Summary: Ultimate Spider-Man, Ultimate Collection
Review: This is a wonderful collection of the first two Ultimate Spider-Man story arcs (collected separately as Power and Responibility and Learning Curve).

This is the Spider-Man legend updated for the 21st century. If you like the movie, you'll probably really like this approach to Spider-Man. I think fans of Buffy the Vampire Slayer would also find a lot to enjoy here.

Peter Parker is a wonderfully human character. His reactions to gaining super powers aren't "perfect". He makes a lot of mistakes, but he learns and grows. This is why Spider-Man is so popular. Peter is undoubtably a hero, but he's a very human one. His heart is in the right place, but he still does mess up.

And his supporting cast is equally wonderful. Aunt May used to be a one-joke annoyance, but not here. And "Ultimate" Uncle Ben ... wow!

Brian Bendis's writing is sharp with fresh, real dialogue. And Mark Bagley's art is clean, crisp and tells the story well. I like this gawky-kid Spider-Man.

And this collection has been billed as a "DVD-style" special edition. It includes the original proposal for the series, notes, design sketches. And just so fans won't forget the classic and original Spider-Man, the hardcover volume reprints "Amazing Fantasy #15" -- the first appearance and origin of the true Spider-Man.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Ultimate Comic for the Comic Freak
Review: This review is based on just by the looks of it. It Features the first 13 issue's, Leather like blue cover under the "case cover". The "off-da-hook" art work is that of it's orginal issue's even with free peaks of sketch's featuring some friend's and foe's :) A must have comic "BOOK" Nuff Said

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Swing Into Ultimate Spider-man
Review: Ultimate Spider-man vol. 1 is probably the best book/comic that I've ever read because of all the action that's in it. There are quite a few major villains in it such as The King Pin, Electro, Shocker, and The Green Goblin. There are a few bad guys that aren't that important, but they play their part. They are Fancy Dan, Montana, and Ox. There are about three appearances of Dr. Otto Octavius known as Doc Ock. The best parts were when Spider-man fought all the villains and beat them and when all the villains were introduced. In the very first Spider-man comic (Amazing Fantasy) it only went to the part where he gets revenge on his Uncle Bens death, but this takes you further than the actual story. The reason that I picked this book/comic is because I like Spider-man and this takes you back to the beginning of it all, the starting point of Spider-man.
