    "I Think God Wants Us to kill Peter Parker"

    This is it.Maybe the last story of 'Ultimate Spider-Man' and finally all time favorite Mark Bagley is back to pencil it.Spoilers ahead, beware.So Norman Osborn escaped(after turned out to be alive) and took Electro,Kraven,Octopus,Sandman and Vulture with him. Norman now developed some sort of God Complex and believes that God wants them to kill Peter Parker .
    Peter meanwhile has his own problems.Sure things got back on track between him and Mary Jane, but Steve Rogers aka Captain America continues(or starts?!) to be a pain in Peter's butt because he is the only one who doesn't believe that Peter can make a difference as he considers him foolish,childish and irresponsible.
    The New Ultimates vs. Avengers also are an organic part of the issue(much 'off-screen' of course) because they are mentioned several time throughout the issue plus Spidey witnesses the showdown between the two group which causes a massive destruction at the Queenborough Bridge.
    I think the issue fairly deserves a 4.5 out of possible 5. Bagley is back and nothing can stop him and Bendis from delivering a milestone arc that could easely be Spidey's swan song.

And just in time for this death, we also see the return of Mark Bagley on art duties. If that return isn't enough, wait until you see you else returns in the opening pages.  We've seen several deaths in many comics recently. The big question is, will Spider-Man in fact die? Could you have a Spider-Man comic...

      One step closer to the DEATH of Spider-man 0

         Cover I was excited when I saw this cover. We have had a couple of issues with Prelude: of Ultimate death of Spider-man. Now that word Prelude has vanished and we have the real thing. I was very excited for this story arc and so that made me very excited to see this cover and pick up the issue. Story Norman Osborn has broken out of SHEILD’s custody and has brought some of his friends with him like the Sandman, Kraven, Electro, Dr. Oc, and Vulture. Spider-man is being trained by Captain ...
