Product Description:
This deluxe hardcover collects Ultimate Spider-Man Volume 15: Silver Sable and Ultimate Spider-Man Volume 16: Deadpool, plus extras. In Silver Sable, the head of Roxxon Oil sics the world's greatest mercenary, Silver Sable, on Spider-Man to learn why the web-spinner has targeted Roxxon on his nightly patrols. How violently Ms. Sable wants to handle the situation is strictly up to her. Spinning out of the Ultimate Spider-Man video game (written and designed by our longstanding team of Bendis and Bagley), Ultimate Silver Sable might be the most dangerous foe Spidey has ever faced! Plus: the mystery of Ultimate Omega Red! And in Deadpool, Spider-Man teams up with his new girlfriend - the X-Men's Kitty Pryde, who gets a new super-hero identity for when she's not hanging with her mutant mates! Plus: Meet the dangerous Ultimate Deadpool - and the Ultimate Reavers! It's mutant action guest-starring the Ultimate X-Men, with Spidey caught in the middle! Also featuring Ultimate Morbius! Collects Ultimate Spider-Man #86-96 and Annual #1-2.

I was a bit disappointed in the two story arcs in this volume. In the first story arc, the president of Roxxon Industries hires the mercenary Silver Sable to find out why Spider-man always seems to be saving his company from masked weirdos and villains. The story itself isn't so bad, but Silver Sable prances around in some kind of suit that looks like it was developed as the next stage in sumo gear. That takes a lot of the enjoyment out of reading the story.
The second story arc features ... Read More

Continuing the high quality that this series has seen, volume 8 covers issues 86-96 and annuals 1-2.

On the way, we pick up ultimate versions of all kinds of classic villains like the Rhino and Vulture.
It's an excellent read. The ultimate stories have, as a general course, included much stronger plotlines, deeper characters, and overall higher sophistication ... Read More

I really like the Ultimate line, It's excellent writing. Not Watchmen or Dark Knight Returns good. But some of the best stuff Marvels put out in quite awhile.

Like the above post, this is probably the worst of all the collected volumes. Neither of the main stories are really riveting, and they really lack a lot of the characterization and good writing of previous stories. In particular, the "Deadpool" arc is not done well. While a decent crossover, it lacks the development and character depth of previous stories.
The only good part is probably that the annuals are really, really good one-off stories. To me, the real star is Annual #2, which features Daredevil, ... Read More

I am a huge fan of Ultimate Spider-Man, but this volume is perhaps the worst to date. It really focuses on the relationship Spider-Man has with Kitty Pride, and I found that realtionship to feel very forced upon the reader. The development is not very natural, and this fact is very distracting. It is true that some elements are nice, and the two of them seem like they could be interesting together, but the development was rushed, and the romance seemed contrived. The X-Men crossover was nice, but the Silver Sable ... Read More
