Gwen's back!!!...kinda

Ultimate Spider-Man #127 Review
So, the last issue of USM had Spidey fighting off Venom and for a short time repossessed by the symbiote until the Ultimates show up and trap the symbiote for good. In this issue, Eddie Brock finds Peter at school and threatens to reveal the secret indentity of Spider-Man if Peter doesn't get it back. Before all this though, the Triskillion is attacked and Carnage/Gwen Stacy escapes.

The entire issue is almost completely dedicated to Peter doing research on Roxxon and Trask Corporations and thinking to himself. Normally in comics this isn't a good thing, but Bendis is able to do just that and make the story interesting.

One interesting thread introduced in the story is Ben Urich spying on Peter's research. This could lead to some great interaction between Peter and Urich (as a reporter of sorts, I always enjoy reading about Urich).

The issue ends how we all knew it would...Peter comes home and Carnie-Gwen is waiting for him. Who didn't see that one coming?

But here's what I'm thinkin'. Brock wants the symbiote back, right? Peter can't get it back since it's heavily protected plus why the heck would he? Gwen was the coolest character in the book until she died very suddenly and...well...stupidly. So...BAM...Brock gets the symbiote from Gwen and we get a clone of Gwen and life goes back to semi-normal...YEAH! I really want that to happen since I'm a big Gwen Stacy lover, but it really can't since that would just be stupid (it is comics though).

I guess we'll just have to see. So, until then USM #127 gets

4/5 stars
