There really isn't much I can say about a book that's as near perfect as one can be. This issue Moon Knight goes in to his undercover role as an assassin attempting to audition for the Kingpin. The role he's chosen is Ronin. Pretty much exactly the same character as over in the Avengers book. And the Kingpin's test for him? Bring him Spider-man. Meanwhile there's a media frenzy around Peter's school because everyone from E.T. to Time Magazine, is trying to figure out who Spider-man really is. They think they have it narrowed down to the High School that Peter goes to, but they don't really know if it's a student, Faculty or staff. But Spider-man, and Spider-man related incidents keep popping up around the area. And too often to be coincidence. So while Peter is worried about that, he's also trying to play it cool around MJ, because he knows that Kitty, now a student there, is keeping a constant eye on him. And he doesn't want to make her feel any worse than he already does. But then Moon Knight . . . er Ronin, hot-wires a bus and drives it crashing in to the school. Basically he just wants to get Spider-man's attention and call him out. It works. They fight, brutally. But eventually Ronin does beat him and now he's on his way to deliver him to the Kingpin. I really do love this book and this character. I really like how everything is the same as in the Marvel Universe, but . . . not. But it'll be interesting to see how it goes when we get our creative change. But the key word there is change. And change is good. In fact it's what the Ultimate universe is really all about.
