great continuation of excellent series

This collects Ultimate Spider-Man issues 97-111. More of the same from Bendis and Bagley here - which is a very good thing. One of the most teen to adult accessible comics being written continues a stellar run. This marks the end of Bagley as artist, but Immonen comes in without missing a beat.
Two main arcs are portrayed in this collection. The first one has a rash of Spider-clones, of varying physical characteristics, tearing up Queens. It takes the assistance of the Fantastic Four and S.H.I.E.L.D. to put them down. Bendis continues to play with the 616 Universe mythos, altering the origins of the clone saga and even the powers of legendary villain Doctor Octopus. Throughout this struggle, Peter Parker remains a believable teenager dealing with crap he shouldn't have to. Some of the bits are predictable, such as the Richard Parker scenario, but others surprised me and will have long lasting effects - notably the Aunt May situation (will leave details out to avoid spoiling that).
The second arc deals with Daredevil recruiting various vigilante superheroes to bring down the Kingpin. The group is familiar to readers of the comic (DD, Doctor Strange, Moon Knight, Shang Chi, Iron Fist) but how it all goes down will surprise you. The pacing of this arc is a bit too quick for me - once the mole is revealed, it resolves rapidly. The exposition on motive is also a bit short and doesn't quite hit home. The highlight is Spider-Man standing up to Daredevil and imposing the limits on the group.
Overall an excellent collection that any Spider-Man fan should enjoy - and I continue to recommend this entire series for any new reader to comics. |
