  Major Spoilers - Stephen Schleicher

  Jan 29, 2011

  With THE DEATH OF SPIDER-MAN drawing ever near, I was hoping we'd see faster storytelling with lots and lots of action. Instead, there's a lot of relationship babble, and save for a quick one panel appearance, we only get to see Peter as Spider-Man on the very final page of the issue. Bendis is a very good writer, and if he's trying to really target those that favor relationship drama, then he nailed it with this issue. And if younger readers really are gung-ho for manga art, then this issue nailed it as well. Unfortunately, most of the Ultimate Spider-Man reading audience are no longer the teenagers who started reading this series oh so long ago. Unless you are a completist, you can probably skip this issue and wait for the next exciting installment. Read Full Review
