    Comic Watch - Dustin Gebel Aug 21, 2024

    Ultimate Spider-Man #8 may turn off readers looking for bombastic spectacle or knock-down, drag-out action but is a godsend for those interested in rich character work, clear thought in long-term plotting, and verbal tit-for-tats. Read Full Review

    Nerd Initiative - Josh Allen Aug 21, 2024

    It's taking characters we've known for so long, and not presenting them in a way that we've seen before. This issue along with the whole series should be at the top of everyone's must read list. It's still early in the series, so it won't take long for you to catch up if you haven't started yet. Read Full Review

    The Super Powered Fancast - Deron Generally Aug 21, 2024

    Checchetto delivers beautifully detailed and emotionally exciting art throughout the issue. I really like the interpretations of the characters in this world and how some are more physically menacing. Read Full Review

    AIPT - David Brooke Aug 21, 2024

    A slower issue on some scale, Ultimate Spider-Man #8 continues to flesh out new takes on villains, nuanced differences on classic characters, and a decidedly adult fresh look at Spider-Man. Read Full Review

    Graphic Policy - Logan Dalton Aug 25, 2024

    Jonathan Hickman, Marco Checchetto, and Matthew Wilson's reimagining of Peter Parker's Spider-Man continues to be one of my favorite comics of 2024. Read Full Review

    Ultimate Spider-Man #8 does a great job with interpersonal relationships but lacks the conflict to drive the plot. Read Full Review

    Henchman-4-Hire - Sean Ian Mills Aug 24, 2024

    One disappointing scene and two really fun scenes make for another excellent issue of Ultimate Spider-Man, though sometimes I worry that the comic focuses too much on the big picture. Read Full Review

    Impulse Gamer - Matt Fischer Sep 4, 2024

    Final Thoughts Another good issue, this book gives me hope for the Ultimate line. A great story is developing, Harry Osborn is slowly but surely coming apart, and our team of villains has come together. Peter is in a lot of danger, and he doesnt know it yet. Pick this up! Read Full Review

    Weird Science Marvel Comics - mrgabehernandez Aug 21, 2024

    Ultimate Spider-Man #8 marks the next in an increasingly disappointing series as Peter Parker spends the day at a birthday party while the Kingpin makes plans. If the goal was to get Earth-6160's heroes ready for the Maker's return, he's taking the slowest, least urgent road possible to get there. At $5 dollars per issue, Marvel can't afford to continue to waste the readers' time and money on a premium series that's treading water. Read Full Review
