 Venom and New Suit September 15, 2008
Origin of Venom and new black Spidey suit. Looks cool in new suit but doesn't really last for too long. Nick Fury gives Spidey some encouragement to being a superhero.
 Awesome July 12, 2008
I picked up Ultimate Spider-man at my local library (who happens to be gracious to enough to have all the TPB volumes currently available). Even though I'm a fairly avid Marvel fan I had no idea what the premise of the book was. Needless to say, I was presently surprised.
I began reading at the 6th volume here and I think this modern day reinterpretation of Venom is brilliant. Venom has always been one of Spider-man's most intriguing and polarizing villians and he's no different in this new age adaptation. The dialogue is realistic and believable, not to mention also laugh-out-loud funny. Peter Parker's modus operandi of one-liners is at full strength here. The art is also phenomenal, when I heard Bagley had recently left the title after the issue 111 I was thoroughly disappointed. The art is perfect, I cannot imagine it being drawn by anyone else. Praise also to the inkers and colorists, they do a great job as well.
I'm a long-time Marvel fan. I've followed to company for the better part of a decade and I must say, the Ultimate Universe is well....Ultimate. If you've been comtemplating jumping into comics, yet are intimidated by the convoluted history of much of the Marvel U, then pick these books up. While you're at it, grab some of Mark Millar's incredible "Ultimates" books. This stuff is comic book gold.
A reborn Venom vs rebooted Spidey March 16, 2008
I specifically bought this volume, as I have always liked reading the conflict between Venom and Spidey. The origins of Venom are different in this reboot series, but make more sense. Esessentially, Peter Parker and Eddie Brock start out as friends and the goo that attaches itself to Peter and then Eddie was actually created by their fathers as a cure for cancer. It is a really good twist, I think, rather than the outer space plot used in the original Spiderman. Venom is evil as always and his battle with Spiderman makes for great reading. Definately recommended!
Awesome comic! September 25, 2007
This is the best Ultimate Spider-Man story yet! Venom is reinvented Ultimate style and he's never been better. Lots of action and heart in this one. Check it out.
Graphic SF Reader September 3, 2007
Young Spidey is having it tough. His aunt has some old videotapes of his parents, and he finds one with Eddie Brock on it, a friend of his when he was a young kid.
He goes and talks to him, and finds out he has some of the parental research going.
Hey presto, crazy dna venom-suit. Spidey doesn't keep it long as he almost kills someone.
Eddie, who he finds out via Gwen is really a 'dirtbag' as she put it, is not quite so picky.
