Mysterio has had just about enough of Spider-Man, so he sends in the ULTIMATE SPIDER-SLAYER…and sends it right to Peter Parker’s school! All this and the mystery of the Shroud is finally revealed!! Join rockstars BRIAN MICHAEL BENDIS and DAVID LAFUENTE as we swing into the final chapter of this thrilling arc! Rated T …$3.99
Once again I'm simply blown away by how much fun this series is. Bendis and Lafuente do a brilliant job of bringing these characters to life with a great deal of personality that is unlike any other teencentric comic that I've read in years. There are very few flaws in this issue and all of them are more than made up for by this issue's strengths. Read Full Review
It's still clear sailing for Ultimate Spider-Man as it follows through with its new status quo after the relaunch. Bendis is bringing established characters together in new ways and bouncing them off one another enjoyably. USM has always been, far and away, the best, most consistent offering in the Ultimate Universe, and that looks to still be true even after the "Ultimate Comics" brand name has set in.

If it weren't for how good Ultimate Spider-Man once was, maybe this issue wouldn't seem poor in quality to me. But then, if its former greatness hadn't earned my loyalty, I frankly wouldn't be reading this series at all. Now, like perhaps an overly die-hard fan, I'm left waiting, hoping it gets back to being as good as it once was. Come on Marvel, please fix this before it's too late. Read Full Review
