 Bad, good, and in-betwwen July 25, 2010
M. Walker (Pleasanton, CA)
The events of Magneto's "Ultimatum" hit Peter Parker hard. In the course of these stories, his friends and loved-ones are arrested, almost killed, and just out-and-out confused. I honestly felt more sadness at the loss of some potentially good storylines that were set up at the beginning of the book instead of the how it all turned out. I guess you can count me as someone who gives a thumbs-down to Ultimatum.
It's fair to point out that the last bit of the book is drawn without dialogue. I'm not a fan of that at all; I think it's lazy writing. This isn't a silent movie! I got the feeling that the writer had too much story to tell for the comic. It's like a strobe light--you can see some of what happens, but in the end, I was left unfulfilled.
In summary, I feel this was a poor ending to an awesome series. I'm not sorry I read this last book, but I'm kinda sorry I bought it.
 Sigh...bye bye spidey July 5, 2010

I really anticipated this volume cause I knew it was going to be the last one, so I wasn't let down or shocked. I'm glad that it ended the way it did even though this series was the definition of comics for me. It was time they did something for the new decade which is why I'm excited about the Ultimate Comics Spiderman that comes out July 8 (this Thursday)...it all will feel fresh again but with familiar characters and no need to go into origins. I feel like for once I'm not behind in the comic world.
Wow. This is (was) Bendis' best book ever March 15, 2010

"Ultimate Spider-Man, v.22"
Written by Brian Michael Bendis
Illustrated by Stuart Immonen
(Marvel Comics, 2010)
----------------------------------------
Wow. So, I guess this is the last volume of "Ultimate Spider-Man," which is a shame since this was the best of all the Ultimate titles, and the only one that never had a dip in quality -- Brian Michael Bendis definitely had the right bead on the Peter Parker character, and never let this book fall into the violence-for-simple-shock-value quagmire that brought the other Ultimate books down. From start to finish, USM has been a great book, with great heart, intelligence, wit and warmth.
Anyway, if you're going to go out, go out with a bang, right? In this volume, Bendis starts out with a teen-scene domestic drama -- Peter and Mary Jane talking about whether they should have sex yet -- that picks up the slack left by the cancellation of the also-superior, girl-oriented "Mary Jane Loves Spider-Man" series. After this strong and thoughtful beginning, the book slips into the apocalyptic "Ultimatum" storyline, in which Magneto lays waste to the New York City and, I guess, Marvel cuts loose the various Ultimate titles. Spidey's role is central and gripping, as he webs his way through the ravaged metropolis, saving as many lives as he can. Each episode builds on the last, coming to a conclusion that has a believable air of tragedy and finality. Along the way, Spidey's team-up with the brutish Ultima-Hulk is stunning, one of the best portrayals of Hulk I've ever read, and a great showcase for Bendis' version of the patent-pending Peter Parker/Spider-Man sense of humor. This was a great book, and a fine accomplishment on the part of Brian Michael Bendis. Congratulations on a job well done. Too bad it's (apparently) over. (DJ Joe Sixpack, ReadThatAgain book reviews)

Is Ultimatum the end of Ultimate Spiderman? Find out by reading Ultimate Spiderman vol.22 (collecting issues #129-133). Written by the truly talented writer Brian Michael Bendis from the New Avengers and Illustrated by Stuart Immonen and David Lafuente.
The evil Magneto has unleashed a tidal wave on Manhatten and Professor Xavier needs the help of Spiderman to save the city. Read how Spiderman, Hulk, Doctor Strange, and Spiderwoman try to save the people of New York During what seems like the end of the world.
Good For Spiderman and Marvel fans.

frigging nice, the art alone was amazing but the story really got me going. once i started reading it i couldn't pt it down until i was done. the only bad thing is the waiting for the next TB. The last chapter will really impress you on how art can tell a great story.
