I love how different yet fresh this feels compares to Earth 616 Spider-Man and Earth 1610 Spider-Man.
THE SHOCKING CONCLUSION OF THE ULTIMATE OPENING ARC!
Spider-Man must finally confront the head honcho himself: Wilson Fisk, the Kingpin! Kingpin, as owner and operator of the Daily Bugle, has been working with the Maker's Council to control the spread of information in their favor... Which means he's the first domino that must be toppled to end their regime! PLUS: Mary Jane holds her own. 'Nuff said!
Rated T
Pairing with Wilsons emotionally and socially driven coloring, the aesthetic of the book feels as foundational as the artwork in the original Ultimate Spider-Man. With one story arc under its belt, its clear that this book will go down as a defining moment in Spider-Mans history, offering a real, substance path forward for the character in terms of plot, character, and artwork. This is a book that belongs on any comic readers shelf, Spider-Man fan or not. It is an offering of what Big 2 comics can be when they have the chance to grow and change, striving for something familiar yet original. Read Full Review
This is proof that you can make a story in a major universe with an A-list character and just do your thing, and it can be both rewarding and the readership will flock to it. Read Full Review
Ultimate Spider-Man #6 is a formative finale to the first arc. Spider-Man and Green Goblin are put to their largest test yet, highlighting to themselves and the audience that they are not ready to run a revolution alone. Read Full Review
Ultimate Spider-Man #6 has everything fans have been asking for in a Spider-Man comic. It features big action, wholesome Peter and MJ scenes, and exceptional art. It also continues to show a Spider-Man who is older but way more green than ever as he tries to figure out this superhero thing. Read Full Review
This Ultimate universe continues to reinvent the Marvel Universe and it's absolutely fantastic. Read Full Review
Checchetto offers some awesome art throughout the issue. The visuals are vibrant and capture the thrills of the story beautifully. Read Full Review
Ultimate Spider-Man #6 is yet another example of the excellence that is Jonathan Hickman and Marco Checchetto run. The way they wrap up the first story arc created even more interesting in not just the plans for Spider-Man and Green Goblin but the direction the entire Parker family will take from here. This easily the best Spider-Man comic book we've gotten in years and Marvel's best series right now. Read Full Review
Ultimate Spider-Man #6 is the issue starving Spider-Man fans have been waiting for. Checchetto delivers the goods with fantastic character acting and art, and Hickman finally takes a break from interesting-yet-unnecessary world-building to give readers an adventure story that mixes action, heart, and intrigue. If it wasn't for a (probable) glaring goof between the art and the script, this would be a nearly perfect issue. Read Full Review
Fun issue that keeps the story going along, though it treats pretty major events pretty casually. But I suppose this is a fairly casual comic so far overall. Read Full Review
Ultimate Spider-Man #6 provides a solid foundation for many great future stories. Read Full Review
Ultimate Spider-Man #6 is better than the previous issue, but not as good as the first four. The family's reaction feels a bit odd with MJ being far more understanding and calm about it than expected. There seems to be a lack of it hitting them as to what it all means. Maybe we'll see that in the next issue but for what should be a shocking moment, it falls flat and comes far too soon in the series. Read Full Review
Theme: HOPE
Yes. I gave it a 10. I usually ignore the top scores or lowest scores of something. But this, for the first time in a long time, I fully believe, ten toes behind this line, will die on this hill give this a 10.
I am a 38 year old man. And I cried. I cried tears of joy, Tears of frustration and tears of HOPE. I've read Spider-Man since I was 5.Spider-Man was my hero, as in truly. At 5, my formative years were spent reading old back issues and very early 90s stuff. And more or less, Spider-Man became more than a comic to me, he became an ideal. The things he stood for, his love for MJ. His fierceness to fight for what's right and good. His ability to THINK through his problems,not just rely on his powers, his willi more
The first arc of Jonathan Hickman’s Ultimate Spider-Man comes to a thrilling conclusion, solidifying its place as Marvel's best current Spider-Man series. In these six issues, Hickman has masterfully crafted a fully realized world with his version of new, yet not-new characters. It has delivered everything Spider-Man fans crave: intense action involving a mature Peter Parker, who also has a home life that includes his perfect partner, MJ. But none of it is lip service. There is an intentionality in this book that shows the creative team knows exactly what they want to do and are flexing all of their creative muscles to achieve it at an extremely high level.
While we see how much of a family man he is in this universe, I’ve lo more
This is why I read comics.
This is magic.
Are you taking notes Zeb wells, do you not see how it's done?
I agree with everything daspidaboy and Hex said, please refer to their reviews.
I love this series so much.
No angsty irrational responses!?! Wonderful
I enjoyed this a lot, I just hoped for more progress. I was hoping for a Sinister Six throw down for arc 2, but that is clearly not in the cards at this pace.
The only thing I'm left wanting on in this book is a bit more engaging action. Seeing as it's Peter still getting his feet under him as well as Harry, I can understand. It's their first big fight. Against an opponent they were both completely unprepared for. I just want my jaw to drop at some point from how amazing that will be. I know we'll get there. Before then, we've got some of the best characterization in Spider-Man that I could ask for. It's not 616 Peter and this still feels like the most genuine version of him we've seen in almost 20 years. Peter who cares about his family, Peter who doesn't WANT to hurt people or commit crimes if he doesn't have to. A real boy scout in the best way. Just a good guy doing everything he can to do thmore
Jonahtan hickman is like the Human Torch right now, because he's literally on fire with this run. He is straight up murdering the competition with this run, and I love the chemistry between Peter and Harry, I like how threatening Kingpin is, and I like how Peter's kid chose the suit for him, and how Mary Jane chose his name. It's beautiful, I f*cking love it.
A solid issue. Kingpin is a menace. I like the character work. I do think it's obvious something is going to happen with Peter's family.
Thank God we are back to form on this series. I was just about to drop it from my pull list. Two issues with Spider-Man even making an appearance is insane. This is structured very well and there's a decent fight scene as well as scenes with the family. That's why we read this book. I did think it was a cop-out with him telling the family the secret when he was so adamant about not telling them only two issues ago. Otherwise, the issue is great.

I wish this was perfect. Or an amazing conclusion to the first arc.
But unfortunately it isn't. There is a lot of amazing stuff here, chemistry between Harry and Peter, amazing art and action.
But MJ and Richard were disappointment. Richard feels like a non-character and MJ feels too perfect. There is no struggle, no doubts, not even worries or arguments. Just text-book perfectism, which is nice, but not exciting.
I don't want massive argument or anything, but something. Right now I have gotten very little from MJ as a character and I hoped this would give us something.
I love MJ. I love her and Peter together, they are my favorite couple in comics and one of my favorites in fiction. So I wanna se more
I really liked the issue, and seeing Marco Checchetto's art back is always amazing to see. I really did like that this was finally the issue that the rest of the Parker family found out about his secret of being the wallcrawler. Seeing the chemistry between Peter and Harry definitley was fun to see before the action and looking forward to how they grow as a pair in their teamwork and in friendship and in their sole fighting ability. It was cool to see how green they both kind of are especially Peter, but having something to look forward to later and eventually to see how far he's come in that aspect, in later issues. However, I guess the only thing that held back the rating is just how MJ and Richard reacted, it just seemed like they came tmore
