This book was an incredible read. If you are a fan of Ultimate Spider-Man and Bendis, then this book is a MUST buy!
Bendis does sooo much to flesh out the Ultimate world in these 17 issues. It's his Spider-Man on adventures not told in Ultimate Spider-Man.
Spider-Man meets Wolverine, fights Hulk, confronts Daredevil and Punisher simultaneously, meets Iron Man, Dr. Strange, a hilarious encounter with the Fantastic Four, his first encounter with the Lizard and Man Thing, a scary encounter with Blade, a bizarre meeting with the X-Men, his relationship with Mary Jane reaches new levels, and so much more.
These comics are so well written and often hilarious and inciteful. They effect Ultimate Spider-Man and stories even crossover several times. Definitely a fun read and great book!
UPDATE: Bendis announced that the new "Ultimate Origin" was first touched upon in "Ultimate Team-Up #3" when Spider-Man battles the Hulk.

A wrong has been righted. This collection had previously only been available in hard cover which was out of print. So of course the marketplace sellers decided to triple charge the face value for people who really wanted this collection. This trade collects Ultimate Team Up 1-16 plus the Spidey Summer Special. So unless you grabbed the comics when they came out or shelled out for the hardcover, you couldn't get the whole collection. Marvel released 3 paperback trades for the series, but for some reason decided not to include 3 issues of the series. So those who purchased the 3 trades were not getting a full run. This trade finally fixes the problem.
