Ultimate Spider-Man #126So, this is Brian Michael Bendis' 126th issue of Utimate Spidey and can I just say that when this book hit stores way back in 2000, right when Tobey donned the wall-crawler's iconic blue and red duds, I thought this book wouldn't make it to issue #13. Boy, was I wrong.
Bendis continues to write Ultimate Spider-Man with a love that is not seen with most writers. Issue #126 while eventful (Spidey-Venom kicks the crap outta most the Ultimates...except Thunder God, Thor) seems to serve as only a stepping stone to a greater storyline that one can only imagine to be "Ultimatum."
With the revelation revealed in "Ultimate Origins" last week, it would seem that Nick Fury has known Peter Parker for more time than previously thought. Without giving away any spoilers, lets just say that I heard what happens in Origins #4 and I now want to read it.
#126 is a good Ultimate Spider-man issue but the art of Immonen seems to have become increasingly muddled. I'm speaking mostly of the apparent butchering that is Nick Fury's face. To put it lightly, Fury looks to be modeled after a dump that someone decided to draw a face on, give it a goatee and make it blind in one eye (hence the eye patch). The same could be said for most of the other characters but I feel Fury looks the absolute worst.
Bendis has consistently delivered on this book and deserves a little leeway with these last few issues. It must be hard to keep all the stories straight when you write 11,174 books for Marvel at one time.
4/5 stars
