendis's introduction to Black Cat and Elektra is more than I could ask for. Who knew that I could get a good catfight out of this chapter? Bendis writes these like a soap opera. There's always a teeth-clenching problem and by the end I'm dying to know what happens. Especially in this book. Prepare yourself for the best cliff-hanger yet, because it ends on a climatic note.
Mary Jane and Peter get more intense.
Black Cat and Elektra are beautiful and full of a cat-like fever.
The Kingpin's story is revitalized and is more readable than ever.
Keep reading! It gets better :)
Typo??? ^ Did anyone else see that when Ben Urich was interviewing Sam Bullit "on July 9th at 4:40 in the afternoon" Peter was getting suspended from school?
Spidey Meets Kingpin ^ But the nice treat here is Spidey meets Black Cat and the super tough villain, Elektra. Black Cat is really playful and is a great character to keep Spidey occupied since he broke up with MJ.
Graphic SF Reader ^ Spider-Man gets fired for disagreeing with JJJ when he backs the campaign of a DA who is a Kingpin shill.
Spidery and the Kingping [...] heads several times, and he meets the Black Cat, daughter of a guy Kingpin has shafted, as she steals something he was going to use to try and help his sick wife.
Elektra gets in on the fun as the Kingpin hires her to get rid of the Cat.
The Enforcers show they are losers yet again.
the black cat is smoking hot... ^ 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. plus the issues where the ultimates come in aren't that great, the whole series gets hijacked by them and not a lot of spidey. imo, the ultimates are easily the worst part of the ultimate universe. beyond ultimate spider-man and the ultimate fantastic four the ultimate universe isn't too great. 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.
