Ultimate Spider-Man, Volume 5: Public Scrutiny
by Brian Michael Bendis
This is the best volume yet!
This gets to have Peter deal with bigger consequences than before. First off someone is pretending to be Spider-man. In doing so it tarnishes Spider-man's name and in a bloody result Peter is shot by the police. On top of that Gwen is not doing good and her family is breaking apart and so she begins to live with the Parkers. On top of that some fetal encounters, messy relationships, and a very angry teenager all come to a explosive result.
I loved the hell out of all the interactions. I also think the big plot points really helped build characters for everyone. MJ you feel for her, Peter? You feel for him. Gwen? You feel for her. Hard to balance so many characters but they do it. I also think some major shifts work well. One death came a bit sooner than I expected but the rest was great.
A 4.5 out of 5.
