Ultimate Spider-man #114 - Marvel


Another fantastic issue in the ultimate Spider-man series. I meant that . . . as a play on words there. Anyways, fantastic book. Anybody who was afraid of the creative change . . . can put their fears to rest. This book is in as good of hands as ever. Norman has broken out of the Triskellion and took a whole bunch of baddies with him. You know of course that he's going to come after Peter. But . . . first he's decided to try to take down Nick Fury. He is, after all, responsible for his humiliation and incarceration. But that doesn't mean that Peter's not going to have plenty to do to keep himself busy. This issue, in his search for Norman, he comes across Electro. This is their first meeting, so he doesn't really know what to expect. But, between himself and SHIELD, they end up taking him down. The only problem is . . . SHIELD also sees Spider-man as a threat . . . so they take him down also. On the last page of the book Peter wakes up in a cell that looks much like the one we saw Norman in a few issue ago. We don't really know where Nick Fury is right now. But, if I was SHIELD, I'd be more worried about Norman. When he finds out where Peter is, he's not going to let anything stand in his way of getting to him. Fantastic story by Bendis. And anyone that was worried about Stuart Immonen taking over for Mark Bagley . . . can "fugedaboutit". This series has stayed right on track. And I don't see it missing a beat any time in the near future.
