Side quest and out of place and Frigeri is missing so it's off for me.

Well executed story with many plots firing. Camp delivers a good one here and I'm liking this outing. Again Frigeri on art makes this book shine. He's synonymous with the Ultimates in my brain now.

Ultimates delivers good entertainment but if we don't have an internal schism soon and I'm not talking about Wasp's angle or a civil war. No uprising of society against its corrupt rulers has ever fired this well on all cylinders internally. Doom/Reed Richards' hammer(s) needs to fall way before the maker comes back. Still a good story with many heavy handed nudges but not enough to distract. Frig eri's art is fantastic and very detailed. Blee colors the heck out of it here.more

That ending turned me from being an annoyed reader to mildly interested but cautious. Let's see what happens but as ASM reader I've been disappointed before. I just don't want anymore clones for while. Michael Dowling on art was very good!

Why are we here yet again.? We can't go a few arcs without Peter/Spidey quitting and going through an existential crisis. It's repetitive nonsense at this point.

Kelly has Peter Parker/Spidey's voices down pat and it works. But Larraz on art set the bar way high. John Romita Jr is good but they are polar opposites and can't match in anyway. Still a fun issue that does the meat and potatoes well but we've seen this movie a thousand times already.

Kelly has the voice of Peter/Spidey down pat and it works. Fun issue but Larraz set the bar so high on art that John Romita Jr. can't match him. 2 polar opposites in every aspect. Both good but can't follow one with the other. Still it does the meat and potatoes of ASM well but we've seen this a thousand times already.

It's not bad. I actually was entertained. But we've seen this type of story a million times. Fighting while talking.

The hate on this one is a little much. I don't like JRJR or this would be a tad higher. This one was at least fun. It was a nice fight sequence, the banter at the beginning was good, and the inner monologue was decent. It's better than the prior run and I wish it was better, yes, but it's still not bad. Am I settling and accepting this? No, but I'll give a C when it's deserved. Overall average boo k. more

I think this is the weakest issue of this run. Not to say it's bad, it's still enjoyable read, but not on level of previous issues. Since it is mostly fighting.

I do like how well Kelly wrote Peter here. He seems to have a good grasp on his voice.

But JRJR was a disappointment. The blueprint is still there, I love how his makes the story move from panel to panel. It lacks foc us. But if his inker currently is undergoing cancer treatment, I can't be too hard on the art.more

I'm enjoying this book a lot more than I thought I would. Big up Joe Kelly! Pepe Larraz is aa big portion of that enjoyment because he delivered absolutely gorgeous art. Kudos to Marte Gracia on colors!

Is this really as bad as people are saying?
Or perhaps, the character is so popular that it is literally impossible to please everyone?

For the mean time, I'm enjoying this. It's not DC Absolute or Ultimate Spider-Man level but I don't feel it's bad as it's being made out to be.

I feel like people's reaction to everything these days is default negativity and expectatio ns of perfection.

I cannot stress enough that the art in this arc is phenomenal. There are some incredibly well composed pages in this issue that blow me away. The writing is solid too. The plot is coming together, I like how this all feels genuinely planned out unlike a lot of arcs under Lowe's tenure. There were subtle hints towards the reveal in this issue about what exactly was the cause of Rhino's poisoning in the previous issues, and if you picked up on them, it's so satisfying to have it confirmed.more

The art is perfect as usual. Storywise, I'm starting to see a direction, which is a huge improvement.

I never read Deadpool and spodey so this is my first exposure to itsy bitsy and I quite like her as a villain. Sort of like a spider-harley Quinn type. A little psycho, a lil freaky. This redesign of hers is pretty awesome. Maybe she can get an action figure now.

Solid issue, the action scenes are really good. Pepe larraz art is hitting and exceeding every expectation. Sometimes he draw s panels in sideways or upside down do you can turn the book and see from Peter's perspective. Its very cool.

Gotta say I never expected Norman being "good" for so long and their dynamic has reached a point where I enjoy seeing them talk. They've always had similarities eith their scientific minds so it's refreshing to have them tackle a problem together.

Kinda more interested in this stuff than whatever hellgate is but im open to see what Kelly comes up with. This run is 3/3 for me so far.

This story just works really well! I didn't care much for Itsy Bitsy back in Kelly's Deadpool/Spidey book but I'm glad he turned her mad dialogue down, gave her a better costume and she became a better character for it. Meanwhile Pepe Larraz is absolutely phenomenal!

This is a fun issue with. Lot of punch. The art is simply sublime and it teasing some good old fisticuffs to come soon.

The opening narrative is a little hard to follow but I read the description of Peter's dream as being a cool metaphor for his life as Spider-Man and his struggles. We'll see where it goes.
