Product Description
Peter Parker and his Aunt May have perhaps the most important conversation of the young web-slinger's life. It's a gut-wrenching, emotional roller coaster you'll never forget. And Spider-Man is on the call when there is a huge explosion in the side of the Triskelion - the high-tech site housing superhuman criminals. From the acrid smoke emerges a man seething with vengeance - a man who wants Peter Parker dead! That man is Norman Osborn, the Green Goblin! And for the web-spinner, things are about to get out of control! Then, things are changing in the young life of Peter Parker: the Fantastic Four's Johnny Storm is now his buddy - and the hot-headed super hero has taken a liking to Peter's classmate, Liz Allen! But something is horribly wrong with Liz - something that will soon affect the life of every student at Midtown High - including Peter's ex-girlfriend, Kitty Pryde! Guest-starring the X-Men and the most malevolent mutant of all: Magneto, Master of Magnetism! Plus: The return of Omega Red! And the worst day in Peter Parker's life! Collects Ultimate Spider-Man #112-121.

 Good read June 22, 2010
ADAK (Indianapolis, IN)
I certainly missed Mark Bagley in this book as vol. 9 was his last, but Imonen does a good job filling in. The events of Ultimatum, where so many characters died seems to have overshadowed the weight of the Death of a Goblin storyline, but it was a very well-written end of a tragic villain who, at the end, shows some humanity at least insofar as he shows remorse.
The Kitty Pride/Mary Jane scenarios are also very well written and enjoyable as high school teen angst meets well-written storylines to possibly create friends and certainly jumpstart the more high school-centered events of Ultimate Comics.
I honestly was not too thrilled with the Amazing Friends storyline and the odd characterization of Magneto who shows up as an errand boy for the Blob, but otherwise it was solid as well and the Shocker storyline was phenomenal. A nobody villain with no prospects gets his 2 minutes of fame and I still feel just a little sorry for the tragic inventor who felt forced to turn villain.
Looking forward to re-reading Vol. 11 when I get around to it.
 Well Done June 7, 2010

Was expecting a book just like some of the others my son has (Black and White)
This one in full color, and quality was amazing. Heck, so nice looking that I might just have to read it now! :)
Fun and Fantastic! June 3, 2009

Bendis continues to deliver the goods. His remains the most consistently entertaining and true-to-character Spider-Man. This collection is a little lighter, and a little more fun, than the dramatic stories that bookend it (War of the Symbiotes and the Clone Saga).
Stuart Immonen is the best April 22, 2009

I bought this after hearing about the Death Of A Goblin arc and it was truly fantastic. The book really shines because of Stuart Immonen's pencils which are about 10 times better than Mark Bagley's. His art is just so vibrant and dynamic that you'll even be entertained by the more low key parts of the story. There is one scene in particular where Spider-man, Kitty Pryde and the Green Goblin are from falling from a from a building and I was just floored. I may not make it sound exciting but the scene was extraordinarily well structured and then there is the final battle which was my favorite part; the Goblin was just so badass. All in all, this was an amazing read and I'm sure it will hook anyone interested in Spider-Man.

This is SO good! If you had dropped off this series due to the unimaginative hack-work of Mark Bagely, you may want to read this. It is revelatory what a great artist can bring to a book. A side-by-side comparison with Volume 9 shows just how little effort Bagely was putting out. In an interview printed at the back of that volume, he basically admits to churning out pages without much thought, and with as little effort as possible in order to meet his monthly quotas. He even admits to feeling insecure vs. other, better pencillers.
Thanks to the inspired art of Stuart Immonen, I reengaged with this title, which is truly the place to be for Spider-Man fans. He takes time to really compose each frame, capturing the drama of fight scenes and the more personal moments. There's an incredible full-page scene of the Green Goblin and Spider-Man falling out of a high-rise that has to be one of the best moments in Spider-Man history--my jaw dropped.
As for the writing of Mr. Bendis, the last few volumes had seemed interminable. I now realize that was partially because of the lackluster artwork. I'm now able to enjoy his witty and nuanced scripts--I don't even mind reading pages and pages of Peter and Aunt May whining.
In terms of story, if you've skipped the last 50 issues or so, no worries, you'll pick right up here and enjoy the first few chapters of fast-paced action with the Green Goblin and Kitty Pride, who is, at least in these stories, an excellent complement to the cast (again, Bagely was doing nothing with her...in Immonen's hands, she shines).
