With the "Ultimate" universe, Marvel gave license to some of today's top comic writers to create modern versions of many of the classic Marvel superheroes. With the Ultimate Spider-man series, writer Brian Michael Bendis was tasked with re-telling the story of one of the most popular and be-loved fictional characters ever created. Talk about a daunting assignment.

Personally, I was sick of grown-up Peter. Married to MJ, screwing his whole life up.
Let's rewrite the whole history and see what happens, hm?
Bendis and Bagley have created a gem in Ultimate Spider-Man. This volume starts things off with a bang. The series remains true to some of the key elements that made Spidey such a hit in the beginning, but adds some much needed "oomph" to the story and appeals to a much wider audience.

An earlier review says that this (and the rest of the Ultimate series) is a copout from Marvel that alienates readers who have been fans for years.

I bought the hardcover because of all the hype. It's sat on my shelf for a long time while I read things of higher priority. I'm coming off of Warren Ellis's Planetary series (first volume, which is excellent. Not much can compare to that fine work, but this is an entertaining read nonetheless.
I must admit that I have only read half of the work. However, I can that the art is solid but not spectacular. The dialouge is believable and at times cute. Bendis works well with tweaking existing characters ... Read More
