Ultimate Comics Spider-Man #6

Once again I'm simply blown away by how much fun this series is. Bendis and Lafuente do a brilliant job of bringing these characters to life with a great deal of personality that is unlike any other teencentric comic that I've read in years. There are very few flaws in this issue and all of them are more than made up for by this issue's strengths. Read Full Review

It's still clear sailing for Ultimate Spider-Man as it follows through with its new status quo after the relaunch. Bendis is bringing established characters together in new ways and bouncing them off one another enjoyably.
