Product Description

Peter and his Aunt May have perhaps the most important conversation of Peter's life. It's a gut-wrenching, emotional roller coaster you'll never forget. And Spider-Man is on the call when there is a huge explosion in the side of the Triskelion - the side housing superhuman criminals. From the acrid smoke emerges a man seething with vengeance - a man who wants Peter Parker dead! That man is Norman Osborn, the Green Goblin! And for the web-spinner, things are about to get out of control! The artistic baton is passed from longtime penciler Mark Bagley to stunning new ongoing artist Stuart Immonen, of Ultimate X-Men and Ultimate Fantastic Four fame! Collects Ultimate Spider-Man #112-117.

Customer Reviews

The Clone Saga done right.
Ultimate Spider-man is a fantastic book series to begin with. Couple that with the fact that Bendis took one of the most notorious stories in comic book history and fixed it... well, you just need to read it. The volume contains what would take two trade paperbacks to hold and it looks good on a shelf. Of course it looks best next to the other eight volumes of the series, but you get what I mean.

Best USM in a while
The opening of the book is a nice change of pace from the recent clone craziness, but it all comes together for one of the most memorable USM endings ever.

Stuart Immonen's art is fantastic! It seems much more emotive than his work on Nextwave and suits the book to a T. He's even controlled his habit of giving women giant, bouffant, 80's hair [for the most part]. Personally, I like his stuff here better than Bagley's, which, while always being reliable and consistent, tends to sometimes lack energy and excitement.

Ten thumbs up! Buy this if you want a great Spidey read!

Why the duplicate book?
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.
