That's My Story.
So Spider-Man is dead and JJJ has just come to the realization that he was a hero and not a deviant. And I must say this issue wasn't exactly what I expected, but as a two-part story, I still like.
I was expecting a "clip show" issue with Jameson writing his story in the background. And as a fan whose been reading the book for the last 4 or 5 years, I can't say I would mind that. There is an wonderful story lying just below the surface on this issue and I have this feeling that the second part will be that, because while I don't always enjoy getting jerked around by Bendis, he writes Ultimate Spider-Man very well.
We get the first appearance (as far as I know) of Hydra in the Ultimate Universe and without spoiling anything, it's not in the exact way you might think, but they're not really different from the 616 persona. There is the inner mind of Tony Stark and not as much Peter as one might think, but within the frame of the story, it makes sense.
I'm really conflicted as to how to rank this issue, the art is wonderful and the story is pretty good, but the feeling that I wanted something more keeps coming back to me. There's no reason not to pick it up if you're a fan and as half the story, it's great. But not the best Ultimate Spider-Man I've ever read.
