Another chapter in the life of my favorite Ultimate Universe hero . . . Spider-man. I love this book. Brian Michael Bendis, as always, does a fantastic job with the stories. And, Stuart Immonen, taking over for the very talented Mark Bagley, has not skipped a beat in the visual department. This is a very appealing book . . . . to all the senses. We finished last issue with Peter and Norman falling to their deaths out of the window of Norman's penthouse. When he was in the Triskelion, he used up all his web fluid trying to escape Carol Danvers. She was using him as bait to draw Norman out. He had recently escaped from the Triskelion, so she arrested Peter and put him in. Although, it wasn't a very good plan. When you say it like that. However, Peter did find him in his penthouse. After a scuffle they both go flying out the window. Luckily for Peter, Kitty was watching on the news, saw what was happening and came to his rescue. But in the process, Norman seems to have disappeared. Peter and Kitty search for him for a while, to no avail, and Peter decides to go home. The scariest part of this whole story is when Peter finds Norman in his house and decides to have a casual conversation with him. Very surreal. Norman, in his freedom, had tried to use the media to spread rumors and lies about Nick Fury. He wants to take him down for what he's done to him. But, Peter and Norman's conversation is cut short when Carol decides to try to do the same thing. She gets Harry and puts him on national TV. You can see from Norman's eyes . . the S$%# is about to hit the fan now. This is easily the best title in the Ultimate Universe, and continues to be month after month. If you aren't reading it. . . you should. You'll fall in love with Spider-man all over again.
