  Major Spoilers - Stephen Schleicher Sep 23, 2010

  I haven't read Ultimate Spider-Man since about issue 9, but Bendis' writing style, my familiarity with the situation following Ultimatum, and Marvel's Previously In... issue lead-in made it easy to jump right back in to the story. And though I don't know what kind of havoc Farker caused with Mary Jane and Gwen Stacy, and even though I didn't see J.J. take a bullet to the head, I still enjoyed this issue a great deal. Bendis didn't waste the space with overly wordy dialogue balloons, and I've actually grown to appreciate Lafuente's art (especially in the few panels where it looks like he is channeling Gabriel Rodriguez). There's plenty of action to keep the rock'em-sock'em crowd in check, and big picture philosophical implications for the brainiacs. Ultimate Comics Spider-Man #14 is worth checking out, and deserves 3.5 out of 5 Stars. Read Full Review
