Genre: Superhero / Action / Adventure Year Published: 2000 Year Read: 2013 Series: Ultimate Spider-Man #1 Publisher: Marvel Comics Introduction: I have been growing up with “Spider-Man” ever since I was a child and so far, the only comic I had read from the “Spider-Man” series was “The Origin ...
There are essentially two storyline connected here. One is the nearly obligatory superhero-being-impersonated-by-criminals story. Easy enough for somebody to do with Spider-Man, especially since his reputation is already shaky. I've seen and read a lot of different versions of this story, and this o...
This is one of the big collections, the same as volumes 3 and 4. There was a lot more action than in volume 2, and the action here was more meaningful. Nick Fury's appearance was underwhelming.

Kong especially seems to have reverted into the dumb bully stereotype. There were a few homophobic remarks, but sadly that seems to be the easiest thing to p...
I loves me some Ultimate Comics. 'Ultimate Spider-Man', rightly so, was the flagship title of the whole deal back in 2000 when it was decided that 40 years of backstory was too much for anyone to just dive into. This 'rebooting' also allowed for the many inconsistencies and anachronisms that have bu...
