If you haven't read Ultimate Collection Vol 1, then read that first: (Ultimate Spider-Man: Ultimate Collection, Vol. 1) If you have read Vol 1, then this is the next logical book to read. It contains two story arcs. The first is a Justin Hammer/Doc Ock/Kraven story, and the second is a Goblin story.The first story was a little all over the place. It seemed stretched and it was hard to keep track of everything. Too many plots were tied together, or at least Bendis tried to tie them together, but couldn't really succeed. It started very slow, but did get interesting as it went on. The interview seemed forced and unnecessary.The second arc was much better. It features the return of the Goblin, but it does not go as one might expect. The story is interesting, fresh, surprising, and exciting. Both stories feature classic troubles for Parker.Just like the first book, this one has excellent art. The characters look amazing and the colors are appealing. All the original covers are included, and some early sketches are in the back of the book.All in all, this is a strong book that is worth buying, but it is not as good as Vol 1.
Enjoyed this second year collection from the start of the Parker Ultimate Spider man run. Nice nods to Spider man events from the main Marvel universe, but the energy of the volume certainly fits the age of the characters.
I've typically stayed away from Spider-man's solo books because of my dislike for Peter Parker himself, but after a trip to the library had my son pick up this collection, I figured I might as well make my way through it as well.I have to say that the Ultimate Spider-man gives Peter Parker a much needed reboot. Obviously there's still the massive human element to the whole thing, which is part of what makes Spider-man so popular, but the amount of whining seems to have almost disappeared, at least during this early part of the series. In fact, Parker almost seems excited by the fact that he has these superpowers, even if they cause him endless troubles. I think it helps to have Mary Jane know about his secret identity right off the bat.This collection has a great deal of amazing stuff going for it. Enough, even, that I'm thinking I'm going to have to pick up the other collections for a read at some point...but I'm still not going to proclaim my love for Peter Parker...
It just keeps getting better and better. A really great story line that builds up. The series keeps you interested. I really don't know how they are able to keep the momentum going. Get this book.
Got this for my nephew. Very nice art, amazing colors and excellent print! Content is suitable for the young.
Great series (until the rebut which I can't rant about without massive spoilers)
