    Ultimate Spider-Man #22 is a powerful, character-driven transition that perfectly sets the board for an explosive finale. It delivers high-stakes drama, wonderful emotional moments, and a fantastic new Superior Otto dynamic. Read Full Review

    Ultimate Spider-Man continues to have some of Hickman's most human writing, and Chechetto's skill with character acting enhancing that. Plus a black cat on a page turn has never been more foreboding. Read Full Review

    Ultimate Spider-Man #22 sets the stage for the series' final act with strong momentum, sharp character work, and a few surprising twists that deepen the mythos. Hickman and Chechetto continue to deliver world-class storytelling, even if the constant time jumps risk shortchanging the quieter beats. As the end approaches, it's clear the creative team is steering toward an ambitious, emotional conclusion one that feels both inevitable and unpredictable. Read Full Review

    This is an issue that I wouldn't put at the top of my reading list, but would rather set aside and come back to in another issue or so to fully grasp it's relevance. Because right now it just feels like a filler issue to get to the next story point. Read Full Review

    Comic Book Revolution - Kevin Lainez

    Oct 23, 2025

    Ultimate Spider-Man #22 is such a mixed bag. The things it gets right, like how Peter Parker and Mary Jane are portrayed, is done very well. But the places where the story doesn't fully connect come across as the creative dropping the ball on development that should've been great. Luckily even the scenes that don't work are lifted up by Marco Checchetto's fantastic artwork. It ultimately leaves us in a spot where there is enough good to still look forward to how this story will end. Read Full Review

    Weird Science Marvel Comics - mrgabehernandez

    Oct 22, 2025

    Ultimate Spider-Man #22 looks phenomenal and sounds snappy, but beneath the gloss, its structurally confused. Hickmans ambition outpaces his execution here, leaving strong character beats dangling inside a muddled, uneven framework. Its a gorgeous web but one tied in its own knots. Read Full Review

    Plot Peter, MJ, May, Richard, Ben, JJ Jameson, and Otto Octavius "‹"‹live in a house underground, protected by the Mole Man. Otto and Richard share the household chores. Richard wears his nanotech suit, while Otto also wears a Spider-Man suit and calls himself "Superior." Otto manages to create a device that, when connected to one of the Maker's communication nodes, can erase all information regarding Peter and his family, allowing him to return to the surface. However, that node is protected by the Kingpin, so Richard asks the Black Cat for help. Peter and Harry continue solving crimes in the city, especially when they manage to defeat an army of Bullseye. Gwen's death has Harry more focused than ever. Harry offers Peter a dinner da more

    I kinda undertand why some people don't like this book. The pacing is weird and sometimes feels unfocused. Having said that this run feels so nice to read, I like a lot the dialogue, the subtle elements of the lore, the characterization and of course the art. I don't know if this is all gonna end in a good way but I'm enjoying the ride

    It's a well done issue, it's just kind of another issue where not much happens (besides the reveal at the end). I can't keep letting it get a pass for that.

    There's a pretty well-known meme online called Potential Man. It's about that character everyone hypes up, the one who's supposed to be destined for greatness... but never quite lives up to it. That's exactly what Ultimate Spider-Man feels like. A brilliant start, full of promise and then nothing. Truly the biggest wasted potential of any comic in recent years. At least Checchetto remains exceptional.

    This comic feels like everything one shouldn't be when making a story with set ending in mind. And that is: it tells, it doesn't show. I can always praise art here. I do love it. But the timeskip we got, was way too major. What is left is us being told multiple things without us actually seeing them. We are given implication that they happened and that's it. Otto is now Spider-Man. One can think how, when, why and who taught him, how did Peter and Harry react to it but those kinds of questions are just ignored. We are told that and should just accept it. I also don't know how he got so close to the Parker family, but focusing on that would require some kind of writing for characters which is a big no in this book. Better to just t more
