Ultimate Comics Spider-Man: Death Of Spider-Man Omnibus [New Printing]

The book came in good time as advertised. I stopped reading Ultimate Spider-man a while ago. I heard that they were officially killing Peter Parker in it, though Spider-man would continue on through someone else. They also said that Green Goblin kills him and he dies heroically. Curiousity got the best of me and I got the book. The first few pages tell me a lot of what I've missed in the story, so I was able to catch up some without reading back history. As I went through the book, I gained a grudge for Capt America. That man openly says he voted against Peter and frankly doesn't like him for a number of reasons. I'd question the justification for Capt even being the one talking to Peter there if he's so against the kid. I wouldn't want someone with that bias there. Anyway, eventually Peter takes a nasty hit for the Capt and wakes up later alone with the wound untreated. He goes through the rest of the comic, fighting bad guys and what have you, with that wound and blood loss. That appears to be what really killed him, the fights and everything later just added to it. So ultimately, Capt America is at fault for ditching him. I'd even say The Avengers and Fury are at fault for that entire situation. Parket's death is well enough, it was well done. Of course, nobody in any discussion board I've found is all that impressed because Marvel is known for resurrecting characters, and this isn't even the main Peter Parket/Spider-man universe. Still, it's a good book and a good read. It combines several comics into a continuous story.

I have always liked the Ultimate Marvel Universe and in particular the Ultimates. The Ultimates Omnibus I never really got into Ultimate Spider-Man. I read here and there over the years but decided to check this out because of all the hype. I was loyal to the traditional Marvel interpretation of the character. This is an awesome Spider-Man tale and worthy of your attention and money. Brian Michael Bendis is a great writer. He has penned some pretty cool tales in the Marvel Universe. Check out his Avengers work Avengers, Vol. 1 His work in the Ultimate branch of Marvel has been pretty cool. The Ultimate Universe allows you the freedom traditional Marvel Continuity does not and thats why I really like it. Its not constrained. They do what they want in that branch of the Marvel Universe and at times its controversial but its cool. If you want controversial check out Ultimatum and you will see what I am talking about Ultimatum (Marvel Premiere Editions) Peters goes out like hero. It was like watching a movie. I highly recommend that after you read this check out the adventures of the new Ultimate Spider-Man Miles Morales which is becoming a legendary run in my opinion.

I’ve always been a big fan of the ultimate line, even though it does have some lows, BUT Spider-Man was not part of those lows and neither was this final arc! The book came in amazing condition, shrink wrapped too!

Having been a late-comer (by about 25 issues or so) to Ultimate Spider-Man wayyyy back when, in the olden days, this storyline truly brings the series full circle. It started with the Goblin and Spider-Man, and it sure as heck ended that way. I appreciated this storyline, and for a variety of reasons. It was a truly fitting end to Peter Parker in the Ultimate-verse-place-thing. A child became a man in his darkest hour, and subdued his first, and greatest foe. Furthermore, I enjoy reading comics that hit me emotionally. That's always been the allure of Marvel...humanize these characters so that folks relate to them. All of the players in this arc are emotionally charged so precisely by Bendis, I won't lie...I reached for the Kleenex at the end. Finally, It had to end this way. Peter v. Osborn (who doesn't wear pants for a disturbingly long time in this book). That was the only way this Peter Parker was going to learn that "...with great power comes great responsibility". To make that ultimate (ha-ha) sacrifice, to truly learn responsibility, you have to give something of yourself. Bendis molded Peter into a hotshot kid who wore some tights and used the tools at his disposal to aid others, but you got the sense along the way, he was still playing around. Once he realized how high the stakes truly were, that Osborn could make good on his threat, did he mature enough to go out like Tupac, take some gunfire, and still put out a record the very next week... or in Peter's case, win the day, and sacrifice himself. Reading this story, I get the impression that Bendis probably figured out how he wanted to extinguish Peter's flame long before he even thought about molding the 212-characters into the Ultimate-verse. Lest we forget, Mark Bagley's role in this thriller. Top-notch and sensational artwork from one of the most venerable Spidey artists. Between him and Bendis, after 150+ issues together, they read each others thoughts and craft a masterpiece. Hats off to all involved, you've killed Spider-Man. And you've done it perfectly. 5 stars..."I love it". Peace.

Couldn’t pass up this deal. Omnibus for half the price? No brainer

Tout en haut de la tour de Marvel Comics, il a été décidé que l'Ultimate Comics Spider-Man devait disparaître. Contrairement à bien d'autres personnages de l'univers "Ultimate", l'Ultimate Peter Parker avait pourtant survécu à l'Ultimatum. Les "exécuteurs des basses oeuvres" commis d'office sont Brian M. Bendis (scénariste unique des 160 numéros d'Ultimate Spider-Man) et Mark Bagley (dessinateur co-créateur du personnage). Bagley, autant vous le dire tout de suite, est pour moi un dessinateur sans génie ni élégance. Un tâcheron, en somme. Sauf qu'en cette occasion, il "fait le métier" en se surpassant. Car quitte à expédier l'Ultimate Parker/Spider-Man ad patres, un minimum de considération a été mobilisé. Ainsi, bien que méprisé - voire suspect - au regard des Ultimates tout occupés à une bataille dont Mark Millar a le secret, Peter/Spider-Man sauve un héros majeur du monde "Ultimate" au prix d'une mauvaise banderille qui lui sera d'autant plus fatale qu'il lui faudra affronter le pire des super-villains que le S.H.I.E.L.D. n'a pas su contenir. Une méga-menace qui plus est acoquinée avec 5 autres des "nemesises" d'Ultimate Spider-Man pour une nouvelle version - "Ultimate" - des Sinister Six. Dans ce contexte, l'appui des seuls deux potes de notre héros, le gamin-torche et le gamin-glaçon, bien qu'appréciable, se révèlera hélas de peu de poids. Sans parler des tentatives désespérées et poignantes venues de l'entourage strictement homo sapiens sapiens de Peter Parker. Ce terrible final, remarquablement maîtrisé, est une nouvelle illustration de ce que l'on nomme "victoire à la Pyrrhus".
