Ultimate Spider-Man Omnibus Vol. 2 (Ultimate Spider-Man (2000-2009))

Product Information

Letztendlich war es Bendis´ Name, der mich zu diesem Omnibus greifen ließ, und ich habe es nicht bereut. When Zoe's friend falls victim to a female serial killer, Zoe vows to find the killer before the police and deliver her own razor-edged justice. But the clever assassin proves to be very hard to find as Zoe follows the trail of bodies and the few clues left behind. Using her own unique set of skills, Zoe eventually closes in on the killer until they come face to face for the final kill. Who will walk away? Find out in Terry Moore's newest suspense thriller featuring the irrepressible Zoe from Rachel Rising! Available in softcover and hardcover editions. Superstars (#66-71). Three team-ups that would really have fit better in Ultimate Team-Up (and there's a reason that series isn't making it into the omnibuses!). First up a Wolverine and Spider-Man body switch that would be hilarious if it weren't presented right on the heels of the tragic Carnage.

Seeing the Across the spider-verse movie got me feeling that I want to work myself up and be reintroduced to Miles Morales again. And with all stories we have to start at the beginning...

And so begins the read of the record-breaking longest collaboration on a run in Marvel comics between a writer/artist duo. And possibly the most famous and acclaimed run on Spider-Man, outside of the original Stan Lee and Steve Ditko. Bendis is one of the premiere architects of Marvel's "Ultimate" line: comics specifically created for the new generation of comic readers. He has written every issue of Ultimate Spider-Man since its best-selling launch, and has also written for Ultimate Fantastic Four and Ultimate X-Men, as well as every issue of Ultimate Marvel Team-Up, Ultimate Origin and Ultimate Six. Edge of Spider-Verse (2014) 1-5; Spider-Verse (2014) 1-2; Superior Spider-Man (2013) 32-33; Amazing Spider-Man (2014) 7-15; Spider-Man 2099 (2014) 5-8; Scarlet Spiders (2014) 1-3; Spider-Woman (2014) 1-4; Spider-Verse Team-Up (2014) 1-3; Free Comic Book Day 2014 (Guardians of the Galaxy) 1 (Spider-Verse story); Edge of Spider-Geddon (2018) 1-4; Spider-Geddon (2018) 0-5; Superior Octopus (2018) 1; Spider-Force (2018) 1-3; Spider-Girls (2018) 1-3; Peter Parker, the Spectacular Spider-Man (2017) 311-313; Spider-Gwen: Ghost Spider (2018) 1-4; Vault of Spiders (2018) 1-2; Spider-Geddon: Spider-Man Noir Video Comic (2018); Spider-Geddon: Spider-Gwen – Ghost Spider Video Comic (2018); Spider-Geddon: Spider-Man Video Comic (2018); Spider-Geddon Handbook (2018) 1 Omnibus: Spider-Verse/Spider-Geddon, Ultimate Spider-Man Vol 2, Serial So this was terrible. I was expecting something really different to this. I'm pretty sure I absolutely detest the ultimate universe, this confirms it. The old Stan lee stories were ten times better than this.

Fifth, his internal monologues save pretty much any story, by turns undercutting the ridiculousness and pomposity of villains, breathing life into exposition, and just riffing off whatever came into the writer's head. Ultimate Six (USM #46 + Ultimate Six #1-7). This was one of the first big Ultimate team-ups, and so it was great to see the Ultimates and Spider-Man together. Except it turns out they're barely on-screen at the same time, and when they are it's largely elided. Nonetheless, we get the Ultimates' view of the Spider-verse: what SHIELD has been doing with Spider-Man's villains and how Fury sees them as the first steps in a genetic war. That's all a pretty cool meeting of the worlds. Bref, le Volume 2 se concentre beaucoup plus sur les points forts de Bendis en tant qu'artiste que sur ces points faibles. Il y a bien quelques fillers, mais pas trop. (Et bon, quand on se rend au comic #71, il faut bien s'y attendre.) Sixth, the Marvel heavyweights who crop up - Fury, mutants, Fantastic Four, Ultimates - do so pretty much always in service of Spiderman's storyline, and while it feels like a definite power up when they share the action, they work alongside him to varying extents in a way that never feels crowbarred in. Irresponsible (#40-45). A pretty low-key volumes of USM. It's got a great expanding relationship among Peter, Mary, and Gwen. And it's got an interesting look into May's life. The story of a pseudo-mutant gone bad doesn't hold up to the rest until the X-Men join in, and then that becomes pretty delightful too. Not one of the most amazing volumes of USM, but interesting [4/5].

Success!

Second, he is a smart kid. The story doesn't shy away from the fact that Parker cherishes his not quite genius-level intellect even though on the surface his powers are basically super-athleticism. And with the smart comes the tragedy of the Spiderman: the recognition of a responsibility to do what you can with the powers available to you. If only there were a snappy aphorism to convey that.

I will continue to avoid the ultimate marvel universe like the plague. The only thing worse than this is Ultimate X-Men and if you like that there's something wrong with you. Though he started as a writer and artist of independent noir fiction series, he shot to stardom as a writer of Marvel Comics' superhero books, particularly Ultimate Spider-Man. I keep putting the costume on, don’t I? I keep putting my life in danger to help other people, and I swear to God I really have no idea why, I really don’t.”Bei aller Modernisierung hat Bendis an Peter Parkers Charakter festgehalten, der der unsichere Highschool-Schüler bleibt und mindestens soviel mit seinem Privatleben zu kämpfen hat wie als Spider-Man mit den Bösewichten; Ein sympathischer, tragischer Teenager, mit dem sich auch heute noch junge Menschen identifizieren können. Die Schule und die Bullies haben sich natürlich verändert, aber die Stimmungslage ist weitestgehend dieselbe geblieben. MJ und Gwen haben ihre Rollen tauschen müssen und die Kämpfe mit den albernsten Superschurken bleiben Spidey erspart (eine meiner Lieblingsszenen ist die, als Spidey mal wieder viel zu spät auftaucht um einen Superschurken zu stoppen und Iron Man den schon längst verarztet hat). Fourth, its about youth, and the painful desire to cling to innocence as well as an urge to develop maturity. There are plenty of sexy bodies on display, some absurd and sexist along the way, but perhaps (I can't say) balanced by a fair share of opportunity to ogle the Spiderman physique. The girls in his life are minor roles, but then again so are the boys, and at least the girls fight their own good fights. These initial 6 arcs contained within these 39 issues vary from good (slightly dated) to wonderful.

The second volume of Bendis’s character revamp on Spider-Man is just as solid as the first, with constant payoff to things built up over the course of several issues, pacing that puts the 60s to shame and changes that work and feel fresh yet familiar, he somehow finds the balance. Sorry to everyone who liked this, I really really really wanted to like it, but it just comes across with so little effort put into it. Learning Curve (#8-13). Bendis really take USM to the next level with his second arc, and that's likely in part because the training wheels come off: we no longer know what's going to happen. But we also really get Bendis at his best, mixing together Peter and a crime narrative. The brutal reality of Ultimate Peter's life as Spider-Man is terrific, and so is his quest to take down the Kingpin. Meanwhile, we get improving characterization of supporting cast as Peter joins the Bugle, and then a terrific entire issue focusing on Peter and Mary [5/5].The artwork is terrible (so bad it's on here twice) to the point that they draw Peter Parker posing like a girl in his pants wtf!
