  2. RoiVampire RoiVampire says:

    @mikeandzod21  YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  3. CaseyJustice CaseyJustice says:

    Dammit! I was gonna take a break from this book due to poverty, but Chris “Pimp Supreme” Samnee is on this issue? Fuck me.

  4. Spoons Spoons says:

    Is it just me or is this book coming out every other week?

  5. har13quin har13quin says:

    already loved this book. Samnee just made it the best book I buy. Probably.

  6. j206 j206 says:

    SAMNEE!

  7. PraxJarvin PraxJarvin says:

    Dammit. Samnee just kept this book from being dropped.

  8. Andrew Andrew says:

    Man, I love that they’ve been churning this out every 2 weeks for, like, the last 8 weeks. If they can keep this pace up, I won’t mind a little rotation on the art, especially since there artist selection has been fan-fucking-tastic!

  9. Samnee!!! Ult Spidey’s art has been amazing and this is another great addition to the creative team. 

  10. edward says:

    is it just me or is Chris Samnee totally wrong for this title?

    don’t get me wrong. he’s awesome. but doesn’t fit.

    sorry

  11. Franktiger Franktiger says:

    kinda weird

  12. i’ve never read ultimate spiderman before…i’m tempted to jump in with this…tempted….

  13. RoiVampire RoiVampire says:

    normally i’d say go for it, but this book is so good i’d rather you read the whole series… fuck it, jump in, this book kicks the shit out of every book on a monthly basis. do it

  14. @RoiVampire –yeah i’ve looked into it..its like 100000 volumes in trade. ha. 

    I’m expecting the pages to glow with revelation. 

  15. Mike Romo mikeromo (@rikemomo) says:

    I hate phrases like “the most talked about book of the year” — it makes me ill.  I love this book, it’s consistently awesome, and if this really IS the end of USM, it’s a total freaking travesty.

  16. CaseyJustice CaseyJustice says:

    @edward – I can see that. He’s got a couple of different styles, so it’ll be interesting to see what he brings to this book. That said, as much as I love Samnee, I could see it being a mis-match.

    If he brings his Thor: MA game, I think it’ll be killer.

  17. Jdudley says:

    If this really si the end of Ult. Spidey I think I’ll be more upset than I ever have been for the end of a series. This 150 plus issues amounts to my favorite run on a superhero book of all time. However, if it ends strong I’ll always be happy to own and revisit this masterful run.
    In fact, Bendis has been building toward Spidey having to eventually “move on” to something new (perhaps Ultimates or SHIELD related) for years. I really can’t wait to see what happens
    (and yes, Samnee on this book is just icing on the cake)

  18. RoiVampire RoiVampire says:

    This was a great great issue. my only complaint is the cover. i would have much prefered a cover by Samnee of peter swinging in front of the daily bugle or something versus the cover we got which features tons of villains that aren’t even in the issue

  19. Paul Montgomery PaulMontgomery (@fuzzytypewriter) says:

    Samnee knocked it out of the park. 

  20. RoiVampire RoiVampire says:

    @PaulMontgomery  that he did. loved the scene in jonahs office

  21. This is why I like USM! Great character work and dialogue by bends and awesome character acting by Samnee! This was a home run. My POW. Was not surprised to see that other ifanboy readers made it the POW

  22. Spoons Spoons says:

    Major props to Samnee.  This was a absolutely great issue on all fronts.

  23. j206 j206 says:

    Does anybody know who the blonde who was with Johnny Storm at Pete’s party was? Also the tall dude in the background next to Aunt May. It’s bugging me that I can’t figure it out.

  24. RoiVampire RoiVampire says:

    the blond was Sue Storm, the tall guy might be ben grimm. don’t have the issue in front of me

  25. justderek justderek says:

    Don’t have previous issues in front of me – have Samnee, Pichelli, and La Fuente all used the same color/ink teams? ‘Cos while they’re all very distinct, there’s been a real visual continuity to the series despite having three pencillers (or more?) over the last few months.

    Fave think about this issue: Kitty’s Lockheed tee.

  26. Franktiger Franktiger says:

    @edward  actually agree with you now, except he does a good JJJ.

  27. PaulSharkey PaulSharkey says:

    @Franktiger I agree accept for the hat. What’s with the hat?

  28. RoiVampire RoiVampire says:

    @PaulSharkey  i thought it was pretty clear he was wearing the hat to hide his scars from the bullet he took a few issues ago. JJJ has worn the hat throughout the series but always outdoors with a trenchcoat, never in the office until now

  29. This issue was amazing. I’m really hoping Peter doesn’t die anytime soon.

  30. Jediaxle Jediaxle says:

    The one panel of MJ at the party is perfect.  My wife looks at me funny because I said yes outloud when I saw it.

  31. KidKaboom says:

    Brian Michael Bendis, you son of a bitch.
