Ultimate Spider-Man #160
Im reviewing Ultimate Spider-man #160. The death of Spider-Man!
Let me start off by saying that I'm not a big fan of Spider-Man, but I was hoping for something more exciting then what happened in this issue! I hade not gotten any of the previous issues of this story arc but had followed it enough on Comic Vine that I wasnt going in totally blind. I like the story Bendis had crafted and what Spider-man was doing during the final battle. The thing that killed him..............Very Lame! I haven't been a big follower of Spidey over the years, but a character like him doesn't last as long as he has to be killed off in such a way.
Bagley's artwork was good and I love his version of Green Goblin.
As much as this event was hyped, it was a major let down to me! The only good news, is that it totally set up for Peter Parker to return! At least my son wasnt to broke up on that front!
And for those of you who want to know what happened
He was killed when the truck he used to crush Green Goblin, exploded! Then he died in MJ's arms! Lame!
