However, here, the relationships felt so much more natural and the issues the characters faced within their personal lives felt much more realistic than some other comics. That said, these two omnibus editions have 1990s single issues and the Ultimates omnibus has the first 6 issues of Ultimates universe X-Men, Spider-Man, Fantastic Four and the Ultimates. It's like the inevitable second or third superhero movie, where the producer suddenly decides that we need two villains to remain interested. The girls in his life are minor roles, but then again so are the boys, and at least the girls fight their own good fights.

This first volume contains the first 39 issues as well a ½ issues, showing Peter Parker as a 15 year old highschool sophomore in a new alternate Marvel universe that starts fresh. It's a f****** great comic and has received a lot of acclaim, but why has the most omnibus come out before the OHCs? From the original Raimi trilogy, to the ‘Amazing Spider-Man’ duology, and even the later MCU trilogy and appearances in general. I think modern readers without a taste for the older stuff would like this better than the original material. Cause the story and writing carries on very natural like a good interesting conversation (I heard those occur occasionally).

The whole goal of Bagley and Bendis was to capture that youth of Peter Parker/Spider-Man, and look wise, Bagley executes perfectly.

Die Schule und die Bullies haben sich natürlich verändert, aber die Stimmungslage ist weitestgehend dieselbe geblieben. Third, the lines spark with zing and sass, beyond any top bantz which Johnny Storm and the Thing can produce with the possible exception of "Dude, you fantasti-suck. This era of Spider-Man is just prime to me, Bendis took years of history and merged it all together to make a modern (of that time) take, use all the good stuff leave out all the bloated and just run with it. Only difference is this time around instead of all that taking place in one issue it’s all spread out into a 7 issue intro arc.GoTG is very uneven, there are some good issues and some terrible one where the guest artist is really really bad.

I’m talking straight up panels put into film in every film throughout the 20 years that they’ve come out. You see him dealing with high school romance, living with Gwen Stacy (who's a punk girl, with daddy issues), getting a job to support Aunt May, or even just simply having problems escaping school to go save the day. Unfortunately, the arc is brought down somewhat by some boring fights with the Venom suit and then with Venom himself: fights that just don't have much depth to them [4/5]. Der Kalte Krieg, Vietnam und Kommunismusangst wurden getilgt, ebenso anderen Anklänge, die zu sehr den 60ern verhaftet waren.Vor allem ist Spidey immer der menschlichste aller Superhelden gewesen, und genau das bleibt er bei Bendis glücklicher Weise auch. Marvel has been issuing some larger books at Monster/or King size which are larger than omnibus size books.

It's also very good at being self contained and not requiring the reader to know too much about the Ultimates (this takes place in Earth-1610), with only a few non-Spidey characters showing up. Using her own unique set of skills, Zoe eventually closes in on the killer until they come face to face for the final kill. Not a big Spidey fan, but I have loved a lot of Bendis's stuff(Torso, Daredevil, Powers) in the past so I gave this a shot. I too agree with Sage about DD picking up at the end, and I too cannot bring myself to read any Golden Age stuff. He is no stranger to Spider-Man as he drew the character quite a bit back in the 90s and in my personal opinion, is the best to ever draw the character.In between are some non arc specific issues that show his everyday struggle of juggling the life of a highschool teen and a masked superhero.
