If you read the last issue, then you should know the Kingpin is dead. The reinvention of Mysterio is amazing, theres no magician acts, but he does deal a lot with machinery. It's nice to see that the ultimate universe hasnt completely forgotten about the events of Ultimatum. Kitty Pride is forbidden to use her mutant powers, the daily bugle has gone out of business, and The Spectacular Spider-man is idolized by almost all of New York. Usually, some writers forget these things but lucky, this comic is written by the one and only Brian Micheal Bendis. Great story, great art, and a mildly great cliff hanger. Can't wait to see what happens next.

By now, you'd think having constant flashbacks and reinventing well-known characters would be a tired out concept. Fortunately, in this comic that isn't the case. The Red Skull's origins are officially revealed and I have to say they go well with the ultimate universe. The only problem I had with this issue was that it left me full of questions with no answers in sight. This issue is leading up to major event that has yet been revealed, but when the time comes, I cannot wait to see the aftermath of huge conclusion.

After reading Ultimatum and watching almost all of my favorite super heroes get killed off by some mutant punk, It does my mind good to see old writers return the ultimate comics universe. This book takes place somewhere in Chicago weeks after ultimatum. Captain America teams up with Hawkeye to take down the newly formed organization known as A.I.M.  In this issue of the Avengers, the team isn't actually at their full force. While only two members are active to handle the S.H.I.E.L.D. situation, Ironman is doing some down time as the rich boy billionaire and Nick Fury has been become deactivated agent of peace. This comic has a relatively good amount of action in it and creates a lot of new characters and twists. I was pleased to hear that Mark Millar was coming back to write the Ultimates/Ultimate Avegers storyline and now that I've read this book, I'm incredibly ready to see how things turn out in the next issue.

After Ultimatum, I was shocked to see that Peter Parker a.k.a. Spider-man had died in an explosion in downtown New York. Ultimate Spider-man was my first comic book and to see the events taken place in the ultimate universe shook me up inside. Fortunetly, that wasn't the end of the Ultimate Spider-man storyline. The story takes place months after Ultimatum. New York has been restored to it's former glory and the Amazing Spider-man's reputation has been boosted thank to J.J.J.'s article on the masked hero. I liked how Bendis has changed the love interests in the story along with the new characters that were introduced in this issue. I was a little unsure about how I would like the interior art, but once I actually started reading the comic, I had a great change of heart. I would recommend this book to anyone who couldn't find a place to start reading the ultimate comics line-up and to those who have been following the storyline for months or even years.

In the last issue of the Ultimate Spider-man series, Brian Bendis makes this story one to remember. There are no words written in this issue, but that is what gives it the unique quality that every  great comic book should have. Unfortunately, to continue with my review, I'm going to have to spoil the ending. Peter Parker/Spider-Man is apparently dead after an explosion caused by the Hulk creates a devastating eruption in New York. Peter's death is mourned by all of his friend including Spider-Woman, Mary Jane, Kitty, Kong, and Aunt May. It is possible that Peter might not stay dead because of the new volume coming out for Ultimate Spider-Man. It's been a great run with Bendis writting these great stories and Immonen creating fantastic drawings for the series, but now it all comes to and end. I gave this review 5/5 stars, this is literally the first comic that I've given this rating to so far. I would definetly recommend this book to anyone who has read at least one or two issues of the series.

Since the Ultimates have been known as the world's premerie superhero team, many lives have been saved in the past few months and years. Still, what about the less fortunate heroes that don't have the equipment or money like Tony Stark or Spider-man, this issue of the Ultimates tells that tale. The Defenders are a group of costumed heroes without any cool headquarters or powers for that matter, but when Hank Pym(Ant-Man) steps forward into the group, things don't actualy change that much.  I enjoy the idea of re-inventing the "Defenders" as a gang of people who are in way over their heads. Mark Millar shows in detail how human these characters are,Nighthawk was thrown straight out of a window and painfully crashed on top of a car,he never got up after that.After seeing what heroes are supossed to act like and looking back at this issue, I say that these guys(the defenders) have a lot of training to do. Overall, this was a good issue, the art and writing in my opinion were fantastic.

To Start off, I'm a big fan of this series and all of it's caracters, I enjoy the story plots and cross-overs that are created during the issues. Having that said, I very much enjoyed this issue and all of the major guest apperances that showed up during the climatice events that occured in this book. This issue gave me a great feeling that this was a major event such as Secret Invasion and Ultimatum. It carries a great ammount of action and violence while having a mildly good plot and story. It promises to keep the reader interested throughout the entire issue and gives a suprise ending that would tempt readers to join in the next issue. There are suprising deaths located in this issue, but I will not give away any spoilers to thoose who like to read comic book issues first hand. The Image universe is collapsing and Robert Kirkman is writing the story that will guide you through it.

This issue realy suprised me, THE DEATH OF DAREDEVIL. I would never see that coming. Bendis has done a lot of work on that character, it suprised me to see his dead body after the Ultimatum wave hit. Overall, this was a great issue, a little short but a great ending. The way the Hulk was drawn was also amazing. He looked like a giant zombie compared to everything else drawn in the series. By the way that this issue ended, we will be hearing from the death of Doctor Strange next issue. I just can't believe that the ultimate universe is coming to an end. Ultimate Spider-man was the reasonn\ that I got into comics and now knowing that he might die in the ultimatum is a incredibly shocking fact. Can't wait to see what happens next.
