Despite a few annoying storytelling decisions, this issue of Ultimate Spider-Man is another winner.

Jameson is cool. But I hate what Bendis did to the Kong here. And also Peter is such a whore... From one girl to another... Hate it. And this timeline... He was already 15 at the beginning of the series, so the whole life of Ultimate Spider-Man is less, than one year? I hate it. The comic is nice, but all these things... By the way, the art isn't that bad.
