Ultimate Spider-man #132 - Marvel

I can't believe there's only a couple more issues left on this title. 2 actually. Issue #133, and then after Ultimatum, Ultimate Spider-man Requiem. That really sucks. I love this book. This issue, the dialogue between MJ and Kitty was fantastic. They're together on top of a building, with Kenny and Gwen, and they're all worried about Peter. Of course they're also dumbfounded because of all the destruction around them. Right now I think they all think it's all a little bit surreal. Obviously they don't know what to do, so they start taking it out on each other. It's funny that Kenny is the one that has to be the voice of reason. Meanwhile, Peter is off trying to put a lid on all the stuff that's been let out of Dr. Strange's house. The round window on is roof is actually a mystic seal. It is a ward that keeps all the bad stuff inside the house. Especially the Orb of Acmantata. Anyways, during all of this destruction . . the seal was broken. So now all form and manner of demon have been let loose into the world. This issue, Peter and the Hulk have to deal with some guy who's possessed Dr. Strange and feeds off of other's fears. So he's purposely trying to antagonize Peter and the Hulk so that he can feed richly off of their emotions. Peter's just trying to keep up with everything that's being thrown at him, but in the end . . the Hulk just can't take it anymore. He goes directly after the source and starts violently smashing him. The issue ends with what looks like a giant purple atomic fire-ball, with lightning shooting out of the clouds, erupting directly over the spot of real-estate that they're all occupying. It's enough of an explosion that the survivors all over town have seen it . . Spider-woman, Aunt May, and Peter's friends up on the rooftop. Personally, I think Brian Bendis has just done a fantastic job with this series right from the get-go. I've loved the character development and dialogue throughout this entire series. I don't know how it could've been any more perfect. I was sad when Mark Bagley left. He definitely helped to define and set the feel for this book. However, since his departure, Stuart Immonen has done a more than stellar job. This book has never missed a beat. There hasn't been a single issue that I wasn't thrilled to death with. And now it's over. Almost! I can't believe it! I don't know what else to say. I'm really gonna miss it!

Hold the phone! I was just doing some digging around and it looks like the Ultimate Universe is going to be relaunched in August. The Requiem books come out in July. And then . . August 5th there's an Ultimate Comics Spider-man #1 slated for release. It's by Brian Bendis and David Lafuente. Then, the following week, there's an Ultimate Comics Avengers #1 on the schedule.It's by Mark Millar and Carlos Pacheco. On the right is the cover for the Avengers, but they don't have one listed for Spider-man yet. This is probably because . . there's hints that Spider-man may be . . someone different.
