Ultimate Spider-Man #106 - Marvel


First of all, what an awesome cover. This issue Peter is dealing with some of the aftermath of the whole clone thing. Also, with his house being destroyed, and now being under construction by SHIELD, under Fury's orders. What a nice guy. It looks to me like this Universe's Wrecking Crew is doing the construction. Also there's a nice little heart to heart with Peter, May and MJ. Remember during the clone storyline she found out Peter's secret. We find out this issue that the Kingpin owns all the global licensing rights to Spider-man. I don't know why, but he's decided to flood the market with merchandise. Also Peter and MJ are working on trying to get their relationship back on track. Peter still hasn't talked to Kitty. And MJ is giving him some grief about that. We also see the Ultimate FF this issue, as Peter and MJ have to go there to run some more tests on her, to make sure she's not going to have any more reactions to the OZ formula that got injected in to her. Later on, Peter is confronted by Daredevil, actually Matt Murdock, right outside his school. He's putting together a team to take down the Kingpin and he wants Peter to be on the team. Of course Peter's going to participate. But that won't be until next issue. In the meantime he has a bigger issue to address. Kitty Pryde has just transferred to his school and is now going to be in his classes. Oy-vey! Nice little love triangle we're going to have going on here. Just when you think Bendis and Bagley can't do anything more to surprise you, BAM!!!!, they throw you a curve-ball. I love this book. I believe this story arc is going to be Mark Bagley's final one. It'll be sad. But man, he and Brian have done a serious number of issues together. Congratulations guys on your long run. And it's especially impressive because they've managed to keep the story exciting and interesting for the whole time. I can't recall one boring story-arc in the whole series. Good job guys! And Thanks!!!
