Ultimate Spiderman #95 - Marvel

As I've stated before, I love these Ultimate titles. Especially, this one. Bendis and Bagley are truly the team supreme. I honestly don't think I've read a single dud in this whole series yet. And right now, with the love interest between Peter Parker and Kitty Pryde, they are definitely breaking some new ground. Bendis has a way of working in new ideas, or shaking up the status quo, without making it feel forced. It just feels like the natural evolution of the story. Sure the history isn't the same as that of the regular Marvel Universe. But, who cares. These characters are fresh and upbeat. The new Silver Sable, in the last couple of months was great. Now this story arc is going to reintroduce Blade and Morbius. But honestly, it doesn't matter who Bendis revamps for this universe, because they always end up fresh and with a new special twist. The interaction between Peter and Mary-Jane is always well written. Especially since they're both teenagers. Also in this issue Ben Urich is biten by a Vampire. Wonder where that part of the story's going. That's another part I really like about Bendis, there's always little bits and pieces of various subplots brewing underneath in each story. And I've never been a huge Mark Bagley fan, until this book. His artwork is perfect for book. If there's any books you've been thinking about going back and getting from the beginning, it's these Ultimate titles. I'm sure you can collect everything in tradepaperback form, but I'm a purist. Honestly Ultimate Spiderman, Ultimate X-men and the Ultimates, are easily some of the best books out there. If you can, get 'em all.
