Spider-man Vs Kingpin!

Little scrawny dude verses fat gigantic mobster.

Bendis really hits his stride here as he shows Peter figuring out how to fight crime. Not only is Peter still learning but I love how many fuck ups he has. Losing to regular gangsters sometimes, villains putting him in extremely bad situations, and fights getting brutal. Oh and Kingpin? Goddamn is he a villain in here.

First let me state Bendis writes Peter and MJ so perfect it's SO FUCKING CUTE. I love them as friends and we know they'll be lovers soon. The last issue especially is PERFECT Spider-man comic. But the Kingpin stuff is also great. How Peter gets a job is a little too convenient for me but the rest really works. I also really enjoy the humor as I usually have issues with how most people write Peter's jokes but here they work.

Yeah, Ultimate Spider-man is becoming such a nice re-read now that I'm finished with volume 2. I can't wait to keep reading. A 5 out of 5.
