Ultimate Spider-man #100 - Marvel


What an awesome book. And it's at 100 already. Also Bendis and Bagley are about to beat the old record, done by Lee & Kirby on the FF, of doing 102 consecutive issues with the same writer and artist. Props to Brian and Mark. Awesome job guys. This book has it all too. First we have the return of Peter's dad. Who also seems to be the one behind all these clones popping up lately. We also get some history about him and Eddie Brock, and how they came up with Venom. Now he's supposedly working for the CIA, and that's who's funding all his projects. Gwen Stacy is back. Or at least her clone. Well, that is until she gets upset and turns into Carnage. There's also a spider clone that's wearing the black costume. This one however is a girl, and has six arms. We also see that the Peter clone, the one with the melted face, is still in the Osborne factory getting ready to do some experimenting on MJ. The real one, I presume. At the end of the issue he turns her into something, but we don't get to see it yet. And there's still the Spider-Woman skirting around out there. We don't know who she is either. We also don't really know why Peter's dad has chosen now to return. An ominous picture is when they're in the kitchen and he says "Pizza". It seems to put Gwen and Peter both in a temporary trance. As if it's a trigger phrase. But if so, does that mean the Peter is a clone also? Man-o-man, there's a lot of questions coming out of these last few issues. We also get a little of the history of Richard and Mary Parker, and why they split, just before Mary boarded a plane that crashed. But now Fury and a SHIELD regiment stands outside their house ready to take them all in. That is until Gwen turns into Carnage, and goes jumping out the window. Also it looks as if May may be having a heart attack. So now, we're going into the next 100 issues on the edge of our seats. One of the best books out there. A must read, for everyone!!!
