This is what we call a great issue two. I have zero complaints. Art is amazing, plot moves ahead while everything feels natural.
I am still a bit wary of this run because of the editorial. But I am getting excited what we see next.
Keep on cooking Kelly!
RHINO RAMPAGE!
• What amped Rhino up from criminal super-bruiser to rampaging disaster machine? We aren't spilling, but it just amped up Spider-Man!
• That's right, Spider-Man is going in and out of control of his senses trying to figure out how to get full control of his body.
• And the only people who can help are ...
Peter's on the outs with the FF. He's on the outs with the Avengers. He's on the outs with Aunt May! No one wants to see Spider-Man - except for Doctor Octopus. Ock's on Spider-Man's tail and the Master Planner has something truly terrible planned for when he gets his tentacles on Spidey. All that, and what does Tombstone have planned? Just in time...
THE JOKER AND MR. FREEZE MAKE THEIR ABSOLUTE UNIVERSE DEBUT--STARTING HERE! It's about to get icy cold in Gotham City...as we reveal the connections between a young, up-and-coming scientist named Victor Fries, his history with the Ark M experiment, and what it all has to do with the mysterious Joker. A bombastic two-parter with a guest artist, the ...
Let's start with the obvious.
The art is amazing. Just so beautiful. Welcome to ASM Pepe Laraz, I hope you are staying for a long time.
As for stories? Kelly did good. This is so much better than #61 was and I think it is because it feels like there is a direction here. We are actually going somewhere and not just waiting for plot to happen. That is great and Kelly uses his more

I'm not gonna pretend I love the idea. But Ewing makes the script work. And he is the guy whose work I love like 99% of the time, so I will give him a chance. You have me still on board Ewing. I wanna see what you will cook.
WHO IS THE ALL-NEW VENOM...REVEALED?!
When all the red herrings have been weeded out - who's left? The clues have been in front of you the whole time - and by the end of this issue, you WILL know the name of the ALL-NEW VENOM...but with M.O.D.O.K. out for symbiote blood, you might just be identifying the corpse!

8-BALL AND THE POOL PARTY DO A HEIST!
I read X-Men before this and thought to myself "This is perfectly OK, IDK why I'm so down on this comic" and then I read this and remembered what really great McKay looks like.
Also, wonderful work on the art from Domenico Carbone, exciting panel layouts and a fantastic splash page of Tigra.
The best issue of this volume of more

I think this was one of the first issues where Bazaldua's art really shined for me. Ewing's script is great as usual.
LOST IN UTGARD!
• Thor had made his way to Utgard - and there waited the Utgard-Loki, who the Odinson had never yet defeated.

THE HOTLY ANTICIPATED SEQUEL TO THE SMASH-HIT STORYLINE! Jeph Loeb! Jim Lee! An all-new epic saga begins here. Hush returns!
Like most artists past their prime, Jim Lee recycles his older dynamic poses and iconic set pieces to mixed results. I won't say it looks bad but it's definitely derivative of his own earlier work and it stands out. Loeb's writing is much the same. This is definitely post Loeb peak. He's harder, his stories darker in tone, vocabulary and scope. He went through trauma. It makes sense. What doesn't more
THE HOTLY ANTICIPATED SEQUEL TO THE SMASH-HIT STORYLINE! Jeph Loeb! Jim Lee! An all-new epic saga begins here. Hush returns!
I was not a fan of this as much as I was the previous issues.
Every issue focusing on one month is really hurting this book. Because we miss crucial moments between the main cast of this book and it makes it seem like nothing important happens between the issues.
MJ is just fine with Peter being gone for over a month, tortured and having his identity revealed, which causes th more
THE ULTIMATE SANDMAN ATTACKS!
• As the dust settles from the events of recent issues, Peter, MJ and the kids take a family vacation - but nowhere is safe for Ultimate Spider-Man!
I just realize that Peter Parker learned about his son with the symbiote off-screen. I also realize that between Issue 12 and 13, the symbiote bonded with Richard Parker and that's off-screen. I get the monthly flash-forwards are to coincide with a future event in the new Ultimate Universe, but at least show flashbacks so we are SHOWN important character moments so we can be attached to them
This issue really shows the cracks in this series. I understand that Hickman views each issue like a month has passed in real time, and that's fine. But the problem is that the pacing in this issue is kind of whack, and for once I can see how Gabe Hernandez gave this a lower score. Last issue we see Peter Parker and Mary Jane run away. But then this issue they're just chilling on a vacation. And Imore

• As the dust settles from the events of recent issues, Peter, MJ and the kids take a family vacation - but nowhere is safe for Ultimate Spider-Man!
Gotta say, art was phenomenal. And I liked what Kelly's idea was for this and message was heartful So, I can confidently say that if the hack fraud who works for the Spidey office as the main editor doesn't quit by 1000, then I will. The sheer level of incompetence this storyline has showcased has been disrespectful and horrible to see.
Like, way to ruin a nice idea by Kelly. Like what more
THE 8 DEATHS OF SPIDER-MAN CONCLUDES! ENTER THE SPIDER-NAUT! But who is this unstoppable webbed-wonder?!
Spider-Man's greatest enemies is not Green Goblin, Doctor Octopus, Venom, or even Morlun. It's the Marvel editors. The Marvel editors should just try to not interfere as much as they can and let the writers tell their own story. Even if I don't like it, I can at least respect an author's vision more than a meddled up editorial vision
This review is so insanely spiteful I'm almost wondering if it is a satire.
KINGPIN'S SINISTER SIX!
Kingpin gathers a team to deal with his masked-vigilante problem... But a group of super villains isn't the only challenge Spider-Man will face! Meanwhile, Green Goblin joins forces with...Doc Ock?

This comic shouldn't work, but Soule and Saiz make it work.
THE RIGHT TO REMAIN VIOLENT!
When Eddie Brock walks into a police station and asks to be arrested, you know there's going to be some trouble. When Eddie also happens to be bonded to Carnage? It's going to be a bloody nightmare. The most lethal protector of all continues his deadly mission!

This should be everything I dislike about Snyder writing Batman, but this bombastic comic just keeps entertaining me big time.

I have to say, as someone who doesn't like 5 Deaths of Spider-Man, this was fine. Pretty good actually. As a singular issue. With amazing art.
But as the penultimate issue of this story, it just showcases all the weaknesses it had. Too many players and very odd writing for Spidey. Kelly's writing is solid for all characters, but how Peter and Blight and general setting was handled, this more
