    “After Every Beginning there is an End”

    The book that got me into reading comic books has reached its end. Was the experience everything that we hoped it would be?

    The Good

    The teamwork of Brian M. Bendis and Mark Bagley can easily be described as legendary. Their aptitude for storytelling is classic and it is a pleasure to see this series end with the creative team that started it over ten years ago.

    The events in this final issue are moving, emotive and exciting. For the lack of a better word this whole arc was close to perfection. The incorporation of (almost) every single supporting character in the series created the perfect setting for such an emotional finale.

    The Bad

    The story “intertwines” with the Ultimate Avengers vs. New Ultimates mini series. This story did not need the inclusion of the rest of the Ultimate Universe other than was already included in this last arc.

    The Verdict – 4.5 out of 5

    The story arc was called Death of Spider-Man so the ending of this issue should come as no surprise. The surprise was that, thanks to the execution, I enjoyed the issue even though I knew what the outcome would be.

      The Ultimate Universe loses one of its greatest heroes. 0

      Synopsis: The Death of Spider-Man, along with the series, comes to a close. What's Good? Really, a battle between Peter and Norman Osborn was the right way to finish this series. The creation vs the creator. Peter gives every ounce of his remaining strength to fight him and protect his friends and family, and even while he's bleeding to death, he has time to crack a few jokes. But he's not alone in this fight. Like with the previous issue, some characters go out their way and do some ridiculous...
