First off, LOVE all the Ultimate Spider Man books. Got em all, great stories by Bendis as well as great art... My only problem with this Volume is why did they release that skinny, smaller version a couple of months ago? I thought that it would be like a side story, then continue in Vol. 9. That sucks. So now I have all the Ultimate series on my shelf looking all prestine and sweet then I have this small, skinny SpiderMan and a couple Marvel Zombie books that weren't the same size.... I know, small gripe.
Overall though, this has got to be one of my favorite stories.

It wouldn't always be easy for the artist taking over from one who has become so well known to followers of a comic book and being a fan of bagley's work I was wondering if I would enjoy the book as much with a different artist, but I'm glad to say I still loved it. Stuart Immonen does a great job and I would even say that it's easier to tell who's who with the girls now. I always had trouble in previous storys with being able to tell the difference between Gwen Stacy and Sue Storm and sometimes between Kitty and the Spider-Woman clone. Anyone with the same hair color and length looked the same to me.
Anyway Immonen did a good job and it didn't take me long to get used to his style.
I also thought it was a great story and enjoyed seeing Peter and Kitty talking to each other again.

Everything up to the last three pages felt great. Seeing green goblin back is always kick@$$ but i really had a problem with the ending. I thought it could of been done much better. Also the new art isn't nearly as good as the old but I'll live.

I bought this volume (19) on the basis of other readers' recommendation and that it involved the Green Goblin, who is one of my favourite villians in the Spiderman world.
This is the first book drawn by Staurt Immonen who has taken over from the long running artist Mark Bagley, whose illustrations in the Ultimate Spiderman series I simply loved. I was sceptical of the changeover and I have to admit while Immonen's art is good and he does draw excellent background and fluid motion, the way he draws the faces of Peter Parker, MJ, Aunt May, seems to be lacking in detail, kinda of watered colours, lack of expression compared to Bagley. That was the only weak point for me, otherwise a great book. I would recommend it!

My teen-aged son is a major Spider-man fan. He loves the movie series and the graphic novels. The Ultimate graphic novel series is his favorite. The writing and story line are very good and the art work is excellent.
